Cort Guitars announced their collaboration with noted German bass manufacturer, Sandberg Guitarsto release the new Arona bass in four and five string models.
The new Arona models use a body made of either swamp ash or alder, depending on finish. The three piece, bolt-on maple neck is shaped with the Sandberg “C” shape and adorned with a rosewood fingerboard. All hardware is chrome plated, including its Sandberg designed bridge.
Cort says it is the first manufacturer to be using the new Desonic by Delano pickup system. The new Desonic pickup system will include two bar magnet pickups with 9.5mm pole slugs and custom coils designed to capture every aspect of the strings vibration. The pickups are complimented with active electronics featuring a push/pull volume control and separate balance, treble and bass controls. Features such as the graphite nut, zero fret and D’Addario EXP165 strings round up this model.
Pricing & Availability:
- MSRP for Arona 4: $795
- MSRP for Arona 5: $850
The Arona basses are now available in retailers worldwide.
