General advice:

- Very nice finish, with transparent paint that can see the wood structure.
- The volume control of 2 mics allows a wide range of sounds.

UTILIZATION

Channel to play nice, with quick access over the entire length. I have seen no other experience with low, I had some problems with the width of the handle, but from the reviews I found on the net, it is not too large.

The weight is plustôt lege, with a very good balance despite a handle long enough. The shape is nice, and allows quick access to the strings. According to some reviews on the Internet, it seems that the strings are set too high for some people. I have not yet done testing to see if it can go better descendants will the strings, but it's still envissageable.

Sounds can be set using two buttons volumes (one for each microphone), and can therefore have very different sounds. It can be also set the tone button. The sounds are very good, but it could possibly consider replacing microphones with active pickups have a sound more punch ...

SOUNDS

I bought this bass to see if the bass would please me, it satisfies me for now. I linked to a Laney R1, but not the best that the market does not defend this bad. Sounds can be very variable (for the micro P-Bass gives more fat than the micro J-Bass). Besides the volume control, there is also the tone controls. I confess that at the moment, I did not notice much difference with the tone, but I have not done hundreds of hours of games.

I like the way that sounds clear, not too fat and not too crystal-clear. Note that although the various notes, but we know it's still a bass that is played. It does parfaitmenet.

Again, one might choose to take plustôt active and passive pickups, but for passive pickups it does really well.

OVERALL OPINION

I do not use it for a long time, yet it makes me really want to play. I love the sound and finish it out.

For the choice, I was in my usual music store, and they advised me (for the price I asked). I also tried an Ibanez with a humbucker, but I clearly prefer to finish and the sound of the Cort. the Ibanez had a small defect in addition to handle missing aesthetics.

From the reviews I read, the quality seems to go with a good life. I would advise many people who start or want the bass to tries for its low price and quality / finish of the instrument.

I do not think that does make a real Musicman Stingray or Fender P-Bass it takes the shot, but the low end I think it will serve as one of the best.
