Features: 

Roasted Maple Neck & Fingerboard

By treating the Maple in an oxygen-free oven at a high temperature, the wood stabilizes and develops a golden-brownish look for enhanced stability as well as a more vintage type of look and a bit bolder tone. 

Swamp Ash Body

Swamp Ash is one of the most popular and widely-used woods for solid-body electric guitars and basses. It is lightweight but has a surprisingly strong, tight, and punchy sound with an emphasis on the high-midrange. This character makes Swamp Ash a beloved tonewood of discriminating bassists who want a strong fundamental tone that will cut through and be heard clearly in the mix. The natural beauty of Swamp Ash with its distinctive grain patterns makes it ideal for transparent and natural finishes.

Voiced Tone VTB-ST Pickups

The new Voiced Tone J-style single-coil pickups perfectly complement the big robust acoustic sound of the bass with modern clarity, transparency, and vintage warmth. Painstakingly developed by Cort’s engineers by drawing on decades of pickup winding experience, the Voiced Tone pickups feature the highest-grade components and winding techniques to allow the natural character of the guitar to be faithfully delivered to the amp.

1 Volume(Push/Pull) 1 Blend & 2 Band EQ

Newly added active electronics enable bassists to explore a wider range of the sound spectrum and can be either engaged or disengaged with a push/pull volume knob.

Ergonomic Neck Joint

Designed and implemented to facilitate easy access to the upper register of the fingerboard, the new Ergonomic Neck Joint increases playing comfort while reducing tendon stress and awkward wrist and finger positions. Now you can solo away and reach the highest notes with confidence as well as greatly improved playability.

Vintage Bridge 

The time-tested vintage bridge does what it is supposed to do without any frills or hassles while providing the classic tone that J-style basses are known for.
