The Cort RITHIMCV 5-string bass guitar is engineered for players who demand bold tone, precise playability, and standout style. Finished in Natural Glossy, this bass teams premium electronics with meticulously chosen woods to deliver a voice that cuts through any mix.

Why this bass stands out

Built around an Alder body with Walnut Burl Top, it balances warmth and bite while offering a visually striking grain that shines on stage or in the studio. The 5-string layout expands your range to drop tunings without sacrificing clarity in the mid and upper registers, making it ideal for funk, rock, fusion, and modern metal riffs.

High-definition tone and response

At the heart of the RITHIMCV are the Bartolini Jeff Berlin Custom Soapbar Pickups. These pickups deliver punchy, articulate mids with a dynamic high end, giving you a versatile palette from tight, percussive funk to soaring, expressive solos. The result is a modern bass voice that remains musical and responsive across genres.

Precision hardware for reliability and sustain

The Babicz FCH5 Gold Bridge provides full-contact coupling and precise intonation adjustment, helping you locks in perfect intonation and sustain for every note. Paired with Hipshot Ultralite Machineheads, you get lightweight, smooth tuning stability that stays rock-solid on lively stages and in long recording sessions.

What makes it practical for real players

Whether you’re laying down thick grooves in a funk pocket, delivering tight chugging lines in a metal track, or laying down clean, articulate bass lines in fusion sessions, the Cort RITHIMCV is built to respond to your touch. The combination of high-quality pickups, a resonant body, and top-tier hardware means you spend less time fighting the instrument and more time creating.

Who this is for

• Players who need extended-range capability without compromising articulation in the upper frets.
• Musicians seeking a stage-ready instrument with premium electronics and durable hardware.

Care and setup tips

• Regularly check intonation with the Babicz bridge to keep every note in tune across the fretboard.
• Fine-tune the pickup heights to balance output and string clarity depending on your playing style.
