JS
Awesome bass with quality issue
Johannes S. 14.02.2023
The Cort Elrick NJS 5 is an beautiful machine, where the YouTube reviews don’t lie for once.

Sound is perfect, low B beats everything up to 3K which I played so far.

The neck profile to me is awesome, the fret levelling was also great!

Soundwise it’s really versatile, no complaints there.

Why only 4 stars then?

Fret ends where ok, but not perfect (fixable in 10 minutes I you wanted to)

Neck wasn’t properly dusted before spraying

The reason I returned it: 2 dings in the neck, not large, but right where I put my thumb and annoying to feel on a brand new bass.
