Features: My Bass was made in Japan I think, it has 24 frets and has two volume controls and one tone control. The body is made form Agathis, and the neck is made from hard rock maple. Its finish is the cool thing about it, it has a really cool cutaway in the head and the neck is untreated and gives a great grip when you are throwing it around... The body it painted transparent blue, the only thing about it is that the paint get alot of scartches pretty quick. // 8

Sound: I pay hardcor metalcore and this dubbel hand battle axe makes the sound of satan... well almost c",) it has a great sound allready even with my 15watt thunderbird amp. But if you tune the tone all the way to the top and puts alot of gain on it it will spit out a sound that will tremble the floor and even kill some grandmas. // 10

Action, Fit & Finish: The bass was set up perfectly from the factory. I haven't changed anything and it rock hardcore butt anyway. Besides this thing can go through a huricane without getting de-tuned. // 10

Reliability & Durability: I would alaway depend on it at a gig I have palyed it live a million times and it has neaver failed me... but if you are throwing it around like me (completely insane) you might need to tape the stap to the body. // 10

Impression: For the music I play it is a god and I think that it will handle everyting else with a quick turn on the knobs and it's pretty cheap so I love it... nothing more to say! // 8

overall: 7.6

Sound: This bass is for a bass player that's more into hard rock music and can play that genre of music. It has the sound for hard rock music when you try this bass out. I play this with a Stagg 40BA Amp and it gives it a good vibration and a good fill of the bass. I haven't got any effects yet and haven't used any yet but I think any effect will be good for this bass. This bass is certainly for more metal players because I play Indie rock on this bass and it doesn't go as well, so if you like playing metal music, heres the bass for you. // 9

Action, Fit & Finish: This bass has lots of colours for it including: black, amber satin, blue, red and walnut satin. This bass keeps getting out of tune for some reason though when I don't even touch it, but other then that, this bass is brilliant. This bass guitar also comes in different sizes as well like 1/2 size and a 3/4 size. // 6

Reliability & Durability: This bass guitar I recon has a good lifespan and a good sound so it is good for performances. The strap buttons are perfect and never become loose or anything. this bass would be brilliant as a backup bass or a first choice bass if you were doing a gig. this bass is thick and wide and lasts a long time. I have smashed it a tiny bit, but it seems to have no effect on it at all. // 7

Impression: Overall, this bass is quality and worth the price it is. All metallists Who play bass guitar, get this bass! there is nothing bad about it, it's all good. I wouldn't buy it again though if it was stolen because it is a good bass, but I would try out a different bass. // 6

Nice review man! Sounds like you really love your Cort! i have a little problem. I want 2 buy my first bass but im not sure whether i should buy a brand new Cort Action 4 Series bass like yours or a second hand
Cort NB4 Artisan bass guitar with Bartollini MKII active pickups for the same price? please can you give me some advice!

This is not an great bass guitar! I had some problem with bad noise from the neck. The store were i bought it needed to give me a new one 3 times. When i came in to the store for the fourth time dey gave me an Squier P-Bass. And that bass guitar works perfektly. Its sad. The cort action bass is an beautiful bass guitar

[Bob_Doles_Pants]

mmmmm it is. I have the one with the maple looking finish on it. I want to fornicate with it

[Bob_Doles_Pants]

actualy i have a lot of neck noise too. And the G string (he he he) goes out of tune as you go up the neck too, but i think you can fix that... I dont love it as much as i first did. Still pretty cool tho

my first bas was one of the artisan series of cort and i must say that the action series plays better .
And the sound is much better then that of the artisan series but that is what i think.
