All user reviews for the Cort Action

It was my first bass and I've still got it today. I must say that choosing this bass was really a no-brainer because it is great value for the money. The PJ pickup configuration is imho the best to begin with the bass as you get the punch of a Precision Bass and the honkyness of a Jazz Bass.

I gigged a lot with it plugged in good amps and I can say that I was not ashamed of its sound. The playability is great and having 24 frets is nice at this price.

Of course, do not expect to have a boutique instrument and very clear sounding pickups - they can sound quite muddy sometimes - but it is a very good sounding bass to start with. I often recommend it to people who want to learn how to play.

The only thing I find a bit deceiving is the knobs. They're not very precise and it can be a hassle to mix and match the different configuration you want - especially the tone knob. But a lot of bass players leave everything full on so it's not a problem for them.

Channel screwed a nice micro precision and a micro Jazzbass pretty lame ...

two volumes, low passive Tone ...

USE

The handle is very good, finally, I think ...

the low ergonomics is really good for that price ...

It can get really nice sound with this bass.

SONORITS

Well, the problem is that the jazz-bass not hold, but the precision is not bad .. then suddenly we can play very very rock and soul stuff ... means for more neutral stuff, jazz genre or even slap.

Even when I put 8 because for the price it's not bad

NOTICE GLOBAL

Well, I for 3 years, I like it always ...

a, is just one Dtail, buttons always finish it by themselves and there is no bar to tighten fisse, one is forced to tinker ...

My Tone longer works ... any Manire is used primarily as micro precision is 0 or tonality background.

I think for those who want to start low, it's absolutely need to take this low, whether you Mtal punk rock funk soul. (Not ptt for jazz)

The price quality ratio dfie concurence today even more than the new price really down for 1 year.

with the experience it is obvious that I will ever be the same choice.

I put 9 because it is THE low to take to start

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

Gaucher Japanese model.
3 passive pickups.
3 settings.

UTILIZATION

My first bass.
The handle is quite nice although it is necessarily disproportionate to that of my ibanez rg470.
Too bad the microphone is passive.

SOUNDS

I was tired of hitting the bass unmotivated, so I said, hop on a buy low and we'll see.
I play mostly live on my Hoontech or when I go through my v amp.
The sound is pretty groovy especially compared to that of the rather low yamaha oriented rock.
To riffs house is excellent for the steve harris is feeble ... The big pb is the passive pickups, lots of noise, lack of clarity in the sound.

OVERALL OPINION

If I had to do it again, I buy the top model with active pickups.
This is clearly a low of study, you can have fun but when you want to do the recording own or play a bit much ....

This low-end of Indonsie is made.
It has 24 frets, a micro Precision and a Jazz.

You touver of plsu further information on the Cort website, here: http://www.cort.com/basses/action/index.html

UTILIZATION

The Channel is enjoyable, fairly late, although slippery.
Most recent internship frets are easily accessible.
The shape is classic, and reasonable weight
For cons, the sound is blah, it saturates quickly that ds RULES poorly knobs

SOUNDS

Low versatile enough, but that is not thunder trs

OVERALL OPINION

This is my first bass that I bought in June 2003. It is fun, cheap (€ 280), it allows beginners bass with a gear not too bad.
Trs good value quality at any price, I advise.

Low Made in Indonesia (that described on the handle) by Cort
Aesthetically it is beautiful finishes really correct the price pr (I colori in walnut strain I find it really trs beautiful of all, great) 280 euros new c bueno
4 strings 24 frets 3 knobs of basic home basic for beginners bass

UTILIZATION

At the handle is not much to say .... nickel compartment of "other basses I tst (Yamaha etc etc ...)... CHAC is easy to acute ... ergonomics is also nickel is slight sat down to play it just not very complicated shopper proper technique. To the sound for a low-end of a right is the mighty mite fill out their role

SOUNDS

So for audio so if you really want to go far with this bass should be the evidence or consider changing the pickups to buy a better instrument. Otherwise bin with my little cube of packed rolland effects (wah reverb flanger etc.) microphones are doing well and the sound is frankly not bad with another amp (100 watt laney no effect without it's true that it was not too) ... In terms of its fat distortion with an effect of good quality can rev quickly get something good ... We can actually play while having a lot without being ultra extraordinary ... Cort guitars down certain level is not low-level bin of Camelott

OVERALL OPINION

So I recently started using a prs year and I intend to keep it, I still use it even if I have a better instrument. What I like most is really easy to utilisaion this low. I ssay other models before deciding (Yamaha RBX really nazes) Cort Gb 34 and 35 (compare AB ben it's Bad). I tst home the Cort Artisan C4/C5 and Curbow 4 e 5 (fantastic) and if edb600 and Ibanez EDB 605 from home but my budget n'tait hlas not consistent for one of these machines but I hope to even acquire all soon. to return to the AB no I regret this purchase and if I do it again c'tait repeat this purchase TFW in this 5-string shot to test it. The report quality price compared to other basses in the same category trs is interesting, this bass is the top tip for beginners I think if on a budget of EUR 300 unless you find a better occas dabs the same price range.

4 strings, 3 pickups, 3 potentiomtres

UTILIZATION

The handle end is so enjoyable trs. well varnished, he slips in impeccable hand.
The dcroch allows Access in a good treble.
This is my Premire low, and compared to some low level of finish it more than adequate.

SOUNDS

It is well suited to play most styles of music.
This bass has allowed me to beginners in good conditions.
You have to be honest all the same. The sound lacks a bit of PCHE, the price is team of passive pickups

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months. It is red. I test before you buy a copy of Fender bass that I was not at all packaging (it was a bad copy )
Quality price ratio, I rouve beautiful because better beginners with a bass that sounds right with a quality finish almost irrprochabble weaklings and microphones, a rather low with good microphones and a trim shit that sounds not always fair.

Channel varnish for good, easy to play, look cross between jazz is the action, a micro jazz single coil along with a micro precision single-coil, 3 potetiometre (a jazz and a precision precense 1), 24 freight.
In short a nice bass.

UTILIZATION

Trs enjoyable to play, it welcomes both sweet as violent games (the slap is irrprochable), the Access in agus is easy and is trslgres.
I advise to beginners as well as confirmed.

SOUNDS

She may be flexible and look at ergonomics, but the sound, it must be said is a shit!
I play the heavy-mtal, and I board still the same low from the very beginners is only the microphones have changed, now it has the sounds of a real bass pro! but home is for beginners!

OVERALL OPINION

I ais 4 years is trs I am satisfied!, Its particularity is to be trs versatile, I board try a much MODELS autrre the era, but c'tait I loved most was its price is trs accsible, the price is good quality (except for the original pickups, I have transformed into active!), if j 'has had the choice again with the same budjet, I Chill the same!

Low original Indonesian
-3 Microphones
-3 Potentiometers, 1 for the serious one for treble and volume for a general
Rosewood-handle rather enjoyable too pais, ideal for starters, you can see the grain of wood (me it is green and it's pretty trs), the varnish is too thick for cons and Wood takes a quick head room

UTILIZATION

The handle is enjoyable nacres facillitent aprentissage work.
The last two frets are not enough space but it is not dramatic, the weight of the bass is returned and the appropriate form.
The real problem of the bass sound is neutral and rather cold trs that can be arranged by a pedal but stays away from the sound of a bass Jazzbass or higher standing in lorsquon particular needs of large son.Pour longer use it is better now in my opinion to change the pickups

SOUNDS

This bass suits all types of music as long as a rest in your room. Trs It is enjoyable to slap (it's probably a matter of freight). Suporte it well but the acute mi (the most serious of strings) and it saturates both a tube amp on a small 10 watt.

OVERALL OPINION

Finnalement gear s'avre versatile enough for beginners and the most expresses memepour if you change the pickups (which my avi is not worth it) the sound is decent for a low of study even if it has a pedal effect appears as nccessaire.Le corp is balanced at both practicality and aesthetics. This is a good model to learn on bass, and in my view is the best relative to the rest of the between gamme.Si you have other questions: eaglecorporate@hotmail.com

Made in Indonesia 24 frets 3 knobs: vol 1 tone 2, 3micros: 1aigue 1grave and a simple, round end.

UTILIZATION

The handle is very pleasant one can easily solo the fingers slide well, the last frets are accessible ergonomics is good but just a little plobleme at the bridge pickup: you touch a little too Souvant level threads: their pientures s removes rust and screws. The pickups are versatile it is easy to find good sound aurra AIM j pickups fender but we will not join for the price I pay him 249 UOOAHOUU!

SOUNDS

I play a little bit of everything but especially the hard metal and old school and it suits me very well the look is exelente armonie with ergonomics I lais black and hard! I am born not my amp but I ais the esseiy several times on a fender 100wath a lamp with speakers and jai marshall t very happy with the quality. with the neck pickup gives a rather round and its very funky and the bridge pickup gives a crystal clear sound with a few settings you get a good sound old school metal!

OVERALL OPINION

I have the last 3 months and I do not separ m j adort ergonomics facilited its use and just look, but the micro is a little trivial I count later, with the tune, pay me good microphones fender. I recommend it to every bass player that starts this bass is great and the price is very reasonable.

It is a low entry-level factory in Indonsie, 24 frets and three microphones (2 types P-Bass in the neck position and a microphone type J-Bass at the bridge), we control the volume of each micro indpendamment with 3 volume knobs. I prfr slecteur a microphone, but hey never mind.
She is damn good and the components seem solid, so a good note.

UTILIZATION

The neck is super enjoyable for its price range (good or is it on a Fender or a Musicman, but these lower the cost 5 to 10 times more expensive so we will not quibble), and limits nothing to the game thanks to 24 cases. Most recent internship boxes are a bit difficult to ACCS, at least with respect to the 23rd and 24th boxes. But hey, it's still fairly accessible.
This bass is trslgre (more than a Fender I think) so goodbye back problem and other problems, and the shape of the bass is pretty cool and original, a change from all these imitations of J-Bass at entry level. For sound, two microphones may be a bit feeble, and since it's a passive bass sometimes lacks a slap or punch in some genres (punk rock, for example <p class="bbcode-offtopic"> Off topic: <span>but who wants to play punk rock bass too ^ ^)</span> but hey the price is not the RVer, and since the finish is damn good even when we get a sound pretty good, and is more versatile thanks to both types of microphone.

SOUNDS

Trs versatile (too may be, a lack of personality), we can play with almost anything (this is a low demand when beginners with the ease of play too). I play on a Behringer BX 600 (I obviously got lucky on that SERIES Behringer for that matter) and I am very happy with the sound. This gives her a pretty common unfortunately, probably the fault of the microphones, but it's even a clear and audible, quite enjoyable. I prfre the sound through the microphone a jazz bass bottom and at least two more almost gave her a pretty round, more fun.

Update

I'm playing now with a Roland Cube 100, and with better bass technique. With practice and a good set, the sound becomes downright good on a good amp simulation (Ampeg in my case). It resumed in personality and is a very good sound for this price!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it now for 4 months and I am very satisfied with the playability is excellent, although the pickups are weak people. I have tried low after purchase to see the value of high-end, I tried a Jazz Bass and a Musicman Stingray US (yes, the diffrence is just standard, but the price too), but I'm still convinced that this is an excellent MODEL for beginners. The report is excellent qualitprix (frankly I think she could have sold 50 more expensive in nine). With exprience, j'hsiterais may be a cause of OLP Stingray MusicMan leg conquered me directly, but in this price range, I Do not hesitate.

Made of Indonsie.

24 frets - a precision micro type - a type micro Jazz Bass

2 volumes - 1 Tone gnrale

UTILIZATION

The neck is super enjoyable, fast and trs not tiring at all!
Access in acute is good (but often goes up to the 24th fret?)

The ergonomics are excellent. This balance is low and trslgre.
As for the finish (mine is blue at night), it is also excellent!

SOUNDS

Looking for a Precision Bass and Jazz Bass sometimes a little, it suits me perfectly.
It is typically in the spirit Precision Bass, a little less on the Jazz Bass pickup.

This gives a sound hoarse and hyper pchue with micro Precision and felt a more micro the Jazz.
I love the sound of mtallique Micro Precision and especially its potato! The bass is sounding and perfectly Dfine.

For slap, no problem on both pickups, this bass is made for a ...

OVERALL OPINION

It's simple, I love everything about this bass. Having had the opportunity to compare this with a Squier Precision bass special (a micro Plow and Jazz) as well as my old Jazz Bass Stagg. There's no picture of Cort is by far the best. It feels no compromise in sound unlike the other two.
It really does not seem to have a low 240 euros hands.
To go further, I located in terms of sound at a Mexican Precision Bass.

However, one who looks even better sound, he can always replace the pickups. But really, it's not ncessaire.

(Last update 16/01/2006)

APRS now more than 6 months of use, I can confirm everything I said and I would add even prcedemment I never jou much lower since I possde.
I can not get enough and I'm not prt to replace but to complter later with another type MusicMan bass or Fender Precision vritable Amricaine in config with micro Jazz +. ..

In an excellent résumé qualitprix. A superb low ...

Malaysian low.
For the rest see below.

UTILIZATION

The handle ESTT very pleasant: it glides perfectly, not too big ...
Access to treble is very good.
The shape and color (solid red varnish, or you can still see the wood) very pleasant to my taste (the exchange and its fender erzats). The weight is very good: it is light and does not damage the back! What more!
Well, it's true after watching the four cot simple mat can please ... the trouble is that the sound is also too simple tros: no real personal. Its strength in its diversity RSID (rock, metal, hip hop, reggae-dub, funk, house, disco ... you can do anything!)

SOUNDS

It's true that I'd like to sound a little rounder, who grsille less ... But for the moment is right for me greatly. Dailleurs I prefer to change the bass amp.
In addition, coupled with a multi purpose, it sounds more than adequate.
The bass is very polivalente: we can (like me) put the microphone a low base, the treble very low, pui oesciller do with the selector, to get her a little fat (it's specially ... clairt not know) or punchy, perfect for the SLPA ... dailleurs talking about the slap bass with cete ... ideal for n learn!

OVERALL OPINION

Bought new in 2003 for around 300 euros.
I've never had men complain
