Cort A5 Ultra Ash

Cort A5 Ultra Ash - 5-String Electric Bass Including Case!

This bass was designed for true bass enthusiasts – combining an ash top with a mahogany body is a fresh approach that delivers a fantastic tonal balance between powerful, rich lows and clear highs. Besides, the beautiful grain of the ash is not to be overlooked from an aesthetic standpoint. The Fishman Fluence Bass Soapbar pickup set with 2-band EQ and switchable voicings should appeal to any bassist looking for an extremely versatile bass in terms of sound.

Ash Top on Mahogany Body

The ash top on the mahogany body provides a great tonal balance between punchy, full basses and transparent highs. Additionally, the stunning wood grain of the ash is a visual highlight.

Fishman Fluence Bass Soapbar

Based on Fishman’s radically new Fluence Core technology, this electric bass pickup set delivers excellent dynamics and articulation for 4- and 5-string bassists thanks to its revolutionary multi-voice design. The 3 different sound presets offer the player a wide palette of tones to cover many different genres.

1 Volume, 1 Blend, 2-Band EQ, 3-Way Voice Control Switch

Thanks to the push/pull function of the knobs and the 3-way mini switch, the different voicings of the Fluence pickups can be accessed, making the A4 Ultra Ash bass a super-flexible workhorse.

3-Way Voice Control Switch

• Voice 1 (Passive): Classic, dense & round
• Voice 2 (Active): Full frequency spectrum & dynamics
• Voice 3 (Active with mid contour): Funky, pronounced bass and highs

The push/pull function on the volume knob allows splitting the pickups, shifting the tone towards the classic J-style sound.

Hipshot TransTone Bridge

With the string-through-body bridge, where the strings run through the body, you get a more powerful sound with increased sustain. Additionally, the higher string tension suits the 34" scale length very well.

5-Piece Maple/Panga Panga Neck

The 5-piece neck made of maple and panga panga is extremely torsion-resistant and stable, and its neck-thru-body design enhances the bass’s vibration characteristics.

Neck-Thru Construction

The neck-thru-body construction greatly improves vibration transfer and sustain. The low end is very clear, the mids have more punch, and the highs are pleasantly present.

Panga Panga Fretboard

African panga panga shares the typical characteristics of wenge and produces a dense, balanced tone that works optimally on instruments with neck-thru construction.

Hipshot Ultralite Tuners

These modern, very lightweight, and extremely precise tuners solve one of the main problems of all electric basses: the heavy weight of conventional tuners causes strong head heaviness and reduces the instrument’s responsiveness.
