Developed in close collaboration with fusion pioneer Jeff Berlin, this extraordinary bass delivers exceptional playability, tonal versatility, and premium craftsmanship in a stunning package that stands out both visually and sonically.

Featuring an alder body topped with beautiful walnut burl, the Rithimic creates the perfect tonal foundation with excellent resonance and balanced frequency response. The hard maple neck with comfortable C-shape profile and premium rosewood fingerboard provide exceptional playability and rich harmonic content. In Jeff Berlin's own words: "After playing the same bass for so many years I was not sure that another builder could develop something that I would love. As soon as I played the very first Cort Rithimic bass, I was wowed."
