Description

Meet the Cort Elrick NJS5, a powerhouse 5-string electric bass designed to elevate your sound to new heights. Crafted with precision and passion, this instrument is an ideal choice for bassists who demand versatility and exceptional tonal quality. The Bartolini Elrick NJS Special Preamp ensures that your sound is nothing short of remarkable, providing a rich and dynamic range that can adapt to any musical style.

At the heart of this bass is an alder body, paired with a bolt-on 3-piece maple neck, offering both stability and a smooth playing experience. The maple fretboard, adorned with white perloid block inlays, not only enhances its visual appeal but also contributes to its bright and articulate tone. The scale length of 35" provides a comfortable reach and tension, while the 24 frets allow for expansive note choices.

Equipped with dual Cort Voiced Tone VBT-ST pickups and a 3-band EQ, the NJS5 gives you complete control over your sound. Tailor your tone with the intuitive volume and blend controls, and rely on the reliable MetalCraft M4 bridge and Hipshot Ultralite machine heads for consistent tuning stability. Whether you're grooving in the studio or rocking the stage, the chrome hardware adds a touch of elegance to its robust construction.

Review: Cort Elrick NJS 5 - Bass Musician Magazine, The Face of Bass

bassmusicianmagazine.com

The Cort Elrick NJS5 bass merges Cort's craftsmanship with Elrick's premium features, offering an intriguing option for bassists. Its active/passive preamp and mid-frequency selector provide tonal versatility, appealing to players who seek a range of sonic options. However, the bass comes only with a gig bag instead of a hard case, which might be a downside for musicians needing extra protection. This collaboration celebrates Elrick's 30th anniversary, not Cort's, which is a minor detail but worth noting for brand enthusiasts. Overall, it's a solid choice for those looking at quality and versatility, with a few caveats.
