Cort A4 Plus FMMH OPN Artisan Series – Open Pore Natural
 
This is one of those sleeper basses that makes you question why anyone spends double. The Cort A4 Plus FMMH in Open Pore Natural is clean, modern, and built like it actually wants to be played — not just hung on a wall.
 
The figured maple top over a mahogany body gives it that perfect balance: clarity and snap up top with warmth and punch underneath. The open pore finish lets the wood breathe and resonate, and it feels incredible in your hands — no thick plastic gloss, just natural wood vibe. It looks organic. It sounds focused. It means business.
 
Loaded with Bartolini pickups, this thing delivers tight lows, articulate mids, and a clear top end that sits perfectly in a mix. Whether you’re holding down clean pocket grooves or pushing into more aggressive territory, it responds fast and stays defined.
 
The active/passive switching makes it ridiculously versatile. Run it active and shape your tone with onboard EQ for modern punch and precision. Flip it to passive and you’ve got a more traditional, organic voice that still cuts. It’s like having two basses in one — and both are legit.
 
Hipshot tuners keep everything rock solid and balanced. No neck dive, no drama. Just stable tuning and smooth adjustment. The neck plays fast and comfortable with great upper fret access, making it equally at home on stage, in the studio, or in your practice room at 1am when you’re pretending you’re on tour.
 
Condition is excellent overall. It’s been well cared for and shows minimal signs of use. Includes a gig bag for safe transport.
 
If you’re looking for a modern, versatile 4-string that punches way above its price point, this Artisan Series A4 Plus is ready to get to work.
