Cort SJB3

Low electro-acoustic Korean cargo 20 with a preamp and a piezo Fishman Classic 4 (low, mid, treble, brilliance and volume). For the price, no problems ...

The neck is super comfortable, but for access to acute can look elsewhere, the body begins at the 15th masi box from the galley is the 12th (along with an acoustic so it is a bass drum). It weighs too heavy and it is easy to install on their knees.

It is super convenient to bring around the volume and acoustics allows it to cover two acoustic guitars as long as they remain relatively wise (the mediator refrain psychopaths).
When I branch is one of Ibanez Laney HCM30B IBZ10B or with a small chorus and a little bost the grave is royal.
Pure acoustics it lacks a bit of serious (it's not the volume of a box of bass either) but it is compensated by the preamp as soon as the branch.
At first it made me curious to hear sound in pure compared to my power but I got quickly used to it and now I love it. on the other hand need not even try to slap the acoustic sound is awful, lacking also repaired as soon as the branch.
In short sound issue, it provides for a small acoustic improvised jam on the beach with some friends and as soon as you scratch the branch is paradise for the price ...

I use it for a few months, she accompanies me everywhere when traveling. What I like is the ability to play his favorite instrument around without having to bring an amp and everything. Good after it's true that it lacks sound serious but it's not as bad as the other models of acoustic bass I tried in the same price range. The value for money is excellent, it beats hands down all the other basses in the same price range and even those mid-range.
I would definitely do it again this election, this bass is great ...

- How long have you use it?
Purchased in 2000 for a vacation and be able to work without interfering with voisins.Et it works for a year, because the lower main practical.

- What is so special that you like most and least?
Assets:
Short handle, so little space in the car
a good volume for an acoustic, even with the net flat
Fishman Preamp a full quality, just missing a phase inverter to avoid feedback.

Cons:
Case origin like "canvas bag" hyper tension on the bass, no possibility of finding a suitable cover, so it "swims" in its cover Warwick.
Originally, the string passages were too narrow obligation to rework to move the nets largest diameter dishes.

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Before, no, the only interest was its price and size ... And then, surprise!
After, yes, for its price and size, it has everything a large, well above the Fender to be easy, or Ibanez, except for its high-end Takamine B10, or bass drums.

- How would you rate the quality / price?
Excellent.

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Yes, but with experience, I am looking for something more "bass" so I fell for an electro acoustic Fretless FEB ARIA ...
It is going to duplicate, and I still thinking about resale, always from the perspective of vacation, but it starts to do a lot ...

- How long have you use it?
I use this bass for about a year and a half. I bought € 249 without cover or cable or strap (only for short).

- What is so special that you like most and least?
The short scale is effectivelemtn practice to put in the car, but it is sometimes a problem for me to go directly to one of the lowest electric quiu has a longer pitch. I like the ease of use and the preamp settings. And I like the look too!
I had two small problems with. The ropes that border, I found a little bridge with a small stick and it gets better, I feel that the original string is a little too close to the sleeves (on the one I anyway). The second is the button in the box to attach the strap that is poorly glued and shot that goes quite easily. It does me no problem when I play but have to be careful fe when I put it off or when I, when she fell because of that but she is still alive.

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
No, a small budjet and not a lot of acoustic shop in Strasbourg at the time.

- How would you rate the quality / price?
well, not very powerful electro-acoustic is a not a big problem. Overall the sound is all completely coreect. This is the first bass I bought to put me on bass without attracting the wrath of my neighbors (it works). For a beginner no problem for someone more experienced I think it's a fair bit.

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
I do not know because of the short scale, but I always play it with pleasure.
