Corenne since Cort Artisan A5 is the most upscale of the mark, and as the MODELS rcents it enters the stratgie "qualitquot, that Cort has started the past five years to make a name other than its price thanks.
The A5 possde a neck-through is that the piece of wood of the handle and the head will Get You Started up the extrmt body. This concept allows a former TRS sustain long enough, and better stability of rglage. Crt A5 DSur the handle is made up of five parts parallles, which still amliore stability of the handle.
The pickups are Bartolini Mk1, powerful, warm, beautiful, two in number (position of the middle body, and bridge).
The bridge house seems to you it seems to me irrprochable, except that it is not al parfaitemant the body height of the G string. My luthier will tell me more.
It is an active low, the rglages are classic: a knob for quilibrage of two microphones, one for volume, a switch to activate or not qualisation, and three knobs for the qualisation bass, and treble mdiums.
The mcaniques the heads are stressed by their quality, I did not know the Hipshot, but we must recognize that they are extraordinaireent prcises and fine. ESG Sul, when changing strings usual cranks are a little too big for the distance between the mcaniques on the A5 and it is not easy.
UTILIZATION
Premire thing to do, change the ignoble origin Addario strings dsaccordent which at first sight and sound not only by their mtal, for my part I vnre the Ernie Ball Power Slinky, a good game 135-50 to find its place without flinching and remove the fuzzy tuning and almost immediately the sound mtalise new ropes.
The handle, saddle and Weng through any bass, and Rosewood for the keys, is extremely enjoyable comfort. Everything plays smooth and fluid on the low. The action RULES low enough original incentive not to hit or attack as a bully, and the ease of playing naturally as a winner if a game low silent fate pure trs, tr s sweet.
It accde to dernires frets very easy, the dcoup body is beautiful and trsfminin it must be emphasized, and this low natural wood catches the eye as much as the ear.
Weight is within 5 pounds, not surprising (it is necessary to have a weight sustain worthy of the name) it is neither heavy nor lgre, but it has a trs good centering and suddenly the balance is trs enjoyable, and we feel ASEZ little weight rel. Sitting or standing, it will not dpays from a Fender Jazz or Precision, but it will be more comfortable. It is much less tired.
In its Contents, the potentiomtres qualisation of electronic coupling and the Bartolini pickups give incredible flexibility. The dynamics of volume on each track frequency drives is great, and the quality of its rglage whatever is really good. In short we can shape the sound will without s'inquiter for its quality. I think we're not far from the possibility of a Musicman Stringray but much cheaper!
SOUNDS
As explained above, the flexibility of the A5 sound is remarkable. Its pickups are of quality and of electronic qualisation stupfiante is the dynamic plan. The qualisation three bands can do almost any sound, except that of a Precision, because of the type of microphones. In any event state can make a pure, crystalline, if desired, but also his trs jazz with percussive pops and mediums, or a round or bold enough to rock and mtal, well that my own opinion and in the low fat, low this may not be able to fight with a Mexican Fender Precision, or even a Squier Precision when it was under one year of age.
With the A5, I replaced a Yamaha 605 BBH, a good 5-string bass for beginners but had no real characters, so no sound: its electronic n'tait not really convincing without specific default it does not allow to shape the sound really. With the Cort A5, which is not even twice as much, I still quite low Discoveries that could offer a cheap good quality sound and a true characters.
OVERALL OPINION
Bass player for 2 years and 5-string 3 years, I have this past month Artisan A5 but the shock was instantaneous t on the first try. I immediately knew that this silent MODEL fantastic for its price, without difficulty and replace my old Yamaha. Through the handle and sustain that bring out something amazing: I probably made a demand to try the B5, just below the MODEL that has a handle collviss classical and new IMMEDIATE t the shock, the silent A5 clearly a step up in terms of comfort and sound. The handle is comfortable, the electronic model allows me to my sound as I never did before, his balance is perfect as sitting up, even the Aesthetics of natural wood is beautiful simple breathtaking. The only complaint I have relates to the original strings that are not really worthy of this exceptional low price.
