Cort A5 Beyond Open Pore Bubinga Natural 5-String Electric Bass Guitar with Case

General

Gifted with boutique-grade features and the extra depth of a five-string range, the Cort A5 Beyond might be the ultimate modern single-cut, solid bodied bass out there. For a start, the panga panga fretboard has been kitted out with a set of twenty-four fanned frets, which already supply a mind-bending level of playability, and while the bubinga top is undeniably stunning, this Cort offering packs way more than just looks. The compound fretboard radius graduates from 34 inches at the headstock to 35.5 inches at the body to provide every one of the five strings precisely the right amount of tension, and the seamless through-body construction, five-piece panga panga and maple neck and natural profile give this bass an ultra-deluxe feel.

The Cort A5 Beyond: Unlimited

Everything has been artfully rounded off where the neck meets the body to grant smooth and unhindered fret access, and since the two maple body wings are firmly set-in, the foundation is incredibly stable, resonant and rich with sustain. The string-through-body setup also helps. Fitted with a Bartolini MK-1 preamp and a pair of matching Soap-Bar pickups, this bass spits a full arsenal of passive as well as active sounds, and to ensure near-flawless tuning, Cort have equipped a set of Hipshot Ultralite machine heads and a five-saddle Individual Hardtail bridge.
