Description

Cort NJS 5 String Bass Guitar with Case Overview:

A great bass has just the right blend of timeless design and modernized features. The GB Modern bass is developed for the J-Bass enthusiasts with a surprisingly lightweight design for greater comfort and enhanced playability while reducing fatigue. Also featured are top tier visual and spec enhancements such as roasted maple neck and fretboard, Hipshot Ultralite Tuners and Babicz FCH4 Bridge to reduce the weight even further, and an ultimate tone combination of Nordstrand Big Single Pickup Set paired with MarkBass MB Instrument Pre preamp system.

Alder Body
The Alder body provides a perfectly balanced tone while giving a slight boost on high mid range. It’s one of the most ideal tonewoods for solid body basses of major bass makers since the 1950’s.

Voiced Tone VTB-ST Pickups
The new Voiced Tone VTB-ST single-coil pickups perfectly complement the big robust sound of the bass with modern clarity, transparency and vintage warmth while eliminating noise with its hum canceling design.

Special Bartolini Preamp
The same specially designed Bartolini preamp that are installed on the US made original Elrick NJS basses are equipped, featuring 3-band EQ, 2-way push/pull mid select, and push / pull active bypass for a variety of tone combinations and manipulations.
