Essential Information About the Cort A5 Plus SC Bass

• Single cutaway format designed for stability and smooth access to the upper frets, ideal for utilizing all 24 frets.


• Neck-through construction (5-piece maple/panga panga) for generous sustain and very consistent response across the entire neck.


• Bartolini MK-1 electronics: two MK-1 humbuckers and active MK-1 EQ to switch from a modern, sculpted sound to more subtle settings.


• Carefully crafted hardware with Hipshot Ultralite tuners, individual saddles, and included case for transport.

An Artisan Crafted for Accessible High-End

Part of the Artisan series, the A5 Plus SC follows Cort's tradition: offering serious craftsmanship and component choices focused on performance. The positioning is clear: a 5-string bass with a premium look (figured poplar top, amber finish, black hardware) and "stage-ready" equipment, featuring the modern DNA of the range (comfort, sustain, active electronics, and quality hardware).

For Which Bassist and Styles?

The Cort A5 Plus SC targets intermediate to advanced bassists seeking a versatile 5-string comfortable for fingerstyle, pick playing, slap, and technical lines thanks to its 24 frets. Its modern character is particularly suited to funk, rock, pop, metal, gospel, and fusion, while remaining capable of fitting cleanly into dense mixes thanks to the EQ and dual pickups.

Sound Characteristics

The light ash body provides defined attack and clear low-end, while the figured poplar top mainly enhances the instrument's premium character. The neck-through construction (maple/panga panga) promotes long sustain and even response, with a lively and precise feel. On the electronics side, the two Bartolini MK-1 humbuckers deliver a full, tight, and quiet sound, perfect for the deep registers of a 5-string. The Bartolini MK-1 active EQ allows quick shaping of the spectrum (bass/mid/treble according to your setting), and the EQ on/off switch is handy for switching between a processed sound and a more direct approach depending on the song or amp.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

For optimal use, plan on a good quality 6.35 mm mono jack cable, a comfortable strap (especially useful on a 5-string), and a universal bass stand for storage at home or in the studio. The case is included, ideal for protecting the bass during transport.
