Playability? The neck plays like butter, which is the bass’ best feature, in my personal opinion. This does cause the bass to sit rather funnily on a guitar stand, and need some extra care to ensure that it’s not slanted enough to fall down. One interesting detail to mention is that the body is asymmetrical, with the bottom side of being longer. The overall shape is roundy, and falls nicely on the body. The design is almost identical with Elrick’s Gold Evolution basses, with the strings spaced at 1 3/4″ at the nut and 19mm at the bridge.Įrgonomically, I would say that the body is slightly larger than average. It is, however, bit heavier than average, but that’s nothing an average person can’t handle, and is compensated by the sturdy construction, anyway. The bolt-on neck is constructed out of two piece maple topped with a rosewood fingerboard.
The ash body felt solid, and the figured maple top coupled with a glossed finish give out a nice boutiquey look to the bass, and it does feel like one. Looks/Build Quality: Great looks on top of a sturdy construction Pros : Excellent playability, versatile, great looking figured maple topĬons : longer, larger, and heavier than average, brittle treble, weak neck PU Price : Street price US$600-700 (discontinued) Hardware : Black Hipshot tuners and EB-1 bridge Preamp : Bartolini MK1 EQ (Volume, Blend, Bass, Mid, Treble) Neck : Bolt on 2 piece maple neck with rosewood fingerboard In short, this bass provides plenty of (professional) quality at a very reasonable price tag, one of the best bang for your bucks!īody : Double cutaway Ash body with Flame Maple top Personally, I have owned this bass for about 10 years, and it it ticks all the right boxes. The Cort/Elrick RB5 is a collaboration between Korean giant guitar maker Cort with US-based bass luthier, Rob Elrick, who mostly builds high-end basses. Here, I review my first bass ever, the Cort Elrick RB5.
Hi guys! This is my first post (of many more to come, hopefully).
