Mahogany body with African Wenge wood neck. Considering this would be considered a low-mid end bass, wenge is a wood commonly used on very expensive instruments and the playability is excellent. I also needed no extra setup from the store.

Sounds great and is very versatile. Active or passive, great tone control. Mighty Mite pickups on mine are good, but would prefer Bartolini's on the more expensive Corts but the sound is still great.

Again, setup and action were excellent for me right out of the store. Playing in store was why I bought it.

Seems solid, haven't gigged with it as it's mainly for my recording studio but I would gig with it in a heartbeat.

I only dealt with the store but if there's any issues they said they'd contact the local distributor and fix anything that was wrong. Haven't needed support so far

This bass plays as nice as any Fender I've tried. I played a friend's musicman about a year ago and it was nicer to play than the cort but not $1200-$1400 nicer. And it was a little like comparing apples to oranges, not exactly the same type of bass anyways.

Can't find a single thing I dislike about this guitar.
It sounds great! And the active electronics give it so much
power! I play grunge, rock, metal... everything and it fits
in perfectly. I've had this guitar for 2 years now and some
noises appeared - gonna fix this soon. The guitar has a powerful
low sound which makes it great for playing live.

The guitar was set perfectly, I didn't need to change
anything. Didn't notice any flaws. 10!

Never had problems with it while playing live. I think it will last really long. The noises were only noticeable in the studio so, it's no problem.

I've been playing for 5 years now... yea I know I'm still new at this.
If it were stolen I would buy the same model but the 5-stringed version.
I love the active set-up, it makes the guitar sound so powerful.
I have a cheap J&D bass at home but it's not worth mentioning cause
C4Z kicks it's butt hard.
If you're looking for a powerful bass guitar - buy it, you won't regret
it.
