- Made in Korea
- 24 cases, two Bartolini MK1-4 pickups, Bartolini 3 band preamp with on / off, solid brushed aluminum easel of very good quality that has nothing to envy BADASS. Brass nut.
- The handle is fine and nice, that's what some call a handle "highway" but be careful it's not as thin as some Fender JazzBass (especially Geddy Lee who handle the more "highway" I never tried) and also some Vigier, but in the two cases is a different price range 50% of the JB and the price was Vigier 3 Cort A4! The access is very easy to acute. It is a neck through which tended to move but finally stabilized after a few adjustments.
UTILIZATION
Question is perfect ergonomics and falls immediately in the right way! The weight is correct. She is super balanced. For audio, you must become familiar with the preamp, there are many buttons that are not appropriately placed, we try a little or is the knobs for bass, treble and midrange and even on the volume and balance. I put 9 because of the disparity of knobs.
SOUNDS
Its versatility and look him permetent absolutely all styles and sounds on any amp, c a very good bass.
I'm going to cry the purists but fiddling aves the preamp is obtained or is approached very seriously all types of sounds MusicMan, Warwick, GIBSON, All trademarks standarts .... RICKENBACKER and even looking a bit (try before going to laugh).
I read that there were problems of vibration on the handle, mine does not.
OVERALL OPINION
I played a lot on it for almost a year and I did not find fault except the satin varnish but it is a matter of taste, over this type of varnish makes the instrument susceptible and scores quickly and does not forgive any sudden even slightly, it does not scratch but leaves a mark that cut!
I have other low quality and I put it third on the podium behind my SCAMPI (maker of custom-made) and my JAZZ BASS.
Yes I do it again this choice but I could not ... because it is more like that! The new model is identical to a retail weight: the body was now completely maple mahogany table in maple, it changes the sound and weight.
Last point: if it was not marked CORT it could easily pass for a bass luthier as the finish is extraordinary and quality materials with Deco Wenger MAPLE, rosewood fingerboard. It is expensive for a "made in Korea" (between 750 and 800 euros) but with experience, it is well worth some models that are worth between 2 and 3000 euros.
With L'Artisan A4, we find that all of Artisan in CORT are not the same quality, this one is the high end.
