Cort Artisan C4

This is my first bass but ive played an extansive range of other basses. I bought this bass for $900 australian dollars in 2002, from custom music albury. I didnt no anything about basses when i bought it, but it turns out that this bass is a little to good for a beginner.

I love my cort C4. I played a warwick thumb thru-neck 4 string at the bass centre in melbourne and i hated it. i thought my C4 was better. I love the feel of the bass and my colour is a wood walnut finish. The bass has 2 active mightymite soap-bar pickups on an active pre-amp. The bridge is a fortress bridge which is ment to increase sustain and create more of an acoustic vibe.

I dont like the bridge because it has some fuzzyness about it. I dont enjoy playing the D string on the bridge pickup because it is very tence and is hard to make a good sound. Other than that, its a great bass.

The bass was made in korea, and the contruction is outstanding. The fretboard is very usable and fast to play. Ive had it for 2 yrs and its holding up beautifully. 24 frets, rosewood fretboard, active electronics what more could you want?

I love this bass. I think its beta than the warwick thumbs. I feel more at home on my bass.
For $900 aussie dollars this is sexy, punchy bass.

Wholesale C4 What is:

- 4 knob (treble, mid, bass, volume)
-Body Lime - maple neck - Rosewood fingerboard 24 frets
-2 Double coil pickups Mighty Mite
-Accastillage Chrombr /> -Mcaniques oil bath

So much for the biggest ...

-And The first small default: The screws !!! Make really careful when you open the thread explodes into two two !!!

J'mettrai 7 because of what dfault which can be very annoying (your stack will change at the last minute before a live as you can no longer remove the rear plate ...)

USE

Use level after two three rglages at the action, this bass is butter. Your beautiful slider, tap solo in acute or hyper agrables slaper it. You slip is prcis, short is good !!!!

It's well worth the lil 8 (no more because you still take the same time to the rgler)

SONORITS

Fatadique comes the moment of sound and the ... what's pulse. Pourune midrange is to fall by terre.Encore once well be the rgler level tones but good once qu'c'est made his rings. Jla live shows that DI, but his pte well faade !!!
Personally, although jprfre the round coffee, and here I have used. The lctronique is very efficient and allows obtenire little prs s'kon want (j'fais some funk and slap spring very very good).
Not having bocou sub j'l'utilise with povre Behringer 120W in amps, the bin as it sounds, awesome !!!
In short, this bass is quite versatile, and a midrange sounds exceedingly well. Thank you, active !!! We will go to 10.

NOTICE GLOBAL

In rsumer is one of my First low, and this is one that j'ne leave for anything. It is not a good big TFW series Ibanez, but given the qualitprix Hours of Operation: any beginner needs to have a look oeuil by. For other try, it is worth the detour ... Its still a Cort all the same, so the quality remains at the appointment.
Seriously, that's 3 years jtourne above jla know by heart, and I am glad excesivement. But hey, a low is not trying the internet, take your hands before buying, even spend 2 hours).
Go a nice 9 because after 3ansde good and loyal service she deserves!

OVERALL OPINION

This is my 3rd low Hartke VXL Bass Attack), good mechanical hold Note well (just tune the bass), knobs efficient, consumes little battery (active pickups), beautiful, solid, good finish, very resistant to weather and trimballage at concerts and sudden temperature change (house> Car> Road> concert hall, summer, winter, etc ...), very balanced, very nice handle, easy to play, good sound (rock, hard, slap, slide, sweet song).
The bad sides: Friesland a bit (I did-alone-a small adjustment of the handle), a bit heavy at the end of concert (ok with a good strap large enough) That's it!
I would like to change against an Ibanez, only the mouth and the pleasure of having a low weight pen, but I'll keep it because it can do everything and I do not have money to lose. When I read the comparative low, I realized that my Cort is one of the best bass for the price. A Rickenbaker a Höfner or Gretsch 2500 €? Yeah I do not mind sharing, if I keep my Cort." rel="ugc noopener" target="_blank"> and my 20th concert with it.
The good side: not too heavy (nothing to do with the lightness of some Ibanez), good sound original (but much better since I plugged directly into my sound system via a DI Hartke VXL Bass Attack), good mechanical hold Note well (just tune the bass), knobs efficient, consumes little battery (active pickups), beautiful, solid, good finish, very resistant to weather and trimballage at concerts and sudden temperature change (house> Car> Road> concert hall, summer, winter, etc ...), very balanced, very nice handle, easy to play, good sound (rock, hard, slap, slide, sweet song).

I buy in stores, in superb condition, it is equipped with micro active and a handle 24 CASETRA useful momment (well it depends on what you play), the main negative point is the bridge it is quite complicated to set up and sometimes it gnre Audible vibration that can be set with a good clamping System.
2 band eq knob severe and acute, and the same active frequencies

UTILIZATION

The handle is nice to pick up the note at the top of the handle is the handle which allows very fine an easy game, finally is the case everywhere on the fretboard.

SOUNDS

She is very versatile and these super easy to adjust the sound
I use a qur marshall 200w bass dynamics and frankly these huge if you want to stay stick to the ceiling, it has an egg and to sustain these EXCELLENT for heavy gaming.

OVERALL OPINION

I have 3 years and the beast did more secrets for me
I really love his sound, this is why I never is changed.
I do it again the same choice without problems, rather than twice, I prefer it to a fender even if the renaming of fender at this level is already done.
