Cort A5 Ultra Ash, Etched Natural Black Overview
Premium quality. Prestigious craftsmanship. The pinnacle of excellence. The Cort A5 Ultra Ash is magnificent in every way. Showcasing a stunning natural finish, one which radiates from an ash top and mahogany body, this bass holds the key to a wondrous world of immersive sound and addictive playing experiences. It boasts Fishman Fluence Bass Soapbar pickups for an array of versatile tones - all articulate and all superbly dynamic - that beg your virtuosic sculpting. Go from classic, well-rounded tones to punchy funk sounds. You'll never be limited.
One of the most compelling features of this bass is its neck-though construction. Not only does it look striking, but this particular build also enhances sustain and makes the low end much tighter, granting you wonderful definition. The combination of mahogany, ash, maple, and panga panga then works beautifully to provide a tone that is rich and balanced, so you can perform with both resonance and clarity exuding from your fingertips. Better still, when you have Hipshot Ultralite tuners that harness a balanced, lightweight design - you can count on immaculate tuning.

An extraordinary build
It's not just ground-breaking electronics that make this bass truly heavenly, but also the neck-through construction. This meticulous design produces shimmering sustain, ensuring those high frequencies ring out with beautiful transparency and crystal-clear definition. It delivers a superbly tight low end too, for both richness and fantastic attack. Complementing the neck-through construction is a Hipshot TransTone bridge. Its string-through-body and top-load build adds a real punch whilst its brilliant stability accommodates tight string tension and balances a focused sound with even more sustain.
Divine in looks, spectacular in sound
The natural finish of the Cort A5 Ultra Ash is no teller of the trilling, fiery tonal secrets it holds. But a mahogany and ash body goes beyond undying durability and striking aesthetic. The mahogany back and sides exude wondrous warmth and resonance, whilst its ever-growing sonic potential promises you a lifetime of exquisite sound. An ash top then embellishes each note with clarity, brightness, and crisp attack.
Teaming perfectly with such a fantastic body is a maple and panga panga neck. This tonewood combination provides excellent strength that thrives with any aggressive, passionate playing. And its tonal qualities are magnificent too. The brightness of maple is balanced with the warmth of panga panga, and this tone is ideal for gigging with as it is wonderfully focused and produces minimal feedback. Panga panga is also used for the fretboard, lending itself to quick and fearless fretting techniques. It is sumptuously smooth, meaning you can slide from fret to fret in completely effortless fashion.
