For over 40 years, COR-TEC has been one of the world’s largest and most renowned guitar manufacturers. Through its own brand, CORT, the company offers expertly crafted guitars with outstanding sound at a highly accessible price point. Their extensive and attractive range—encompassing acoustic, classical, electric, and bass guitars, as well as amplifiers—is popular with musicians across the globe, not only for the aforementioned qualities but also for its exceptionally robust and durable construction.
The Cort Artisan A5 Ultra Ash was designed with true bass enthusiasts in mind. Combining a swamp ash top with a mahogany body—a fresh approach—delivers a superb tonal balance, blending punchy, rich lows with clear, transparent highs. Furthermore, the striking wood grain of the swamp ash, complemented by an open-pore, three-dimensional finish, gives the instrument a modern, vibrant aesthetic. Equipped with a set of Fishman Fluence Bass Soapbar pickups—featuring a 2-band EQ and switchable voicings—this bass is sure to impress any player seeking extreme sonic versatility, capable of delivering a wide spectrum of modern tones ranging from rock to metal. The Artisan A5 Ultra Ash also boasts premium features, including Hipshot tuners and bridge, as well as a neck-through-body construction.
