Cort Persona 5 BLRB Blue Resin Burl 5 String Bass Guitar with Gig Bag

Cort Persona 5 BLRB Blue Resin Burl 5 String Bass Guitar with Gig Bag

In response to demands for a smaller body electric bass guitar, the Persona 5 bass is developed. Its unique body and headstock shape has never been used by Cort before, and the stylish curves are smooth and elegant looking while keeping the body as ergonomic as possible. For Persona 5 Blue Resin Burl, a special epoxy resin is added to the top-tier poplar burl top to create that magnificent “desert oasis” effect. The process to build a resin top is so unique that only an extremely few number of Persona 5 Blue Resin Burl will be built, and each bass guitar will look different.

Persona 5 Blue Resin Burl

Features

Poplar Burl Resin Top on Alder Body
We begin with a top-tier burled poplar wood and apply special mixture of epoxy resin that turns opaque when cured; creating a visual illusion that resembles “an oasis in the desert”. The unique process to build resin top enables each top to look different from each other. Besides the magnificent visuals, the combination of poplar top on alder body produces a strong, clear and full-bodied sound with thicker mids and cleaner lows.

5 pcs Roasted Hard Maple & Panga Panga Neck
By treating the maple in an oxygen-free oven at a high temperature, the wood stabilizes and develops a golden-brownish look for enhanced stability as well as a more vintage type of look and a big bolder tone. Addition of Panga Panga reinforces the stability.

Macassar Ebony Fingerboard
An ideal wood for high-gain applications, Macassar Ebony provides a cutting high-end to get your playing heard through the dense mix as well as fast and smooth playability.

Bartolini MK-1 Pickups
The trademark Bartolini sound is preserved in the MK-1 while providing superb sound quality and value. The MK-1 delivers plenty of punchy and warm mids along with transparent and brilliant highs for a superbly balanced sound.

Bartolini HR-5.4 AP Preamp System
Bartolini HR-5.4 AP Preamp System is comprised of 1 Volume (push/pull for active/passive), 1 Blend, 3-band EQ, and 3-way mid frequency toggle switch that can set the mid frequency to 250Hz, 500Hz, or quickly flip to 800Hz for a solo. The HR-5.4 AP system also uses their most popular preamp NTMB+F, which is a 3-band tone control preamp with fully independent Bass, Mid and Treble controls. It is well known for low noise and wide boost and cut range for aggressive control with voice that is clear, transparent, and strong.

Hipshot UltraLite Tuners
The Artisan basses are equipped with Hipshot Ultralite Tuners (classic 20:1 tuning ratio) that is made of cast zinc with aluminum strings posts and mounting nuts, resulting in 30% weight reduction over other regular tuners and which results in improved balance and tuning accuracy.

Enhanced Contour
Specially designed for Persona 5, the back contour has been noticeably enhanced for better ergonomics.
