The Action Series: Cort's DNA Serving an Accessible Bass

With several decades of experience in guitar and bass manufacturing, Cort designed the Action series to offer an excellent balance between reliability, comfort, and performance. The Action DLX AS fits this philosophy: an affordable 5-string electric bass designed to meet the practical needs of musicians, with wood choices and active electronics focused on efficiency.

For Which Bassists and Styles?

This Cort Action DLX AS is especially aimed at beginner to intermediate bassists who want a 5-string that is easy to handle yet comprehensive enough to evolve in rehearsals and on stage. Thanks to the active 3-band EQ, it easily covers various genres: pop, rock, funk, gospel, contemporary music, and modern metal (with extended lows via the 5th string).

The Sound

Ash (selected here in a lightweight version) provides a dynamic response, excellent definition in the low spectrum, and a clean upper bass, ideal for exploiting a 5-string without losing clarity. The maple neck enhances clarity and attack, while the jatoba fingerboard offers a balance between precision and warmth, with a good feel under the fingers. The Powersound pickups deliver a versatile foundation, and the Markbass 3-band preamp allows fine adjustment of bass, mids, and treble: perfect for sculpting a percussive slap sound, scooping mids for modern playing, or thickening the lows for solid band support.
