Built for the stage and studio, the A5 Plus FMMH represents Cort's commitment to creating professional-grade instruments that perform night after night. This reference bass combines neck-thru-body construction with premium tonewoods and Bartolini electronics, providing working musicians with the reliability and sonic excellence demanded by professional applications.
The mahogany body's warm, emphasised low-midrange characteristics work in harmony with the 5-piece maple and wenge neck, creating perfectly balanced tonal coherence. A flame maple top adds visual appeal whilst contributing tonal definition, while the neck-thru construction maximises string vibration transfer across the entire instrument. This design approach results in exceptional punch and sustain, with tight low-end response, rich midrange presence, and singing high frequencies.
Bartolini MK-1 pickups preserve the manufacturer's trademark warmth whilst providing punchy mids and transparent, brilliant highs. The accompanying MK-1 EQ system offers powerful yet transparent boost capabilities through a flexible 3-band equaliser, suitable for diverse applications from studio recording to large venues. A switchable active/passive mode allows players to choose between modern active tones or traditional passive character.
Hardware specifications include string-thru-body and top-load construction that enhances tonal range and sustain, complementing the 34" scale's focused sound and tighter string tension. Hipshot Ultralite Tuners feature a classic 20:1 tuning ratio with cast zinc construction and aluminium components, reducing weight by 30% compared to standard tuners whilst improving balance and tuning accuracy.
