Description
The Cort Action Bass Plus is a full size, four string electric bass made for players who want a confident step up from a first instrument. It suits ambitious beginners and progressing intermediates who need a reliable, great sounding bass for lessons, rehearsals and their first gigs. With a smart black finish and a comfortable, modern body shape, it delivers the feel and tones that fit rock, pop, funk and worship styles just as easily as home practice and recording. If you are building skills and want an instrument that will grow with you, this model brings versatility and value in equal measure.
What sets it apart is the combination of a contoured solid body and a fast, bolt on maple neck that feels smooth in the hand. Twenty four frets extend your range without making the instrument feel bulky, and upper fret access is easy thanks to the sculpted heel. Dual humbucking soapbar pickups provide a clear, punchy voice with plenty of definition, while the active two band EQ lets you shape bass and treble on the bass itself. Compared to typical Student 1 instruments, you get more tonal flexibility, quieter operation, better fretwork and sturdier hardware that holds setup and tuning well.
For UK tuition and school use, the straightforward control layout of volume, pickup blend, bass and treble is simple to explain in lessons and helps learners find their sound quickly. The balanced body sits comfortably whether seated or on a strap, which is ideal for longer practice sessions and ensemble work. Dependable die cast hardware copes with busy school schedules and transport, and the 34 inch scale matches standard method books, making it an easy fit for graded study and band programmes. It is a strong value choice that will serve from first rehearsals to regular gigging without demanding an immediate upgrade.
