Description

Cort built the Action Bass Plus as part of its Action Series, positioning the line as an entry-level to mid-range offering aimed at developing bass players who required versatile electronics without a prohibitive cost. Within the series, the Action Bass Plus was distinguished by its PJ pickup configuration — a combination of a P-type and a J-type pickup — alongside an active EQ, setting it above the more basic models in the range.

The body is poplar, joined to a Canadian Hard Maple neck via a bolt-on construction. The jatoba fretboard runs 24 frets at a 400mm (15.75") radius over a 864mm (34") scale, with white dot inlays marking positions. The pickups are a PSEB4-4 at the neck and a PSEB1-4 at the bridge, wired through a 2-band active EQ that allows independent shaping of low and high frequencies. Hardware throughout is chrome, including die-cast tuners and the EB6 (4) bridge. A left-handed version of this model was produced. The Trans Red finish is a translucent red applied to the poplar body.

Owners sourcing replacement parts — particularly the EB6 bridge, jatoba fretboard components, or pickup housings for the PJ configuration — should consult a qualified guitar technician or luthier who can cross-reference current aftermarket equivalents to the original hardware specifications.

Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.

The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.

What do you know about this one?

Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
