Essential Information About the Cort A5 Plus FMMH Bass

• Hipshot hardware (bridge and tuners) with through-body strings: tuning stability and dynamic response

An Artisan Crafted for Accessible High-End

The Cort A5 Plus FMMH is part of the Artisan series, designed for bassists seeking refined finish, modern playability, and top-tier components. With its flamed maple top and performance-oriented approach, it aims for a "premium" level of quality while staying true to Cort's spirit: offering a particularly competitive value for money.

Who Is This 5-String For and What Styles?

This bass targets intermediate to advanced musicians who want a versatile and reliable 5-string, suitable for both stage and studio. It excels in metal, modern rock, fusion, funk, and gospel thanks to its extended range and active electronics, while remaining very comfortable for rounder, more laid-back tones when the EQ is bypassed.

The Sound

The combination of a mahogany body + flamed maple top delivers a very musical balance: mahogany adds density in the low-mids and a sense of "substance," while maple contributes attack and definition. The neck-through construction enhances sustain and vibration continuity along the entire neck, highlighting sustained notes and melodic lines.

On the electronics side, the 2 Bartolini MK-1 humbuckers provide a clean, precise, and powerful output with excellent clarity on 5 strings. The Bartolini MK-1 active EQ allows quick sculpting of the spectrum (attack, presence, bass) to adapt to dense mixes, and the EQ on/off switch makes it easy to switch from a punchy active mode to a more direct and natural sound.
