So bassists look for a bass guitar which is able to produce the “best” sound for him/herself. Often, one bass guitar is not able produce all the type of sounds the bassist wants, which is why bassists have more than one bass guitars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cort A4 may be a good solution to those bassists out there who’s constantly searching for the right bass guitar with the right sound and tone. Cort A4 is known for its ability to cover almost all types of music genres – pop, jazz, rock, funk, blues, CCM – and Cort A4 covers them brilliantly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Few comments on the super quality of Cort A4’s hardware:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Neck-through construction – gives the bass guitar a long long sustain. By the way, you simply cannot find a bass guitar with a neck-through construction at this cheap price(because neck through bass guitars need bigger pieces of wood)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Bartolini MK-1 Electronics – has 3 Active EQ controls(bass, middle, treble), allowing you to experiment with the tones until you find the right one. It also has a active/passive switch, allowing you to switch off from active mode(and save the battery)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Hipshot machine heads&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Brass nuts&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Platinum hardware&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All these super quality hardware allows Cort A4 to make a super sound. If you search on the internet, you will find nothing but praises for this bass guitar, because it produces such a wonderful sound despite its relatively cheap price(around $800). Even some pro musicians admit that they prefer Cort A4 over Fender, Musicman, Warwick. Why waste money on branded bass guitars? Cort A4 gives you everything for such a cheap price!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Did you find this Cort bass guitar review useful?

It is designed by a famous bass guitar designer, Greg Curbow. If you’re looking for a one of a kind bass guitar, while looking for a cheap price as well, consider Cort Curbow 4.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How Curbow 4 is different(whether for better or worse)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.Luthite body – a very unusual material to use for a bass guitar body. This reduces the sustain, but produces a great tone for slap and pop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.27 frets – a breakaway from the conventional 20 or 24 frets – allows the Cort Curbow 4 to produce notes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.A tiny body – Makes the Cort Curbow 4 ever so light, allowing players to play all night long. However, because of the bass guitar’s unusual shape, it’s difficult to play while sitting down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4.A sharp, extended upper horn – actually allows Cort Curbow 4 to produce a “sharp” sound.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5.A deep, deep cutaway – making those high frets accessible&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6.Single Bartolini amk-1 pickup – Usually bass guitars have two pickups(except Precision Bass)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7.A very very thin neck –Good because it makes the movement of the hand along the neck easy and slick. Makes it look sexy too. Bad because it reduces the distance between the strings, which makes it difficult to slap and pop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8.A “slap” switch – this has mixed reviews from users. Some say it makes the tone “beautiful”, while others describe the switch as “a joke”. It is said to make the tone “as if the bass guitar is connected to an effecter”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, there’s a very exotic and a special bass guitar for you. All this for a very cheap price – approximately $350. Cort Curbow 4 is a killer bass guitar for a cheap price, which shows off exceptional quality and features for this price range. If you’re looking for some unconventional, special, sexy and decent bass guitar for a cheap price, you should be considering Cort Curbow 4.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/4126454088225970476-4023707764123705575?l=cort-bass.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="related" href="http://cort-bass.blogspot.com" title="Cort Bass Guitar - Curbow 4" /><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://cort-bass.blogspot.com/feeds/4023707764123705575/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://cort-bass.blogspot.com/2009/03/cort-bass-guitar-curbow-4.html#comment-form" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4126454088225970476/posts/default/4023707764123705575?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4126454088225970476/posts/default/4023707764123705575?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://cort-bass.blogspot.com/2009/03/cort-bass-guitar-curbow-4.html" title="Cort Bass Guitar - Curbow 4" /><author><name>J.Park</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17324275515071917945</uri><email>bakjewel@gmail.com</email></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cp5CUtfcA98/SciP8TMQG4I/AAAAAAAAACA/re4F0nTFOkc/s72-c/Curbow4225.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;CUEAQ3g6eyp7ImA9WxVUGEU.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126454088225970476.post-3840635040024011858</id><published>2009-03-23T07:45:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-24T01:34:02.613-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-03-24T01:34:02.613-07:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="cheap" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="action bass" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="cort" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="beginner" /><title>Cort Bass Guitar - Action Bass</title><content type="html">&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cp5CUtfcA98/ScehnLiQAbI/AAAAAAAAAB4/wh0eT_Yyz7k/s1600-h/action+bass.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cp5CUtfcA98/ScehnLiQAbI/AAAAAAAAAB4/wh0eT_Yyz7k/s320/action+bass.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316395579617575346" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Cort Action Bass - "The" bass guitar for beginners&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want to start to play bass, there's no point buying expensive bass guitars, you won't be able to make a full use of it. Therefore you should be looking for some cheap bass guitars. However, the bass guitar should also have reasonable quality, or otherwise you would get used to playing something which is "not quite  a bass guitar". You need a bass guitar which actually has some decent quality to be classified as a bass guitar, while having a reasonably cheap price. There are lots of cheap bass guitars out there, and only a few of them guarantee quality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cort bass guitars are renowned for their quality despite their cheap prices. This is because Cort is able to mass produce their guitars, while using top notch technology to ensure quality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some reasons why bass beginners should choose Cort Action Bass:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. It's really cheap.&lt;br /&gt;2. Despite having decent quality.&lt;br /&gt;3. It Looks sexy.&lt;br /&gt;4. Lots of people use it already. It's popular for good reasons.&lt;br /&gt;5. It's got PJ(precision-jazz) pickups, allowing the player to play a diverse range of genres.&lt;br /&gt;6. It's got 24 frets, allowing the guitar to produce higher notes(as opposed to Jazz Bass which has 20 frets)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To all the beginners out there: don't make a mistake by buying a cheap and unbranded bass guitar(that's what I did). Cort IS one of the biggest guitar manufacturers in the world, so you don't need to suspect their quality or reliability. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looking for a cheap and affordable but a decent bass guitar? Cort Action Bass is what you need.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/4126454088225970476-3840635040024011858?l=cort-bass.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="related" href="http://cort-bass.blogspot.com" title="Cort Bass Guitar - Action Bass" /><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://cort-bass.blogspot.com/feeds/3840635040024011858/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://cort-bass.blogspot.com/2009/03/cort-action-bass.html#comment-form" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4126454088225970476/posts/default/3840635040024011858?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4126454088225970476/posts/default/3840635040024011858?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://cort-bass.blogspot.com/2009/03/cort-action-bass.html" title="Cort Bass Guitar - Action Bass" /><author><name>J.Park</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17324275515071917945</uri><email>bakjewel@gmail.com</email></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cp5CUtfcA98/ScehnLiQAbI/AAAAAAAAAB4/wh0eT_Yyz7k/s72-c/action+bass.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;CU4DSHYzeyp7ImA9WxVUGEw.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126454088225970476.post-2864118360300216586</id><published>2009-03-23T05:41:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-23T06:12:59.883-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-03-23T06:12:59.883-07:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="bass" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="guitar" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="korea" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="cort" /><title>Everything On Cort Bass Guitars: Policies</title><content type="html">Welcome to "Everything On Cort Bass Guitars".
