Description

The Cort Action Bass V Plus Trans Red is a confident, great sounding 5 string electric bass designed for developing players who want extra low end reach without sacrificing comfort or control. Whether you are stepping up from your first bass, joining a school jazz ensemble, laying down grooves in a church band or playing weekend gigs, this instrument offers an easy playing feel and dependable tuning stability. The vivid translucent red finish shows off the grain and brings stage presence, while the extended range unlocks fuller lines, drop free tunings and a solid low B for modern styles. It is a straightforward, reliable tool that helps you focus on the music.

Features

Extended 5-string range

The added low B string opens up a deeper register for modern pop, gospel, metal and fusion, letting you cover more repertoire without retuning. It also helps keep lines in position across the neck, so you can play comfortably while maintaining consistent tone and timing in ensemble settings.

Versatile active electronics

Dual soapbar pickups feed an active 2 band EQ, giving you quick access to punchy rock tones, warm vintage thump or bright, cutting slap sounds. With independent volume and blend on tap, you can fine tune the pickup mix and then shape bass and treble to suit the room, the band and your technique.

Comfortable, gig ready build

A contoured solid body keeps weight balanced and sits naturally whether you play standing or seated. The slim, fast maple neck and tidy fretwork support clean fretting with less effort, while die cast hardware and a solid bridge deliver tuning stability and sustain through rehearsals, lessons and shows.

Striking Trans Red finish

The translucent red gloss finish brings a classic, eye catching look that works on any stage. It highlights the wood beneath and resists day to day marks from practice and transport, so the bass keeps its smart appearance in school ensembles, function bands and regular gig use.
