Key Features
The Cort Space 5 SE is a modern headless bass inspired by Cort’s original Space instruments from the 1980s. Its compact body and neck draw on the flagship Artisan Bass Series, with deeper, bolder contours and cutaways adapted for the headless format. A mahogany body with a roasted maple neck and maple fingerboard offers a solid and reliable construction, while the 34-inch scale, C-shaped neck and 24 frets with zero fret provide the foundations for its distinctive design.
Bartolini MK-1 pickups provide punchy, warm mids alongside transparent, brilliant highs, complemented by an active three-band EQ preamp for low, mid and high frequency adjustment. Specially designed headless hardware combines the tuners with individual bridge units, helping keep the instrument light and compact while providing tuning and playing stability. A spoke nut Hotrod truss rod allows precise neck bow adjustment, while the zero fret makes changing string gauges more straightforward without requiring the nut to be resized or replaced.

The Space 5 brings one of Cort's pioneering 1980s concepts into a modern headless bass designed around compact proportions. Inspired by the original Space instruments, its body and neck are modelled after the flagship Artisan Bass Series, then adapted with deeper, bolder contours and cutaways to suit the smaller headless format. The result connects Cort's headless heritage with its modern bass design, giving players a distinctive instrument shaped by both the original Space concept and the company's contemporary approach to construction.
Bartolini MK-1 pickups give the Space 5 a balanced tonal foundation, combining plenty of punchy, warm mids with transparent and brilliant highs. That core sound is paired with an active three-band EQ preamp, putting dedicated low, mid and high frequency adjustment within easy reach. Alongside the volume control, this gives you a straightforward way to fine-tune the bass to your preferred tone. It's a flexible electronics setup that preserves the trademark Bartolini character while offering useful control directly from the instrument.
The Space 5 uses specially designed hardware developed specifically for its headless system, rather than simply adapting conventional bass components. Its head piece and individual bridges were carefully developed and rigorously tested with tuning and playing stability in mind. Moving the tuner knobs to the individual bridge design also supports the aim of keeping the bass light, compact and hassle-free. Together, these purpose-built components help the Space 5 deliver the practical advantages of its headless format while remaining focused on stable, dependable performance for players.
Thoughtful neck features make the Space 5 easier to tailor around different strings and playing preferences. Its zero fret sets the string height over the fingerboard for open notes, leaving the nut to guide string spacing rather than determine their height. This means you can change string gauge without worrying about resizing or replacing the nut, while also avoiding unwanted friction there. A spoke nut Hotrod truss rod provides convenient neck bow adjustment, helping you dial in the amount required for your technique and style.
