Cort A5 Plus SC // DEMO by Nathan Navarro

[@ObeseChess]

Cort has been stepping up like crazy over the past year or two. Great stuff.

So this bass gives me the ability to clone myself?

This, and the fanned fret version of that bass, are some really tempting instruments

[@Revengeur72]

This leg balance is one of the most beautiful things i've ever seen. Apart from your awesome playing. Great review !

[@leedodson3136]

Don’t be fooled. He had to practice that but it can be done. I got mine 2 days ago. That was if the first thing I tried, lol. It does have a better balance than the Ibanez 805SC. But I like the Ibanez neck better. They both have the MK1’s. I also like the B string better on the Ibanez. Cort makes some great instruments though. I love my GB74 GIG. Student for Life!

Nice playing I used to hate these shapes for basses but it’s growing on me

[@ronviejo4994]

agreed, I still don't like the look that much but I'm seeing other advantages that may help me get over it.

[@sammckeown909]

@@ronviejo4994 the cut out looks really advantageous for hitting the high registers versus my schecter 24 fret which I can have trouble with sometimes. I love fooling around with chords up there too

[@spanneng]

same. this looks definitely better than what I used to see on a single cut basses up until now.

Don hennly can't hurt you anymore. Great vid. I love these basses.

[@jazzbassist]

Superb demo. Thanks.

[@21DaHoagie12]

Great demo, Nathan! Looks very similar to the Ibanez SRSC805, with a lot of similar specs as well, though I kinda like this bass' look a little more. But honestly at the price they're asking I'd prefer a slightly higher quality preamp than the mk1 preamp, maybe the NTMB-F or something of that nature, that mk1 preamp is definitely the weakest point of the bass. Like I legit think it sound better in passive mode than in active mode, active just seems too scooped and twangy regardless of how you tweak it. Oh and for anyone who owns an Ibanez before production moved to indonesia, if you look at the back of your bass and the serial number starts with " C " .. guess what, made in korea by Cort! so technically I have two Cort basses already :D

[@leedodson3136]

But with the 805 the balance is not the greatest due to the pin being between the 13 & 14 fret leading to neck dive. The Cort’s pin is between the 12th & 13th fret which I’m hoping for a better balance. FYI, My serial # starts with I. Thanks for the info. 👍

How can I solve the 5 string intonation problem of this bass?

[@JBirdBobbyJ]

Sounds great!

[@RaphZuya]

Hello Nathan Navarro. I want that Bass, but, there are many videos talking about quality issues. the B string cannot be cannot be intoned. is that a production problem ? Greetings from Switzerland !!

[@JeanV1986]

Sounds amazing! What is your opinion about this versus the Marcus Miller M5 or M7?

[@weningerpianos1784]

Which EQ u use on Slap playing? Sound amazing goood !!!!

[@seewidexxx]

good good job

Do the chops come with the bass, or are they extra?

hi! have you find problems of B intonation? thanks!

[@yaaz80]

great hat, where did you buy it?

[@jesusconcristo]

Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭 Seen this video made me want to buy this Bass. Doing some research i found people complaining about tuning problems with the B string and fret sharp stuff at the hight register... What's the truth about this?

[@leedodson3136]

Tuning problems? As in tuning keys or intonation or both? Thanks!

[@jesusconcristo]

@@leedodson3136 there are couple of videos talking about this problem... i have never tested this bass so, I dont know.

[@leedodson3136]

@@jesusconcristo Thanks for the reply. Yeah I saw one video by Milko Lippe. I’ve had a few conversations with him. Anyway it’s being shipped as we speak. They said they would make sure the B string was intonated & the neck was fully adjustable. We’ll see! 👍

[@leedodson3136]

So I received the bass. The B string 12th fret is intonated. But above the 12th fret it’s buzzing and not very audible. I’m sure it could be fixed. I’m thinking about sending my back. The neck although very nice is a little to chunky for me. I’m older & have arthritis in both hands which I guess is better than carpal tunnel in both hands/wrist. 😂😂

[@madhatter7862]

Nate: how was the string spacing on this? Thinking about getting rid of my Warwick Corvette Proline and Schecter model T 5’s for a wider string spacing. Cort’s site doesn’t say. Is it 18mm?

[@gabrielkabadais]

16,5

[@madhatter7862]

@@gabrielkabadais thanks for that. Was hoping for wider.

[@gabrielkabadais]

[@Jray244]

Dang.

[@Bassplayingypsy]

Nate. Did you have any problems getting that B string intonated? I've run across about 4 of these basses and could not get the B string intonated properly. Almost like the bridge wasn't mounted far enough back, or saddle just had no more run way on bridge platform to get B string in tune at 12th or 24th frets, although B string was in tune open string.

[@Technoriety]

Are you sure you're not referring to standard fret basses, rather than multiscale?

[@bunstie5208]

I’m watching this on acid Rn. Never laughed harder

[@beezlebub6634]

This bass looks very similar to the Sound gear SRSC805

[@miltondowling]

Sure they look. Cort makes them both

[@fireemblemistrash75]

And both look like Tobias basses before they were bought by Gibson

[@basscirc]

How much does the bass weigh? Сколько весит инструмент???

[@leedodson3136]

Exactly! How much does it way. That’s the big unknown. Companies don’t like talking about the weight of their instruments. Although the same style bass does vary. A ballpark figure would be nice. Even those who do reviews, it seems to be taboo. 🤷

[@matcat8489]

can you post the tabs for the bit at the start?

Plot twist: Nathan Navarro is the shared identity of a set of bass-playing triplets: NAte, THeodore, and ANdrew. These triplets take turns appearing in each video, pretending to be one super talented bass god.

[@yigitcengil2465]

Well I guess Nate decided to run the channel all by himself now.

[@ignaciomeyerp]

really don't like humbuckers, but that's a personal preference. Great demo and beautiful bass!

[@21DaHoagie12]

they actually aren't humbuckers, bartolini MK1s are a split coil in a soap bar housing, basically two P-bass pickups

[@21DaHoagie12]

also these pickups are very limited by the mk1 preamp... here's a comparison video of mk1 pickups with the mk1 preamp and then with an Aguilar obp3 preamp kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJ_Tho1uZ9ONn9U

Wish that Cort would use standard (wider) spacing and offer more 5 string models in their other series. Currently they’re a no-go for me despite the great value and quality
