A Collaboration Designed for Playability: The Elrick Legacy at Cort
The NJS 4 continues the collaboration between Cort and luthier Rob Elrick (Elrick Bass Guitars), which began about twenty years ago with a Cort version of the "Elrick e-volution Bass." Relaunched for the 30th anniversary of Elrick Bass Guitars, the Cort Elrick NJS series emphasizes modern design, refined ergonomics, and "high-end" playability while remaining accessible to progressing bassists as well as experienced musicians.
For Whom and Which Styles?
Versatile and expressive, the Cort Elrick NJS 4 suits both the serious beginner bassist seeking a reliable and evolving instrument, and the intermediate/advanced level player focused on rehearsals, studio, or stage. Its "Jazz" configuration and active EQ make it very comfortable in funk, jazz, fusion, pop, rock, and gospel, with clear articulation for fingerstyle, pick, and slap playing.
The Sound
The alder body provides a natural balance between round lows, present mids, and clear highs, while the maple (neck and fingerboard) enhances attack and precision, particularly appreciated on a 34" / 864 mm scale length. The two Jazz VTB-ST style pickups allow switching from a warm, full neck sound to a tighter, punchier bridge tone, or blending both for a classic, defined, and dynamic grain. The Bartolini US custom 3-band preamp adds real adaptability: you can quickly shape the lows for foundation, the mids to cut through the mix, and the highs for brightness. The presence of a zero fret contributes to consistent attack and good uniformity between open strings and fretted notes.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To maintain the original feel and response, opt for 4-string long scale electric bass strings (34" / 864 mm scale), ideally in the spirit of the factory set D'Addario XL 165.
