All user reviews for the Cort Artisan A5

See review below

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice and it is very late for a 5 string bass at once there are advantages and disadvantages depending on the type of game but mainly because the slap shot spacing between the strings is quite low but does not to make you just get used to it ...!!! Access to the acute problem is not a real highway for soloists ...

But it differs mainly in its versatility in sounds, you can get what we want from jazz to metal (my case ...)

I use it in direct into my preamp Digital MPA or with my Hartke 3500 in 2 cases it works very well, but beware of the output level is very high!

OVERALL OPINION

In fact I bought a painted version about 5 years ago (800 euros) that I sold because I needed money to equip myself in my studio ... it is a sound engineer that I had bought at that time there because he found the sound absolutely great!

But in November 2010 I came across a promo Playback and I came across the c. .. because it was 459 euros ... I jumped at the chance because at this price is nothing but nothing makes the competition, already at 800 was difficult ....

I would do this choice without any problems, I fell in love with this wonder, in fact I think me buy a second to have a different tune ....

Made in Indonesia
24 frets, fast neck
Active Electronics
Bartolini active pickups X2
Volume, balance, and 3 knobs Middle Bass Trebble + switch
Neck through, varnished, beautiful finish.

Edict of 25/07/10: electronics is 100% active. So when the battery is out of order, .... more sound! The switch is available does not save you in the middle of a concert: it gives the choice between active pickups Active EQ WITH or WITHOUT EQ! This allows for 2 different sounds immediately at hand. But this bass is not passive.


UTILIZATION

Channel end Intercord reduced space, so slap sometimes difficult (9 / 10). In contrast, fluid, solos, tapping welcome. Full access to treble.
The active electronics allow all sounds, from Blues to Metal!

SOUNDS

All sounds available, but with one constant: it growls loud, and all the bass vibrates well. I play on all amps in the studio, and Ashdown Mag 300 Evo II (with a 15 ") at home. It is crystal when it is necessary, and very heavy, with a powerful growl + a useful power for huge pieces bastonnent strong.

Edict of 25/07/10: his side, she served in the recording studio (Neve Genelec + ...) directly in the table with a DI box: Its HUGE! The bass rumbles, while being clear ..... excellent sound. I buy it back safely!

OVERALL OPINION

Tested in store this morning, went home with! Tried a few other 5 strings, but am less made an impression.
What I like most? Sound, or rather the sounds!
What I like least? The hard slap which requires rework his game, but ..... Is not it useful?
Value for money unbeatable.

I would do this election? We will see in a few months, but ..... I seriously think this is YES!

EDIT 25/07/10: slap actually difficult. Solution if you can not pull the string of D, it must enter the Mark King.
I buy it back safely!

UTILIZATION

I have not much experience but what I can say is I'm really comfortable when I play and all the lines that I know spend all alone ...
The slap has been much criticized but I feel pretty comfortable with my fingers for passing itself between the strings from the

SOUNDS

can do a lot of settings on this bass sounds and I think I am far from having tried everything. The bass vibrates a lot (thank you neck-through) and the sound is very powerful (much more than the Yam RBX 374 per instance)
I play mostly on my Audriogram6 connected to a Logitech Z5500 and I rattled dishes Mom floor below when I want

OVERALL OPINION

I've had two weeks now and I think I'm in love ...
Nah, seriously, I tried a Warwick, a RBX5A2 Yam, an Ibanez to 600 € (but I know the model). Anyway, when I put my little fingers on his sleeve, I knew it was the Cort that would suit me best ...
Ordered on the net (it may not be the best thing to do) and received no later than two weeks worries ...
Voila voila I won and I hope you will be too
