Description

Cort built the Action DLX V Plus as part of the Action Series, a line positioned to deliver quality materials and components at an accessible point in the bass market. The five-string configuration placed it among the more versatile offerings in the series, which also encompassed PJ, JJ, and soapbar pickup variants.

The bass is constructed with a poplar body capped by a quilted maple top, joined to a Canadian hard maple neck via a bolt-on connection. The jatoba fretboard runs a 400 mm (15.75") radius across 24 frets, dressed with white dot inlays. Hardware throughout is chrome, including die-cast tuners and the EB6 (5) bridge. PDX-5 pickups feed into the Markbass MB-1 EQ, an active preamp circuit described as providing a natural, transparent boost intended to preserve the acoustic character of the instrument's woods.

Owners sourcing replacement parts — including bridge saddles compatible with the EB6 (5) platform, jatoba fretboard supplies, or PDX-5 pickup substitutes — should consult a qualified guitar technician or luthier for fitting and setup guidance.

From the people who own them

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.

Put yours on the record.

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.
