A5-Plus-FMMH-OPBC Artisan Series 5-string Bass Guitar, red, Cort

The A5 Plus FMMH is the reference Cort bass designed and built for the working musician who requires excellent performance and rock-steady reliability gig after gig. Featuring neck-thru-body construction, premium tone woods, and Bartolini pickups and electronics, the A5 Plus FMMH delivers the sound and playability a working pro needs.

Neck-Thru Body Construction.
When it comes to punching power and sustain, nothing beats a through-the-neck. The strings vibrate along the entire body and neck, maximizing the bass density, along with rich midrange and melodious highs.

Bartolini MK-1 Pickups.
The trademark Bartolini sound is preserved in the MK-1 while providing superb sound quality and value. The MK-1 delivers plenty of punchy and warm mids along with transparent and brilliant highs for a superbly balanced sound.

Bartolini MK-1 EQ Preamp.
Bartolini’s renowned MK-1 preamp provides powerful yet transparent boost along with its trademark crisp high-end. The MK-1 transfers the natural liveliness of the bass through a flexible 3-band equalizer for a variety of applications ranging from studio recording to large concert halls. It also provides a switchable active/passive mode for a powerful modern active sound or an organic traditional passive sound.

Mahogany Body with Figured Maple Top.
Mahogany’s warm and emphasized low-midrange is complemented by the high-midrange and treble of 5-piece Maple & Wenge neck for a perfectly balanced and coherent sound. The Flame Maple top on the body adds a high-class upgraded look and a touch of tonal definition.

5pcs Maple and Wenge Neck.
The power and brightness of maple is perfectly balanced by the warmth of the wenge midrange, creating an excellent clear sound with excellent playability.

Hipshot TransTone Bridge.
The string-thru-body and top-load construction facilitates greater tonal range while adding punch and enhancing sustain, perfectly complementing the longer 34” scale’s tighter string tension and focused sound.

Hipshot Ultralight Tuners.
The Artisan basses are equipped with Hipshot Ultralite Tuners (classic 20:1 tuning ratio) that is made of cast zinc with aluminum strings posts and mounting nuts, resulting in 30% weight reduction over other regular tuners and which results in improved balance and tuning accuracy.
