Modern Jazz Bass Precision Meets Boutique USA Lutherie Design

Up for sale is the spectacular Cort Elrick NJS4 in classic White Gloss (WHT). Created in celebration of the 30th anniversary of world-renowned luthier Rob Elrick (Elrick Bass Guitars®), the NJS ("New Jazz Standard") is a modern reinterpretation of the classic J-bass design. Packed with high-end boutique features—including a heel-less neck joint, Bartolini active electronics, Hipshot hardware, and a zero fret—this 4-string bass delivers lightning-fast playability, punchy articulation, and effortless upper-fret access.

Key Highlights

• Rob Elrick Design: Developed in direct collaboration with master luthier Rob Elrick, offering boutique US lutherie ergonomics at an accessible price point.
• Bartolini® Elrick NJS Special Preamp: Custom active 3-band EQ system featuring a 2-way push/pull mid-frequency selector and active/passive bypass for ultimate tonal versatility.
• Voiced Tone VTB-ST Pickups: Noise-canceling single-coil pickups designed to deliver robust low-end, vintage warmth, and crystal-clear modern slap articulation without single-coil hum.
• Heel-less Asymmetrical Neck Joint: Asymmetrical 6-bolt neck joint facilitates effortless, unrestricted access to the 24th fret.
• Zero Fret & Bone Nut: Combines a genuine bone nut with a zero fret for uniform open-string tone and exceptionally low action across the entire fingerboard.
• High-End Hardware: Fitted with Hipshot® Ultralite 20:1 tuners and a heavy-mass MetalCraft M4 bridge (19mm string spacing) for bulletproof tuning stability and massive sustain.
