Cort A5 Plus SC Amber open Pore Bass Guitar

For bassists who seek top-of-the-line professional sounds and build quality through a single cutaway body shape which improves the body-neck balance for added comfort while still providing unfettered access to the high frets. Due to popular demand, the Artisan Single-Cut basses are now available in non-multi-scale version for conventional aesthetics and playing style. The new poplar burl top not only beautifies the already great looking bass but adds well-balanced sonic characteristics in combination with ash body for a bright and punchy modern sound.

FEATURES

• Single Cutaway Bass
  - The single cutaway body shape improves the body-neck balance for added comfort while still providing unfettered access to the high frets.
  
  
• Poplar Burl Top on Ash Body
  - The strikingly figured Poplar Burl top and Ash complement each other perfectly to produce a warm yet punchy high-midrange sound that will cut through the mix with authority.
  
  
• Bartolini® MK-1 Pickups
  - The trademark Bartolini sound is preserved in the MK-1 while providing superb sound quality and value. The MK-1 delivers plenty of punchy and warm mids along with transparent and brilliant highs for a superbly balanced sound.
  
  
• Bartolini® MK-1 EQ
  - Bartolini’s renowned MK-1 preamp provides powerful yet transparent boost along with its trademark crisp high-end. The MK-1 transfers the natural liveliness of the bass through a flexible 3-band equalizer for a variety of applications ranging from studio recording to large concert halls. It also provides a switchable active/passive mode for a powerful modern active sound or an organic traditional passive sound.
  
  
• 5pcs Maple & Panga Panga Neck
  - The strength and brightness of Maple is ideally balanced with the warm midrange of Panga Panga, resulting in superb playability, feel and tonal definition.
  
  
• Neck-Thru Body Construction
  - When it comes to punch and sustain, nothing beats neck-thru-body construction. The strings vibrate across the body and neck in coherent and linear manner, maximizing the tightness of the low-end with rich mids and singing highs.
  
  
• Hipshot® Ultralite Machineheads
  - A5 Plus SC is equipped with Hipshot Ultralite Tuners (classic 20:1 tuning ratio) that is made of cast zinc with aluminum strings posts and mounting nuts, resulting in 30% weight reduction over other regular tuners and which results in improved balance and tuning accuracy.
  
  
• Panga Panga Fingerboard
  - An African hardwood, Panga Panga has characteristics of Wenge and produces a tight and coherent sound that mates extremely well with the instrument’s multi-laminate neck-thru-body construction.
