Key Features
The epitome of excellence. The Cort A5 Beyond combines a wondrous tonewood build with innovative electronics, resulting in mesmerising sound. A multi-scale, single-cutaway design offers superb playability whilst delivering a brilliantly tight low register. And when you're armed with a beautiful neck-through construction, you can be sure that every single note will ring out with shimmering sustain and pristine clarity.
Bartolini MK-1 pickups deliver excellent, punchy mids and articulate highs that team perfectly with the focused low end. The combination of bubinga, 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, Hipshot Ultralite tuners harness a balanced, lightweight design, so you can count on immaculate tuning.

One of the first things you'll notice about this bass is its dramatic cutaway, contrasting wonderfully with the otherwise traditional and natural aesthetic. The cutaway allows you to reach those top frets without any hindrance at all. No more awkward hand positions, no more impeding strain, play effortlessly whilst every single note is projected impeccably. And to give you even more versatility and control over your sound, the multi-scale does not go amiss. It ensures the lower register is focused and astoundingly tighter.
Sound more dynamic, more exhilarating, and more fierce than you ever have before. The Cort A5 Beyond is loaded with Bartolini MK-1 pickups to ensure you can do just that. These pickups deliver punchy mids that are full of stunning sonic warmth whilst also exuding brilliantly clear highs. The MK-1 preamp provides a powerful boost and the 3-band equaliser lends itself to a range of environments. Whether you're recording in the studio or performing on stage to an awestruck audience, play with astounding definition. The electronics also include a switchable active/passive mode for either modern or traditional sonic possibilities.
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 punchiness.
Bubinga and ash... a stunning combination that radiates with a natural finish. But this brilliant tonewood duo encompasses qualities that go beyond such an astounding aesthetic. An ash body embellishes each note you play with clarity, brightness, and crisp attack whilst the bubinga top then provides richness and resonance.
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.
