Cort built the C5-Plus-ZBMH-OTAB as part of its Artisan Series, positioning it as a high-specification five-string electric bass aimed at the serious player seeking boutique-grade materials and components at a competitive tier within the line.
The instrument pairs a Mahogany (Palaquium) body with a Zebrawood and Maple top, joined by a bolt-on Canadian Hard Maple neck. The Jatoba fretboard runs 24 frets across a 864mm (34") scale, marked with white dot inlays. Pickup duties fall to Bartolini MK-1 pickups, with onboard tone shaping handled by a Markbass MB-1 EQ. Hardware throughout is finished in black, including die-cast tuners and the EB12 (5) bridge.
Owners sourcing replacement hardware or setting up the instrument should consult a qualified luthier or guitar technician familiar with five-string bass specifications, particularly when matching the EB12 (5) bridge or sourcing Bartolini MK-1 compatible electronics.
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.
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.
