  MGR/Johnny O\'Funk's review "Cort Standard Action Bass"

  Characteristics

  Utilization

  Sounds

  Overall Opinion

  I got the cort bass since i was just starting out playing and I got it in a place called rock electronics in a nice little place called Dumbarton (SCOTLAND). the reason behind buy it was that cort comes from the same factory that builds Ibanez bass guitars so it should be good quality for money and it was, there was no real point buying top of the range bass when I am just learning on it and it could get damaged. I paid around £200.
  
  
  
  I have been playing for around four years and yes you got it I still got and it is working damm good, in the 4 years it has needed no repairs or any thing done to it.It is strong too, with me it has been droped, slaped, bashed, even (i am serious when I say this[but that is a different story]) it has been burnt and shows no sign of damage. It is amazing want you\'r little brother can do with a lighter and a links spray can.
  
  
  
  It has a OK slap sound and the controls are a not that good(they don\'t show any sign of change in the volume)
  
  
  
  it is well contructed the neck is rose wood at the fret side and pine wood at thhe back and the quality for money is brillant
  
  
  
  is you are startin to play bass or want to mess around on a bass get this you will not regret it it was the same as Ibanez without the name

  ulval's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Excellent quality / price ratio"

  Characteristics

  See above.

  Utilization

  The handle is stressful pleasant, I have tried other basses in this price range and nothing to do.
  
  This bass is great for starters, it is very versatile and easy to ulitisation.
  
  This gives a good sound easily.

  Sounds

  I've done rock and metal with it and works well but it also works for other styles of music is a very versatile model.
  
  This gives her a good round easily, with a compressor is even better.

  Overall Opinion

  It is a low entry level for me the best quality / price ratio on the market.
  
  I would definitely do it again this choice

  Le-Yeti's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Cort Action: made in Korea I think, 24 frets, 2 pickups (a JazzBass in the bridge position, in a precision sleeve). Note that they give her everything is okay.
  
  For contrl, there is a volume for each pickup and a tone gnral. It provides a wide range of sound.
  
  The handle is ass off to the body, what makes it more difficult to CASC acute severe rope (even if AC is anything to go )

  Utilization

  To acute Accs not too complicated.
  
  I find the weight support during a long time: I often play several hours without stop me and I did not hurt the shoulder. The shape is placed well on the body.
  
  To find a sound that is as easy as pie: you take the neck pickup for a sound serious or bridge pickup for mediums (or 2), and the tone to give slamming. There's even a little when BMOL: buttons mics are a little too on / off: if you put them on "9" Plutt that "10" sound is half as strong. AC prevents making a serious balance-treble.

  Sounds

  I play mostly rock - hard rock, metal and punk with, and she can do everything without problem (I have a bonprampli: Behringer Bass V-amp pro).
  
  So I use a behringer prampli (when I need a distortion, if I pass by dirrect amp) and an amp Ashdown MAG C115-300
  
  The sound is quite varied: the neck pickup for rock, funk to the bridge, not to give too much strotypes ^ ^, and treble tone to inject
  
  I prefer the sound is the neck pickup tone and substance, the tab, and the question of taste, I do not like the mids out of the bridge pickup.

  Overall Opinion

  Chlo I bought (his name) on e-bay in March 2007 with prampli behringer 250 euros. Quality-price ratio 10/10!
  
  I think if I had the same level as when I bought it (level 0 ) Knowing this bass, I would do without hesitating that choice, and I intend to keep still for a while, if in the meantime I do not become a billionaire, you can always dreaming <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="" />
  
  
  
  <edit>
  
  I bought a new low in the high-end kind, but I intend to keep this all the same low (change the neck pickup and dfretter). I always advise beginners who seek a low solid and reliable.

  Laurent_0810's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Low Asian manufacturing
  
  24 cargo, 1 micro style jazz and a precision style handle

  Utilization

  Channel pleasant, easy access to acute.
  
  Low light enough anyway, probably due to its patitesse I think compared to other basses.
  
  we come to get a sound, good sound is another thing ...

  Sounds

  It is suitable for all kind of music of course if you're not too particular about the sound ...

  Overall Opinion

  I used low cete me three months and was quickly separated. I could not make it sound like I liked.
  
  what I liked most about this bass: the handle
  
  what I liked least: everything else
  
  I bought this bass on a whim (I had sold my tobias) because I wanted to get back ...
  
  with the experience I would not have made that choice.

  The Magical Flying Wille's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  See other reviews
  
  
  
  Beware of the finishes frets: glue drooled over half does not inspire confidence manche.Ca
  
  
  
  Edit post 09/04/2007: I went to the same store for a repeat test. The glue will drool over. I égallement control the instruments in two other stores and it is in order.

  Utilization

  Note: I only tested the coffee shop in a volume of 1 / 4 of a Low Down Line 6.
  
  
  
  The neck is super comfortable for the guitarist who I am. I do not have to stretch too much.
  
  
  
  In terms of access to acute I can not tell you. I prefer to use the bass for bass so for now I only play on a rope that of Mi "very" serious.
  
  
  
  The weight is excellent. I played with OLP Stingray type before which is really too heavy. No worries here.
  
  
  
  Compared with the PLO, I find that the sound is a bit skinny. I thought it was an active but not at all. I should note, however, that I did not put the volume very loud because I did not want to disturb the other musicians in the store. Setting are not easy. I knew pa fair to the low purr) wish. The slap on the other hand are good but less than slamming OLP Stingray. The PLO finally slapper almost always the same
  
  fingerstyle in simple two fingers.
  
  
  
  Edit 9/4/2007: new test: I tested the bass at a volume of 1 / 4 of an HP Hartke Silver cone this weekend. It sounded really good. The bass was easy to adjust. The sounds come out alone. I do not have to do but slap prefer finger style. I also did a test on a PLO, an Ibanez and Cort Artisan RD NB 5. Chronologically it gives, Squier P-Bass Special, New Action, Artisan 5 NB, PLO and Ibanez RD. Resulting in the P-bass Special sounded good (a very flattering). The bass action is more c. ..... e than the first, with the NB in ​​five active there is no comparison (it sounds less), The PLO is too slender compared to the Action and RD 300 is really quite the issue.
  
  
  
  I also had fun teasing the treble. Moral: ask a strap to play standing for more to lese. The strings do not curl. There was a good momentum of the bass action.

  Sounds

  I think this bass can be left in all styles of music but unable to turn the volume all the way I do not know if she purrs well.
  
  
  
  Amp; Line6 Low Down modelle Rock.
  
  
  
  Adjustments should be made on the amp, preferably
  
  
  
  Edit post 09/04/2007: a hear all sellers in Brussels say that this bass is superb for the price you want to believe it. The best way to know if it's right for you is to try it. The last vendor I've seen (a guitarist) told me he wanted to put EMG pickups which would make great bass.

  Overall Opinion

  Here are some of my ideas on different low on price and brand:
  
  
  
  215 EUR: Cort Action Bass: Good for by the seller and people. Sounds good and is cheap. We pay too much quality and name. Good bass groove to a max.
  
  
  
  329 EUR: JB Squier Vintage Modified: it's a Hype. Sellers are not hot and there prefer the Squier Standard. Critically on the forums have inlays that are printed. I do not like maple fingerboard.
  
  
  
  360 EUR: Ibanez SRX 300: beautiful low Dough Wimbish.Si genre with its active equalization it sounds better than Ibanez RD 300 I'm interested. Construction to better air
  
  
  
  550 EUR: Cort Action Bass: A beast for its price. Active / Passive. It outperforms Mex Fenders.
  
  
  
  650 EUR. Fender Mexico Standard JB: Very nice bass. The purists are soft compared to an All American JB but those with a Jazz Bass Deluxe US or JB Vintage say that American is not worth anything near. It is the eternal debate on the forums. I think it makes you want to play.
  
  
  
  850 EUR. JB Classic Fender (Mexico): Wah is really cool.Sunburst and tortoise pick guard. It sounds great. It is better to buy in Germany because it costs only 729 EUR. So if you put in more than 29 EUR for the Fender Standard JB (700 EUR) was a low thunder.
  
  
  
  If like me you're a guitarist and you do not want to ruin you to make your models, I think the New Action Bass is OK. With over budget I jump right on a Cort Artisan 4 or NB JB Classic (Mex). With all the material I have in my studio I can not (yet) allow me to take the top tout.Cette bass is a good compromise in low passive.

  Characteristics

  Utilization

  Handle very pleasant for me, not too big ^ ^
  
  access to the last fret not bad
  
  I find that ergonomic issues, Cort has been successful, cert must be better now but for the price c is more than adequate
  
  We get a little greasy and heavy sound as well as sound asse "acute" and claquand, clearer

  Sounds

  For the moment I have just about everything, this is very low polivalente
  
  against by the rub (at least for me) come from the middle rope (the largest) frieze much I do not know if it comes from the origins of string or bass or me lol
  
  j have a 65w Ibanez SW sound is good but not vrement EXCELLENT
  
  I like to have a well fat and deaf, but also a net well, slamming
  
  this bass is very versatile (I know I repeat myself: p)

  Overall Opinion

  Its going to be six months I used the d in'm happy (although of course love chnager lol j)
  
  c is a super low to begin very versatile but continued blah blah
  
  Great Value (approx 200 eur)
  
  yes I do it again this choice ^ ^

  wakiz's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  See previous reviews ...

  Utilization

  The neck of this bass is great ... In fact the only one I found is that most of Fender and Squier certain limit ... Nevertheless, it is fine and fast. Can be accessed relatively easily to acute but I think that pa ca be the determining factor for buying a bass if it was called an acute ... Level ergonomics is great. What I also very much at home is its lightness makes it very enjoyable to play on stage!
  
  
  
  As for the sound it gets super easy

  Sounds

  I play a little bit of everything (from pop to metal ...) although the beast is not necessarily fishing could have a Jazz bass type or ESP, but it retains an enormous versatility ca slap either for or Thurs fingers ... Personally I play a Fender Rumble 100 and the rendering is quite impressive especially given the price of the engine of destruction that is in the hands. Before I was playing on a Novanex 50W and made his already not bad at all ... You can really pitch pbtenir any kind of stroke that may be low but his heavy metal style Gibson Thunderbird ...

  Overall Opinion

  I bought this bass used soon 4 years ago for € 180 with a cover and the jack. This is my first bass and frankly, I'm not part with it!
  
  
  
  What I love is its lightness its versatility, its sound, its handle in short all ... the small negative c of my rope that borders a little buggers when I too ^ ^.
  
  Honestly value for money is just insane. If you are looking for a bass to start without breaking the bank or risk being disgusted with the instrument after three days, I recommend this bass. Now if you really want to start on a bass with a pickaxe handle and a body of tennis racket in hand hurts and smells of sawdust, which seems close to you let go after three notes and issuing more cracks unclean as melodious sounds then go your way: you a quality instrument at unbeatable value for money.
  
  With the experience I would do this choice with closed eyes it is simply magical ...

  kalograt's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Made in Korea (we can not go wrong is described on the back of the head) ...
  
  4 strings
  
  24 cases,
  
  Agathis body,
  
  A micro and a PB JBPowersound,
  
  Channel stocky,
  
  Rosewood,
  
  EB7 easel,
  
  Black chrome hardware (mcanisme)
  
  8 J'mets but remember that it does score 200 so we will not quibble on this point.

  Utilization

  If the handle is enjoyable?! my rponse be yes! I would add that even this low is superb play. My bass player has a Warwick Corvette Standard 4c and us the handle of the Cort is flatter, smoother. CHAC in acute is simple ... (But you often play the frets 24me ??!!!
  
  You return the slap (Aeroplane) without problem.
  
  Weight: Wait ... I'm gonna weigh it Too lightweight for a PSE person! It is frankly lgre you want an easy scene for three hours with. No worries this level l.
  
  L j'mets 10 because for a low price that the game is the comfort of nikel.

  Sounds

  To be ashamed, I am a guitarist, so at the sound, unfortunately I can not dwell on it.
  
  All I can say is that I bought an amp with 15W Behringer Thunderbird (I deprecated as it is not allowed). The sound is ch .... However I can assure you, it makes trs trs well on my models. This is mainly why I bought it. But even this level it is not worth the bass from my bass player (not the same price either) ...
  
  It may be snapping (for a good slapping), but also well rounded sound. But again, I'm not a bassist. I will ask mine to do a test and I complterai.

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for two weeks now (nonstop), I was behind in my tracks low.
  
  What I like most is the handle end and smooth allowing a game with a lot of flexibility.
  
  
  
  Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
  
  Warwick Corvette Standard 4c (at a better but less well in comfort and certainly not the same price)
  
  SQUIER Affinity P-bass (the level design is more that I like least in jouabilit it remains in its correct and, I would tell you because I did not dwell on it).
  
  
  
  The report qualitprix quality is excellent but I got to see over time. And yes the wood works.
  
  I do not have that choice would do since I have:-p but I strongly advise all beginners (like me) who wants to practice on a low cot less good quality.
