Micro 2 Bartolini MK1
1 volume knob
A balance between the two potentiometer BARTOS
3 potentiometer equalizer (high, medium, low)
A silver switch to switch to active (EQ> Gain) or passive
24 frets
Bolt (too bad he is not in one piece, on mine)
Precise mechanical "Hipshot" (facilitates and maintains perfect tuning)
Bridge giving a reassuring impression of robustness

UTILIZATION

Handle a real surprise compared to my old 5-string, it is narrower very similar to that of a 4-string, allowing rapid movement between the strings without interfering with slap!
The wooden body natural resemblance to so misunderstand the manufacture maker!?!
ergonomics is good but the bass is heavy enough, however, (standing).
With the sound equalizer bin varies from one register to another and the sound is also nice passive.
Access to Acute easy with the design of the lower horn.

SOUNDS

The sound, I discovered yet (I regret a little the sound tends JazzBass) but it still requires the respect.J got a low end amp so the sound that goes with my level acquisition Proshyan amp I will update What it is difficult to describe her in writing.
The overall sound is powerful.
Difficult to note because of my receiver combo 5OW

OVERALL OPINION

I want to say I bought this bass OCCAZ but it seems like new
1 ° aesthetics does not leave indifferent is what I found when I étui.Les fate of his drinking are beautiful (and I have to OCCAZ, it must frankly nine flash).
The graduations of the boxes are the best pearl effect (it's custom) even contribute to its micro-oriented bass luthier style.Style havoc.
The head design is unique to Cort ° with a reminder of the trademark chrome "Cort" magnifique.L 'hardware in shiny black (not faded, nor yet mocked a OCCAZ c)
2 ° The sound correct (there may be sound in a headset plugs into the output jack) the gain is good! The slap does not require effort to get a good sound because the equalizer takes care settings with some .
3 can be "run" on the handle everything everywhere :-)
In general I really like this bass for the price and even nine I advise all or Artisan A5, if a bass like that there's not enough we must opt ​​for low Fender Jazz Bass style violin maker or directly next to Ken Smith > € 3000
I would acquire in the near future the Cort Artisan A6.
