All user reviews for the Cort Action

Korean manufacturing, agathis body, black lacquer finish, maple bolt-on neck, rosewood fingerboard with 24 frets, EMG pickups Select by jazz and precision.
volume, balance, an acute and severe.
Weight: 3.7 kg

UTILIZATION

Handle very thin in the bass and not thick at all to a very sharp with good access.
Very light and well balanced, the handle is very comfortable.
The only thing that bothered me a bit is the screw top of the micro precision where one puts his thumb.

SOUNDS

She's a lil jazz bass see precisely enough polyvente for low entry level with "small pickups.
on the other hand, it lacks some powerful bass and treble but otherwise good slap across it more than satisfactory.
Game to finger and slap sounds not bad, the pick with a lil effect (g repompa learned bass in all albums The Cure) is nickel.

OVERALL OPINION

This is my first bass, bought from okaz in 97/98, with G learned everything she attacked in slap full of cum !!!!!
Given its price (200 Eur and QLQ) and its qualities, there is no better way to start in good conditions with a sound pretty good.
It is well back in my Warwick Stingray5 my, my Spector and his little sister and Curbow6 B5.

Bass made in Indonesia
Fixed bridge (normal is low)
24 frets, rosewood key
1 microsecond accuracy Powersound (handle)
1 micro Powersound Jazz (bridge)
1 volume by microwave
A general tone potentiometer
No active electronics (but hey, at this price ...)

UTILIZATION

I want to clarify that I am a guitarist, who has sought to buy a low entry level to have fun for a bit and increase my sound palette.
I find the handle relatively pleasant, I expected a "worse" for a bass. It has a touch not far from a guitar, I think!
The ergonomics are very good, bass do not look and is comfortable to play
Access to the treble is very easy
So I put 10 because I was waiting on the one hand has a touch difficult because it is low, and low-end finish because it is cheap. Ben finally I'm really not disappointed!

SOUNDS

The sounds are quite versatile. However, it seems that micro-knobs operate at all or nothing when used together. We must turn a knob to the bottom when there is already an active microphone to hear a key change, there is no escalation. But hey, we can play a little on the knob tone (which is very effective in passing from my point of view) to address this lack.
I can get just about all types of sounds, then I'm not very demanding, I know it's a low entry level and so I do not ask him too.
I bought a pack including therefore the bass amp Kustom KBA + 16 (very good amp for the price) and bought a multi-effects Zoom B1 (multi-effects which basic but effective).
I can not really judge the sound because I'm not really require the development of bass sounds that I get, I use it mostly to have fun without trying to understand what I'm doing.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 months, always with the same pleasure! But hey, 2 months is not much.
I have tried no other model before buying it, I entered the store and I said "hello, you have a low not too bad and not too expensive?" And it showed me that Cort . I did not want something looking, even the most rotten bass would have made me happy. I had a lot better!
The feature I like most ... Well there is not really. Perhaps the speed of the shaft (for low)
The feature I like least is that we can not have a good mix of both pickups, as I explained earlier.
The value is very good in my opinion!
With experience, yes I would do this choice. I got it for my (little) money, I am very happy with my little low. Maybe look into a distant future tree to change the pickups, but hey, those origins are versatile enough for my taste.
My notes are rather optimistic, because I am a guitarist who wanted a low to relax a little. A real player, I think, will need after a moment of something a little better. But this bass is not bad for its price (especially if it is in pack)!

UTILIZATION

The bass is light and very good ergonomics. Once taken in hand, one is immediately comfortable with. Sitting or standing, it plays very easily.
All playing techniques can be executed easily. I play many fingers, but the slap is optimal comfort.
The highlight of this bass is its sleeve! That's what I immediately marked on this bass: the neck is thin, light and very pleasant to hold. In addition, the varnish on the back of the handle allows for left hand movements, slides, etc. without a hitch.

With two volumes and a tone, the adjustment possibilities are not endless .. But this is not a problem for me ..
With both pickups thoroughly, already has a very good sound, while still playing with the volume pot tone to strike a balance between the two ..
At such a price and is the only bass that I know of that has such a sound! Other bass for beginners, and in the same price range, are extremely cheap ... After several years of low behind me and even with new stuff, I still play it and she is sometimes second-lowest in concert or in studio.

SOUNDS

It is a low-driven "rock" and all styles can be played with (mine went through blues, jazz and some metal ..). At the time I was playing in a funk-rock type Red Hot Chili Peppers / Rage Against The Machine, with much finger-picking and slapping. It is perfect for that!
We can get all the sounds between the sound "type Precision Bass" and "Jazz Bass type" corresponding to the two microphones .. Personally, I almost did not play with the microphone Precision (today I do not like the sounds guys "Jazz Bass" too modern .. .. I prefer a good old growl of Precision).
I played with a Fender BXR60; unpretentious good amp though.

OVERALL OPINION

This is my first bass, so it has five or six years .. I had tested before any other model except the Ibanez for my father, which I started. But later, I took the time to compare it with other models of this range, and she finally comes out with the palm of the best!
See all forums on the net - French and foreign - and we can not stop singing praises about it.

I think even able to make a "good coffee". And this, by changing the pickups. Indeed, despite the fact that this is an excellent bass for beginners, it can not compete with a Fender or any other good instrument. But I think the pickups are what make the "cheap" in this low .. I therefore intend to change them by Seymour Duncan Jazz Bass, replacing a Musicman.

I also lets you link a possessor of this low, having changed the pickups: http://www.onlybass.com/html/test-cort.html

To summarize, this is the best bass in its class.
