Well, it's a Korean Cort, but the finish is quite good, and everything is solid. There are 24 frets, all super-accessible (even acute). The sound is adjusted correctly, there are four knobs, and pickups are adequate without being revolutionary (even fully) to make a very good sound (after, it also depends on the amp). The neck is thin, the strings are closer together but this is not very annoying (unlike ...). In short, hardware issue, that's great for anyone who starts, I think (I do, I like it, then it is a sufficient criterion). Maybe a professional would find fault, but I put 10, because in addition, it has a beautiful color, dark red, so simple ...

UTILIZATION

Uh, for sound, I find it very well, but again, I think it depends on the amp. I have a Behringer BX 1200, and I have no problem, no sizzle, no spin, but some Feedback not his fault ...
Weight, ah, weight, yes, it's heavy bass, but that's how they are all heavy! What is it that keeps it under control and is well balanced. Ergonomics are good, say, classic. The handle is very nice, no problem.

SOUNDS

Well, I started when her issue I'm not very demanding, say that I have my sound, not yet, but I'm working. I feel we can play everything from jazz (that's what I do), but also rock, metal I guess, and short, I'd rather not say anything. For me it is perfect. I have a way with Ibanez, who had probably cost more, and frankly, it's disappointing! I prefer the sound of my own.
I play without effects. The amp is a Behringer BX 1200 and like I said when playing in groups, it provides!

OVERALL OPINION

I bought six months ago (via this site also ...) but I could not bring myself seriously for two months. I like his aesthetic (you can do without, but better to take a bass that you like it!) And the color of his sound. The value is incomparable: it's good (even great) stuff (I made several low budget and several teachers of low and was elected handily) and price (400 €) is small compared to its equivalent in other brands. I would do this choice, without hesitation half a second! Of course, if you can afford to pay you a warwick, well do it ...
