Bring the “Bite” control up and get wide open Plexi sounds.

At just shy of a grand, the Rithimic is not in the price range some may associate with Cort instruments, but when you consider the build, pickups, and hardware, it’s deserving of a good look. The setup out of the case needed no adjustments. With help from the alder body, its passive pickups deliver warmth and punch with excellent clarity in the lows and mids that will work for a variety of styles. Featuring high quality materials and components with the great attention-to-detail workmanship that Cort is known for, the KX100 rocks hard without breaking your budget. Versatile is an over-used descriptor, but the easy-playing Rithimic is just that. The new KX100 is the entry-level model of the popular KX Series, extending the line to offer the benefits of the KX to a wider range of players. It draws inspiration from a J with its body shape and thin neck, and it’s packed with a component set that includes an FCH-4 Babicz full-contact bridge, Hipshot Ultralight tuners, and Bartolini Jeff Berlin humbucking soapbar pups. Boasting an alder body adorned with an artistic veneer of spalted maple and padouk, Cort’s new Rithimic bass is visually striking, yet tasteful. Jeff Berlin is a contemporary master of the electric bass, so it’s not likely he’d lend his name to an instrument that can’t perform.
