Well, well, like all CORT, manufacturing Core, with trs good wood (wenge bne key for the handle, saddle for the body), trs good pickups (Bartolini, pramp 3-band Barto too. yes, it's an active, with a switch (push / pull), noted that new switches seem very nice, but for those like me who do not use that force, it is in fact not practical), a bridge that gives the property (the new one have DIFFERENT MODELS, not his best subject, but can be stronger, Bolt (4 screws) 24 frets.

So the stuff is good. But the finish is medium (h yes, made in core), especially for the bridge and the nut, one notch below the rest. But like the rest is very good, and especially the stuff is top, so it ... well.

UTILIZATION

Channel trs trs fast. For a 5-string attention. The body shape lends itself to the acrobatics, the slap is good for those who do regularly, but not essentially, the two monstrous black bars (which are used for microphones) make it difficult to slap c t easel ... but his thumb is to ask gnial.
I am a little meager, but after two hours of rpt, ouch, I cut the strap a little shoulder, but again, it's 5-string, long neck, large electronic and finally it is a little over the same ilk yamaha ...
For its greasy, dry, "rock n roll baby", while the bottom! APRS is RULES treble to the sub, or the slamming. The balance is very well micro noon to play with fingers. I set the easel for funk in handle for acoustic sounds, style-low against ... trs is very easy. APRS that we have memorized what they do, these 5 knobs all the same ...

SOUNDS

I really enjoy the very slow blues-rock with a healthy dose of pop: the lower the Lenny Kravitz, k's choice, as Ben Harper, I love. And for this type of sound is low ZE.
But I also like the grunge and punk. And for the game to mdiator, fast, sharp, it is less empty: the woods and pickups are assurment conus privilgier for low and low-mdiums ...
But I m'dbrouille, and when he does do what it can do (much), it was always what we want.
Basically, its deep and fat, while still having the slamming agus well (thank you to electro. !)............ Active A good sound guy, on which I immediately flach the shop, trying the same low price range (Jazzbass Southwestern, ibanez, etc ...) In short it is a low characters. A sound that changes (I'm taking the low group, and y 'for every taste and price, well, it's clear it's something else it)

It is made to be a low-heard, and who can afford it. So not for the punk ...... I love the concept.

OVERALL OPINION

So I will speak the tune, because, objectively, there's no photo, for a low quality that there must be twice as expensive, even Yamaha (frankly I prfre of far TRB5: lighter, prettier, his most-fit in). Basically, for the same price, I bought a jazz bass mexicaine.ha yes I forgot I left, so issue price is not quite the same, if you know what I mean: - (. RPET And I was the day and night.

I use the bte since ... 2 years or less. Every time I tell myself "achte a musicman, warwick or", and well, it's always the same phrase returns "Damn it's expensive for such a short Difference". So I keep it.

This is my second bass, a Squier APRS for learning ... I wanted to sell it, I can not. May be one day that I would tune in pt and I know what to buy.

Then, with the exprience, Ja wohl, wunderbar, and if not, just got my staff, I complterais by low adapts more to punk, a 4 string, with microphones of shit .. .
