Cort Elrick NJS5 - 35” scale 24 Fret Active Jazz Bass with custom Bartolini preamp & Cort branded gigbag - Reduced to £550 inc U.K delivery 

 

For sale is my almost new black Cort Elrick NJS5 24 fret jazz bass. I paid almost a grand for this in June and it’s still in almost as new condition - I have probably played 10-15 gigs with it, so there is some very light swirling on the pickguard, so it’s not absolutely ‘as new’ but it’s near as you’ll get, and it’s priced very competitively - I’m taking quite a hit, and as far as 5 string jazz basses go I can’t see anything close to this for this sort of money 

 

It’s absolutely lovely to play - the neck heel is wonderful comfortable, it’s got a super fast neck and it’s really difficult to get a bad sound from it - it has a custom Bartolini preamp that is only put in these basses and in the Elrick handmade NJS basses (exact same preamp in both), it has bass & treble cut/boost, and the mids are push/pull switchable between 400hz/800hz cut & boost

 

This bass sounds absolutely fantastic live - I’ve used it on 80’s gigs, rock gigs and all the function stuff inbetween and it just does what you want, the B and all the notes under low E are really clear and defined, and even with the preamp flat it gives you a beautiful tone 

 

I am gutted to be selling it and would absolutely love to keep it, but I have two active 5 string jazzes, well as a Yamaha TRB1005 and I’ve put  a deposit on something expensive and need to get it cleared! 
 

I have played A LOT of Jazz 5’s and this is absolutely one of the best, however my other jazz 5 is the best I’ve played and I need to pay off my next purchase

 

Trades? I need the cash really, BUT I do need a P Bass, I’ve been looking at things like the MIJ Fender reissues, and could potentially put cash in for the right one (even tho it’ll leave me in a worse position than I am now with the bass I’m buying! 😆 But it’ll save me buying a PBass next month!) 

 

Delivery within the U.K. is included in the price, it comes in a really high quality padded, embroidered Cort branded gig bag and I’ll package it up well for the journey - I’ve posted loads of basses before without issue

 

Reduced to £550

These are superb basses. I've played this one of Paddy's and I set it up and I was hugely impressed with it.

I also played a white NJS5 belonging to another basschatter, waynesworld, who lives close by. 

I actually agreed to buy Wayne's bass before this one of Paddy's went up for sale but I would have bought either. 

I used mine at band practice this evening and one of the things that really stood out for me was how even the output is across all five strings. My Lakland 55-02 and Sterling Ray35 have been a bit guilty of the D and G getting buried a bit in a live mix but the Cort was fantastic in this respect with every note being clearly heard. 

Paddy's a great seller too. Buy with total confidence.

Reduced to £550 which including delivery is really £500, which is less than half of what you’ll pay new for one of these, and this is all but new
