Twenty years ago, Cort® collaborated with the world-famous luthier Rob Elrick of Elrick Bass Guitars® to create a Cort® version of the ‘Elrick e-volution Bass’. It quickly became a hit among dedicated bass players. Now, on its 30th anniversary, Elrick Bass Guitars® has joined hands with Cort® once more to launch the new Cort® Elrick NJS basses. The NJS, which stands for New Jazz Standard, are modern J-bass styled bass guitars with amazing features. They have an angled headstock, 24 frets with a zero fret, a ‘heel-less’ body design for easy access to the treble notes, and Voiced Tone VTB-ST pickups paired with a Bartolini® preamp. Over the years, these basses have been adored by both aspiring and experienced bassists. Their innovative design and excellent playability are bound to impress high-end bass enthusiasts.
