Cort Elrick NJS 4 String Bass Guitar

The Cort Elrick NJS 4-String Bass Guitar is a remarkable collaboration between luthier Rob Elrick and Cort Guitars. It combines the classic J-bass style with innovative features for great playability and a professional sound. The NJS (New Jazz Standard) has a unique angled headstock and 24 frets for an extended range. Its 'heel-less' body design allows for easy playing in higher registers. The sound quality is outstanding. Voiced Tone VTB-ST single-coil pickups offer a clear, powerful sound with vintage warmth, and the Bartolini preamp provides many tone-shaping options. The construction is solid. The alder body gives a balanced tone, while the hard maple neck and fingerboard offer strength, sustain, and a punchy midrange. This bass guitar has features that improve playability and tuning stability. The MetalCraft M bridge with string-through-body design and individual string slots enhances sustain and tuning. Hipshot Ultralite tuners provide smooth action and reduce neck weight. The zero fret ensures consistent string height and no string buzzing. Overall, it's a powerful and versatile instrument, perfect for experienced bassists, aspiring players, and J-bass lovers.

Using your Cort Elrick NJS 4-String Bass Guitar is a breeze. Just sit or stand comfortably and hold the bass. Place your fingers on the frets to change the notes. To get different sounds, use the controls on the bass. The Bartolini preamp lets you shape the tone to your liking. When it comes to tuning, use the Hipshot Ultralite tuners. They're easy to turn and keep the bass in tune well. For maintenance, keep your bass clean. Use a soft cloth to wipe it after each use. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. Also, check the strings regularly. When they start to wear out, replace them with D'Addario® EXL165 strings. And if you notice any issues with the bridge or other parts, it's a good idea to take it to a professional guitar technician.
