Cort Elrick NJS 5 With Cort Gig Bag
£550
Aberdeen

Acebassmusic · February 24

For sale (or trade) is my Cort Elrick NJS 5 bass. The sale includes the Cort gig bag. There are some very small marks from use but easily missed and hard to photograph. The bass is as stock but I did swap the control knobs out. The original ones can be refitted and / or included in the sale (see the last photo).

The same Bartolini preamp that’s installed on the US made original Elrick NJS basses is used, with 3-band EQ, 2-way push/pull mid select, and push / pull active bypass. Hum-cancelling Voiced Tone VTB-ST pickups. Wiring diagram attached. Elrick NJS 5 Wiring.pdf

Why sell? Well, the merry-go-round of gear continues and I’ve decided I need to apply the rule as one comes in, another goes out. Not only that but I own 2 of these they’re that good. My initial idea was to defret one and get back into some fretless playing. Since then I came to my senses as I remember I’ve tried fretless several times in the past and it was not pretty!

Collection preferred from Aberdeen so you can try it out. As Aberdeen is a long way from most of civilisation, I will ship to mainland UK at cost using Parcelforce. I’ve estimated this based on a London postcode to be £20 via Express24 (without insurance)
