Full Description
View Full DescriptionStriking design, exceptional playability
One of the first things you'll notice about this bass is its dramatic cutaway, contrasting wonderfully with the otherwise traditional and natural aesthetic. The cutaway allows you to reach those top frets without any hindrance at all. No more awkward hand positions, no more impeding strain, play effortlessly whilst every single note is projected impeccably. And to give you even more versatility and control over your sound, the multi-scale does not go amiss. It ensures the lower register is focused and astoundingly tighter.
Exceptional electronics
Sound more dynamic, more exhilarating, and more fierce than you ever have before. The Cort A5 Beyond is loaded with Bartolini MK-1 pickups to ensure you can do just that. These pickups deliver punchy mids that are full of stunning sonic warmth whilst also exuding brilliantly clear highs. The MK-1 preamp provides a powerful boost and the 3-band equaliser lends itself to a range of environments. Whether you're recording in the studio or performing on stage to an awestruck audience, play with astounding definition. The electronics also include a switchable active/passive mode for either modern or traditional sonic possibilities.
An extraordinary build
It's not just ground-breaking electronics that make this bass truly heavenly, but also the neck-through construction. This meticulous design produces shimmering sustain, ensuring those high frequencies ring out with beautiful transparency and crystal-clear definition. It delivers a superbly tight low end too, for both richness and punchiness.
Divine in looks, spectacular in sound
Bubinga and ash... a stunning combination that radiates with a natural finish. But this brilliant tonewood duo encompasses qualities that go beyond such an astounding aesthetic. An ash body embellishes each note you play with clarity, brightness, and crisp attack whilst the bubinga top then provides richness and resonance.
Teaming perfectly with such a fantastic body is a maple and panga panga neck. This tonewood combination provides excellent strength that thrives with any aggressive, passionate playing. And its tonal qualities are magnificent too. The brightness of maple is balanced with the warmth of panga panga, and this tone is ideal for gigging with as it is wonderfully focused and produces minimal feedback. Panga panga is also used for the fretboard, lending itself to quick and fearless fretting techniques. It is sumptuously smooth, meaning you can slide from fret to fret in completely effortless fashion.
