« A very good slap! »
Published on 02/27/11 at 11:20Made in Indonesia, with a handle made of ebony (radius 400mm) and a luthite body and a maple neck, this bass has 27 frets! In addition, it has a micro Bartolini MK-I, and only 4 knob (volume, bass, mid, high). More details here: http://www.cortguitars.com/_webapp_3835203/Curbow5 #

The value for money could not be more correct.
With experience, I will not go that choice because I realized that we did not necessarily need 27frettes. However, when I bought it, I did not regretted (and I do not regret it at all !^^). I think I can still push it much further ...
