Cort A5 Ultra Ash Bass Guitar – Etched Natural Black (w/ Case)

Description

The A5 Ultra Ash is a modern, professional-grade 5-string bass built for players who demand clarity, stability, and tonal authority across the entire fretboard. Featuring a neck-thru construction with premium tonewoods and Fishman® Fluence electronics, it delivers exceptional sustain, tight low-end response, and studio-ready versatility.

With its White Ash top, mahogany body, and ultra-stable multi-ply neck, the A5 Ultra Ash balances punch and warmth while maintaining a fast, comfortable feel.
