Playing his Peavey signature model

He uses his cort signature bass as his main bass.

Following the 2014 debut of the Rithimic bass, Cort and Jeff Berlin have once again put their heads together for the Rithimic V.

They didn’t just slap an extra string on it, either. The specific intent here is a passive five-string with lighter strings and a slimmer neck to help make the switch from a four- to a five-string bass a little easier.

Jeff Berlin's main bass for many years in the 1970s and early 80s was a blonde Fender Precision heavily modified by Glen Quan. You can get a pretty good look at the instrument in this video here:
