Speaking of the control cavity, it houses a Markbass MB-1 preamp. The neck joint was solid and tight, and even the control cavity (which is often a dead giveaway for a cheap bass) was relatively neat and tidy. The frets were well installed, with no sharp edges or poorly filed crowns. It’s obvious that Cort has been at the building game for a while. The instrument’s overall fit-and-finish was hard to fault. I also wasn’t especially impressed with the skill of whoever put on its strings, as they left only a wrap-or-so on the post and neglected to push the string down to ensure good contact at the nut. The generic Cort-branded bridge did its job, too, but the plastic nut wasn’t up to the generally solid quality of the rest of the bass. I was generally impressed with the B5’s hardware, particularly its use of Hipshot Ultralite tuners, which are among the best. The matching headstock cap is another elegant touch. Long a feature of high-end instruments, laminated necks made of contrasting wood species can help mitigate the effects of weather. Similarly handsome is the Cort’s five-piece wenge/rosewood neck. Our tester’s open-grained ash body was finished with a thin lacquer, allowing me to feel the subtle undulations of the wood under my hand and imparting the instrument with an organic vibe. The B5 makes an excellent first impression. It fuses a selection of natural- finished woods with active electronics and Bartolini soapbars, and to the untrained eye has the same aesthetic vibe as many boutique instruments.
#CORT BASS B4 PLUS#
With his recent years spent in humanizing himself, for lack of a better way of describing it I look for information on him instead of just the music while ignoring it's from that prick of a bass player.The B5 Plus AS is an affordable 5-string with many of the touches previously associated with more expensive basses. He's been known to be one of the biggest pricks of our time. JB is one of my heroes from my high school years in the 80s. Next time you plunk down that someone is a prick, then want someone who asks that you check yourself to go look for contradicting proof for you, please put in your own effort. The original article I was looking for, I cannot find. There was an opportunity and he didn't do that thing he used to do.
I wasn't there, didn't read the thread or the offending text on either side that resulted in the ban during my 10+ years on that forum.Īnother forum where he's seen as not the guy he used to be. What the poster here means by "obviously can't" is that Jeff Berlin was banned from TalkBass. Similarly, please send any comments or critiques to the moderators.
