Cort Action Bass

Its the standard 4 string Cort Action Bass, The features are pretty standard for any bass.

At first i though the sound was pretty ok, but i've been playing it for over 2 years now and the sound is actually quite horrible. The pickups are really cheap and you can hear it. The sound hasn't got any body, but for this price what can you expect.

If this bass had good pickups in, the fit would be awesome. It is super light and really plays like a dream. Factory set action was perfect, i tried adjusting it, but ended up putting it back the way it was. The finish is pretty bad, not exactly the toughest guitar around, but it probably would be nice for a backup.

Hasn't given me a day of trouble, so i guess i would have to give it 10 then!

Never needed any.

This makes for a really great beginner bass, and for a bassist that doesn't play too often. It did me good for 2 years, but i really can't take it anymore. The guitars body is great (except for the not so tough finish) and plays really well, its just the sound that lets it down. If you are a more serious bassist, rather go for something like the Artisan B series.

I bought a Cort Action Bass 4 String that is a 2004 model. It has 24 frets It is an agathis body with a maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. There are 2 volumes and 1 tone control. It is also a P/J pickup combination. The pickups are mighty mites I think. It is a passive bass.It has a transparent red color that is beautiful and lets the wood grain show through. The neck is fairly average for a 4 string. It came with a gig bag.

I play gospel and country and it is great for the music that I play. I play it through a Yorkville bassmaster 100 amp. It isn't as noisy as my Fender Jazz. It has a very warm, punchy, and low bass sound at the same time it picks up the midrange and highs as well. The bass is versatile in the sounds it can make. I mostly set it for punch and rich, warm bass sound. You can adjust it from muddy to clear with the tone knob which really does work. I think it is equally as suited for the stage or studio. I like its weight and size which is somewhat smaller even though it has 24 frets. So far I cant put my finger on anything that I dislike.

It was set up pretty well at the factory but I had to lower the action for the style that I play. The pickups are adjusted well as it has a complete range for all 4 strings. So far I have not noticed any flaws.

I think this bass would withstand live playing without a problem. It seems solid through and through. I feel confident in depending on it. The truss rod had to be adjusted some to straighten the neck some. I would use it without a backup hands down.

Have not had to deal with customer service as of yet. It has a limited lifetime warranty I think.

I have been playing for 5 years. I also own a Fender Jazz and an Ampeg B-100 amp and a Sansamp DI Bass Driver. I would not have a problem buying it again if the situaion called for that but have not had it quiet long enough to honestly give an opinion here. I choose this because it initially caught my attention as far as how beautiful it looks. I also set down and played it for about an hour and played through different amps to make sure I liked the sound and action. I may end up changing pickups down the road but not because of tone, just for a hotter output. I would reccomend it to anyone so far.

24 frets, mightymite pickups ( jbass and pbass ) passive electronics, body made of agathis and the neck is maple.

the guitar has an amberstain finish, it uses a hardtail bridge and non-locking die-cast tuners (brandless)

the neck is average in thickness.

i got a rockbag with it, that was kinda cool.

the bass doesnt have the definition i'm looking for, the sound aint too great but he's got a variety of sounds to use.

its not a great bass, but for the price you wont find a better one.

ok.

it seems solid, but i have absolutely no experience with letting this baby slip or sitting on that shit so i dont know.

its a great bass for the price, but not for professional players, and i dont believe de stupidity here, everyone wants to act like their actionbass is special, but it aint that great, you shouldnt give it a "9" rating for the sound becouse it aint that wonderful..

seeya

This is a new action bass... walnut stain, etc ec standard stuff

This was my step up from a REALLY and TRULY wretched jay turser 5 string. Probably the worst guitar imaginable. So when I pulled this thang out of the bag (they sent it in a really nice gig bag with velveteen lining that I definitely did not ask or pay for, but keep in mind I did not buy it from the cort website) it was almost a religious experience. Well no, but it was cool. It's fairly noiseless, and the tone is warm. It's pretty versatile too. I can get some decent slap/pop sound out of it although it doens't really seem to be built for that sort of thing. Which is ok, because I don't really play that kind of thing anyway. The sound is rich for a mid-quality bass, but if I care enough I might eventually replace the pickups.

All was well. I made some tiny adjustments to the action, there was a little bit of fret buzzing when I got it to the level I wanted it, so I had to raise it a tiny bit higher but it's hardly a big deal. I also had to adjust the intonation a little, and the saddles were a little bit screwy. I had to fight for that one. But I got it. The finish is nice, very smooth and attractive. It's a comfortable weight and the neck is nice.

I do use this to play in a group, and it does us fine. The hardware is solid, and yeah I'd use it without a backup without any concern, not that i have a choice since this is my only bass.

I've been playing bass for a few years but I'm primarily a guitar player. I own a steinberger GU, a Peavey LTD EXP with a roland GK-2A through a GR-1 synthesizer, and a Washburn BT. This is my only bass, which I bought after selling a really lousy jay turser. I use it to play in a rock group, and other than that most of my studies are with the guitar. But I do love this bass.

Im sure some of the other posts here will be a little more informative. I dont really know that much about it yet beacause I have only had it for a short time and havent had much time to study it features yet. I also dont know that much about bass parts because I am a guitarist and just have this to mess around with.

I play alot of grunge and metal, but since I have only played a little bit of stuff on this since the time I bought it. I have played some mad season, rage against the machine, temple of the dog, pearl jam, nirvana, soundgarden, Blink 182(not for me. my friend loves them and wanted me to help her with one of their songs). So far I have no complaints. I thought it sounded pretty good and the amp I am using with it is terreble.

I think that it is set up very well. the pick up configuration is good. The strings arnt too low or high. It looks really cool and the finish is good. the tunning pegs arnt loose (like on alot of guitars I have used).It doesent seem to have any flaws as of yet.

I havent gigged with this yet and probubly never will. Not because I dont think that it is good but because I play guitar in my band. My bassist plays a Fender Jazz bass, which is also nice and sounds simmilar to me, and I would definetly let her use this as a backup if she wanted too.

I am very happy with this bass. befor I bought it I had never really played a bass and this one seemes great. this bass is good for me because it is fairly small but still good. my hand are small and this bass has a fairly thin neck so it is easer for me to play then my friends fender. I wouldent take this back for anything because athough it is not the top of the line or expencive bass, I dont need something like that becasue I mainly play guitar. This bass has made me question my existance as a guiarist.

1999 cort action bass, bought it for 600 guilders, about 250-300 dollars.
it's a basic four string passive bass, 2 pickup controls and 1 tone controller
one jazz pickup and one power pickup (that's what cort calls em.)
blue shine tru kinda color

My music style is basicly metal but sometimes I play some jazz/funk and some freestyle/easy listening.
I use an Hughes and Kettner Bassbase 400 combo, a darn good amp but it also costed me a fair buck.
I think the sound could have been way better, the pickups are noisy as hell and the tone controller seems to make it worse each way you turn it, the pickups are probably just crappy, I don't like the sound at all, one one thing is good about the sound, the Jazz pickup, it sounds pretty cool but it still hisses and hummz like my grandma.

The bass was set up terribly, I didn't like the settings at all, but that's just a personal opinion, maybe you'de like it.
the pickups where set way to high, the strings clattered straight into the pickup (the E string)
the controls for the pickups and tone came loose after 5 months, pretty damn silly, they are just tightened with a little bit of glue or something, I glued them back in, no probs anymore, but still it's pretty crappy!

yeah, I've done a few gigs on this bass, and i've jumped all over the place, in the reheasal place it fell from it's stand, nothing broken, I think it's pretty solid.
I would gig without a backup, just because of the fact that my other bass (squier jazz) sounds like shit compared to this bass (and I even think this one sounds crappy..)

Haven't been in contact with them

overall this bass is worth it's money, yeah the sound isn't great, and some other things are pretty lousy but for the money I spend on it, it's still a good bass, I do like it, I'm planning to buy a new bass, Ibanez SR3005, but that's a whole diffrent world.
I'll keep this bass anyway because I like it, even if it's just for the backup.
