Headless Design for Ultimate Control and Balance

If you’ve never held a headless bass before, prepare to be amazed. The Artisan Space 5 feels perfectly balanced whether you’re standing or sitting, and helps reduce arm fatigue over long playing sessions.

A Neck Any Player Will Love

A bass is only as good as its neck, and the Artisan Space 5 shows how fast and fluid that neck can feel. The 7-piece neck combines roasted maple, purpleheart, and walnut to support the Artisan Space 5’s expansive voice with tight mids and well-defined highs.

Bartolini® Electronics for World-class Tone

The Artisan Space 5 is equipped with Bartolini MK-1 pickups with active 3-band EQ, giving you ultimate control to shape your tone for any setting. MK-1 pickups are voiced for robust mids with brilliant highs, giving you a rich starting point to shape your sound with the bass, mid, and treble controls.

Zero Fret Enhances Long-term Playability

Instead of a traditional nut, the Artisan Space 5 is equipped with a zero fret to ensure maximum tuning and playing stability. With no friction at the nut, and no need to re-shape the nut to accommodate different string gauges, you’ll appreciate the zero fret more and more as the years go by.

Easily Adjustable Neck

The Artisan Space 5 makes it easy to fine-tune the amount of neck bow thanks to the spoke nut truss rod adjustment. Whether you need to make a quick adjustment before a gig, or you’re fine-tuning the relief for a new set of strings, you won’t even need a screwdriver.

The Space Bass is Back

The Space series pioneered the headless bass concept with tuner licensed by Steinberger Sound. The Artisan Space 5 brings the beloved Space body style and headless balance to a new generation of players, with the world-class craftsmanship and components this iconic bass deserves.

Specially Designed Hardware for Headless System

Head piece and individual bridges were carefully developed and rigorously tested to ensure maximum tuning and playing stability, as well as keeping the Space 5 as light, compact, and hassle-free as possible.
