Meet the Cort Action Bass-Plus-TR Trans Red Poplar Body 2Bnd Active EQ PJ P-up — a versatile electric bass crafted to blend classic feel with modern performance. Featuring a PJ pickup layout and a two-band active preamp, this bass covers a broad tonal landscape—ranging from bus-ready rock crunch to clean jazz tones—without the need to switch instruments. The Trans Red finish over a resonant poplar body looks as striking as it sounds, while a Canadian hard maple neck delivers bright attack and rock-solid stability for expressive, reliable playing.

Dual-pickup versatility for every genre

The PJ pickup arrangement places you in control of a wide sonic palette. The P-type wind delivers authoritative low-end thump and midrange punch, ideal for hard rock riffs, rhythm comping, and chunky fingerstyle grooves. The J-type coil brings glassy highs and articulate note definition, perfect for jazz lines, pop hooks, and crisp studio textures. Blend and sculpt tones on the fly to push from heavy, driving tones to delicate, shimmering clean sounds — all from a single instrument.

2-Band Active EQ for precise, musical shaping

Dial in your sound with a 2-band active preamp that provides real boost and cut across carefully chosen frequencies, all controlled by dedicated Volume, Tone, Bass, and Treble controls. Expect a solid, focused low end and a usable high-end lift that stays musical at any stage volume. The result is a flexible tonal platform that shines on stage and in the studio, whether you need beefy rock tones or glassy, studio-ready cleans.

Ergonomic, stage-ready design

Action Series DNA is evident in the ergonomic body shape that fuses classic aesthetics with contemporary comfort. A lighter feel and balanced weight distribution reduce fatigue during long practice sessions or extended gigs, so you can stay precise and expressive from warm-up through encore. The Trans Red finish adds a bold visual statement that pairs beautifully with the bass’s timeless silhouette.

Durable hardware and a dependable neck

Reliable tuning starts with die-cast machine heads that lock in pitch and stay stable under live rigors. The Canadian hard maple neck delivers a bright, decisive attack and steadfast straightness for dependable performance across sessions. Coupled with a solid poplar body, this bass maintains solid intonation and consistent tone across the fretboard, so your touch remains the guiding compass for every note.

Tips to get the most from your Action Bass-Plus-TR

• Start with the PJ blend around a 60/40 P-to-J balance to establish a rock-friendly core, then fine-tune to taste for your track.
• Use the Bass and Treble controls to shape core character: deepen the low end for punchy rhythms, or sharpen the highs for articulate, clean lines.
• Leverage the Volume and Tone controls to craft on-the-fly dynamics during live sets or quick studio passes without touching pedals.
• Pair the bass with a versatile amp or DI setup to preserve the PJ voice—let the P pickup drive the body and let the J pickup add sparkle on top.
