Cort Action Bass Deluxe AS 5 String Electric Bass Open Pore Natural

Affordable yet crafted with quality materials and components, the Action Series basses offer exceptional value for aspiring bass players. With versatile pickup options including PJ, JJ, and soapbar configurations, along with active EQ electronics, these basses are designed to meet a variety of musical needs.

The Action DLX V AS model features the Markbass MB-1 EQ, delivering a natural and transparent boost that preserves the organic resonance of the instrument's woods. This combination of crystal-clear clarity and natural warmth produces a sound that feels passive, with smooth lows, full-bodied mids, and bell-like highs.

The Markbass MB-1 EQ provides a very natural and transparent boost that does not colour the organic nature or resonance of the instrument’s woods. The crystal clarity and natural warmth combined exude a passive feel with smooth lows, full-bodied mids, and bell-like highs. The Markbass 3-Band EQ brings out the best acoustic nature of the bass instrument.

Developed with tonal flexibility in mind, the PDX soapbar pickups deliver a strong fundamental low-end that is ideal for classic and traditional bass sounds. The front pickup exhibits a firm midrange ideal for fingerpicking classic rock sounds while the rear pickup provides more power and focus for aggressive music as well as for slapping with greater force than J-type pickups.

A livelier and more resonant wood than poplar, swamp ash is characterized by a scooped-mids sound with a bigger low-end and clear highs for a more balanced tone. The open-pore finish enhances the resonance even further and the wood’s natural light weight and good-looking grain patterns are other positives of swamp ash. An ideal match for the Markbass 3-Band EQ system.

Found only on the Action Series basses, the ergonomic body shape, which fuses the best elements of classic and modern designs, was designed to reduce fatigue and enhance playability for extended playing sessions.
