Cort Action Junior Open Pore Black Bass Guitar, (Used)

The Cort Action Junior Open Pore Black is a short-scale electric bass designed as part of Cort’s Action Series, built with a compact 30-inch scale length for easier playability and reduced hand stretch. It features a poplar body with an open pore matte finish that leaves the wood grain more visible and reduces overall finish thickness, paired with a Canadian hard maple neck and a jatoba fingerboard. The instrument is constructed with a bolt-on neck joint and includes 22 frets, offering a comfortable layout for beginners and smaller players while maintaining standard bass proportions.

The electronics consist of a single Powersound soapbar-style pickup positioned near the bridge, controlled through a simple passive system with one volume and one tone control. This minimal wiring design is intended to provide a focused, consistent bass tone without complex switching options, making it suitable for straightforward performance use. The pickup configuration delivers a centred, mid-forward sound profile typical of short-scale basses in this category.

Hardware includes die-cast tuning machines for tuning stability and a fixed bridge designed for reliable intonation and sustain. The open pore finish is also intended to enhance the natural resonance of the body wood by avoiding heavier coating layers. Overall construction focuses on lightweight ergonomics and straightforward functionality, with design choices aimed at ease of use and consistent tonal output.
