2013 Cort Action DLX Bass – Faded Grey Quilt – Active Excellent Condition

The Cort Action DLX has long been regarded as one of the best-value basses on the market, offering impressive build quality, modern styling and dependable performance well beyond its price point. This 2013 example, finished in the striking Faded Grey Quilt, is an excellent example of why these instruments have become favourites with beginners and experienced players alike.

Built with a lightweight poplar body topped with an eye-catching figured maple veneer, the Action DLX offers excellent comfort for long rehearsals and live performances. The hard maple neck and jatoba fingerboard provide a smooth, fast playing experience, while the ergonomic double-cutaway design ensures effortless access across the full register of the instrument.

Tonally, it sits firmly in that versatile sweet spot. The Powersound P and J pickup configuration, combined with Cort's active 2-band EQ, delivers a wide range of usable sounds. The split-coil neck pickup produces warm, rounded lows with plenty of punch, while the bridge single-coil adds definition, growl and clarity. Blended together, they offer excellent balance with clear, articulate mids, a tight and controlled low end, and enough presence to cut through even the busiest mix. Whether you're laying down solid pocket grooves, recording direct or exploring more dynamic playing styles, the Action DLX remains responsive, consistent and remarkably capable.

This bass is presented in excellent condition with virtually no fret wear. There are only minimal signs of previous ownership, including light tarnishing to some of the hardware and a few gentle surface swirls to the finish, none of which detract from its appearance or performance.

Our workshop has carried out a full professional inspection and setup, ensuring the bass plays beautifully and is ready for its next owner.
