Cort Action Bass Plus Black Električna bas gitara

Modern Bass with PJ Pickups and Active EQ

The Cort Action Bass Plus BK is a 4-string bass designed for players seeking PJ pickup flexibility and advanced EQ shaping at an accessible price. Poplar body, hard maple neck, and jatoba fingerboard offer a familiar feel. Bassists can dial in focused lows and clear highs using the active 2-band electronics. The 34" scale and 24 frets give access to the upper register for slap and lead lines.

What Makes This Bass Stand Out

Pairing Cort's PJ pickup set with a proprietary 2-band active EQ opens up a range of tonal options. The P-type pickup brings punch for rock, while the J-type single-coil adds clarity ideal for jazz and pop. Boost and cut controls target key frequencies for shaping your sound. Reducing fatigue during extended sessions is a focus with the ergonomic Action Series body shape.

Body & Build — Lightweight and Road-Ready

Thanks to its poplar body, the instrument remains lightweight and resonant, supporting comfort through long gigs. The bolt-on hard maple neck contributes a snappy attack and bright tonal foundation. Chrome hardware and die-cast tuners help ensure stable tuning throughout aggressive sets.

• Body Material: Poplar — balanced and light for stage comfort
• Construction: Bolt-on — snappy attack with bright response
• Finish: Polished gloss — sleek black surface that resists wear
• Players will appreciate the durable chrome hardware, matching both form and function for the modern stage.

Neck & Fingerboard — Fast, Smooth, Extended

The hard maple neck provides a stable, fast platform suitable for both fingerstyle and pick playing. A jatoba fingerboard feels similar to rosewood but with added density for a tighter low end. The 15.75" radius and 24 frets enable melodic and slap playing in the upper register.

• Neck Material: Hard Maple — bright, stable foundation
• Fingerboard Material: Jatoba — dense, smooth, rosewood-like feel
• Fingerboard Radius: 400 mm — modern flat profile
• Scale Length: 864 mm (34") — deep, authoritative low end
• Number of Frets: 24 — extended upper register

Electronics & Pickups — Tonal Flexibility Onboard

The PJ pickup configuration combines a split-coil P-type at the neck with a single-coil J-type at the bridge, spanning Motown thump to Jaco-style brilliance. You can sculpt your tone with the active 2-band EQ and onboard controls—no external pedals needed. The Cort EB6 bridge secures string tension reliably.

• Pickup Configuration: PJ (P-type + J-type) — covers rock, pop, jazz, funk
• Preamp Electronics: Active 2-band EQ — boost and cut for bass and treble
• Controls: Volume, Balance, Bass, Treble — full tonal sculpting onboard
• Bridge: Cort EB6(4) — stable intonation across all 24 frets

Who Should Play This Bass

This instrument is a strong choice for beginners and intermediate bassists who want a model that evolves with their skills. The PJ pickup set and active EQ suit practicing at home, rehearsing with a group, or gigging at small and mid-sized venues. Players upgrading from a passive starter bass will enjoy the expanded tonal palette active electronics provide. The 24-fret neck and ergonomic contours benefit working musicians during long performances.
