Cort Action Bass Plus
Overview
The Cort Action Bass Plus is a budget-friendly four-string bass that offers a surprisingly refined playing experience and versatile tone for entry-level and intermediate players. It features a poplar body with a carved top that adds visual appeal and playing comfort, a Canadian hard maple bolt-on neck with a slim C profile, and a jatoba fingerboard with 24 medium frets. The Cort Mighty Mite humbucking pickup in the bridge and the Cort Mighty Mite single-coil in the neck form a PJ-style configuration, providing a broad range of tones from fat, warm P-Bass-style thump to brighter, more defined J-Bass-style articulation. The Markbass MB-1 active two-band EQ adds useful bass and treble boost and cut, allowing players to shape their sound to match different playing styles and genres. The lightweight body and slim neck profile make the Action Bass Plus comfortable for extended practice and performance, and the 34-inch scale length maintains standard tension across all four strings. Build quality is impressive for the price, with smooth fret edges, a comfortable neck joint, and a durable finish. This bass is an ideal choice for beginners seeking a capable starter instrument or intermediate players wanting an affordable gigging bass. The budget hardware, particularly the bridge and tuning machines, may benefit from an upgrade as the player's demands increase.
