Now for its 30th anniversary year, Elrick Bass Guitars® has partnered again with Cort® to release the new Cort® Elrick NJS basses. The NJS, short for New Jazz Standard, are modern j-bass styled basses with unique features such as angled headstock and 24 frets with zero fret, a “heel-less” body design with extended treble access, and Voiced Tone VTB-ST pickups with Bartolini® preamp. Loved by many aspiring and experienced bass players alike throughout the years, the innovative design and superb playability of the NJS basses is sure to satisfy high-end bass aficionados.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Alder body provides a perfectly balanced tone while giving a slight boost on high mid range. It's one of the most ideal tonewoods for solid body basses of major bass makers since the 1950's.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe new Voiced Tone VTB-ST single-coil pickups perfectly complement the big robust sound of the bass with modern clarity, transparency and vintage warmth while eliminating noise with its hum canceling design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe same specially designed Bartolini® preamp that are installed on the US made original Elrick NJS basses are equipped, featuring 3-band EQ, 2-way push\/pull mid select, and push \/ pull active bypass for a variety of tone combinations and manipulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe solid, high-mass MetalCraft M bridge was developed with more focus on ease-of-use and greater tone transfer. Specially adjusted for Elrick NJS, the bridge offers string loading from the back of the bridge for easier operation as well as greater tuning stability and focused sound. Another big improvement for the tone transfer is the deep individual slots that hold the saddles rock-tight, preventing any unwanted movement and allows string vibrations to correctly transfer to the body. MetalCraft M4 and M5 now come with string spacing of 19㎜(0.750”) for the 4-string M4, and 18㎜(0.708”) for the 5-string M5.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstruction Bolt-On\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBody Material Alder\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTop Material None\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScale Length 34″ (864mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeck Material Hard Maple 3-ply Laminated\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeck Shape Elrick Custom Profile\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeck Thickness 1F : 21.8mm, 12F : 22.5mm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFingerboard Material Hard Maple 3-ply Laminated\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFingerboard Radius 12″ (R305)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNumber of Frets 24 Frets\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFret Type Small (2.0×1.1), Nickel Silver\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInlay White Pearloid Block with Black Side Dots\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNut Material Bone\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNut Width 1 21\/32″ (42mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTruss Rod Two-way Adjustable\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTuning Machines Hipshot® Ultralite\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBridge Metal Craft M4 (String spacing : 19mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePickups Voiced Tone VTB-ST 4-String Pickup Set\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElectronics Bartolini® Elrick NJS Special Preamp\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eControls 1-Volume, 1-Blend, 3-Band EQ\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHardware Chrome\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStrings D'Addario® EXL165 (.045 .065 .085 .105)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeck Finish Matte\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBody Finish Gloss\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccessories Deluxe Soft-Side Case Included\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cort","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67241855942905,"sku":"92220261012","price":999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1099\/9434\/files\/medium_d42ce164-55a3-4666-8005-c8c4055149bc.jpg?v=1790627360","url":"https:\/\/specialtytraders.com\/products\/cort-elrick-njs-4-string-bass-black-bag-njs4bk-8042","provider":"Specialty Traders","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
