Goed gedaan heer, Interessant!

Keep up de the good work, ik ga dit aan mijn leerlingen laten zien.

Ik ben al een meer dan 30 leeraar metaal, en heb deze video heel goed gevonden om mijn leerlingen te laten zien. ik vond het raar dat nog niemand hier op reageert, ik zou dit alleen maar toe juigen. bedankt voor de video.

Hello, I would like to know the distances between the knobs if you don't mind...because i'm planning to swap the onboard preamp. I hate the Bartolini MK1s.

So is a piece of crap basicly

Thanks for the review. Cort make very good basses, thats clear. BUT. I own a B5 (bought 10+ years ago) and have a similar issue when tuning B string. Told a luthier, and well, same story as yours.

The intonation thing can be fixed by cutting 5mm out of the screw. I'm not a luthier, but not too hard to figure that out. Maxed out truss rod is not good as it's double action rod and thus hard to fix. mine luckily has just tiny bit more range than needed for hex core medium set.

do you still own the bass? one question, some state, that this bass has no real passive mode, so the guitar wont work without a battery. odd way to wire the internals this way. can you please try it for me? despite the issues im on the edge of buying this bass. another thing is, the bartolini mk1s are not bartolinis but just rebranded crap, no? you exchanged the mk1 for the mk5s do you have pictures of the internals of the mk1s?

cool video and you point out some interesting flaws but dude.. you had to say tone wood. your pickups are not microphones. us electric bass and electric guitarist need to get rid of this myth. the ONLY effect the materials of your guitar (other than the strings) have on your "tone" is sustain. your pickups respond to changes in the magnetic field. not to vibrations of your whole guitar. tone wood only applies to acoustic instruments because its the BODY based on and including the strings that you HEAR DIRECTLY. once you plug in your bass or electric guitar, the body, nut and bridge only help with sustaining the vibrations of your strings. I'm not trying to be disrespectful, but we all need to get rid of this myth.

as indian, we feel foreigner are too spoiled. as long as air india take you to your destination you shut up and enjoy the flight. i have been fortunate to fly air india before and it was wonderful exerience. air india is very safe cuz india government have strict regulation and even have extra security step compared to america. so america airline is less safe than india.

Thank you so much I was watching all the vids then I took a break and came back and heard you talk about this problem. You just saved me 1,100 that I was going to order one tomorrow morning. Read all the reviews. I will checkout the Ibanez. Thanks again.

Thanks for the review. I decided to buy this same model, despite the issues you had. It was on sale for a great price, and I was just going to modify the bridge to intonate the b string if I had to. Much to my surprise it was perfect at the 12th fret and only a tiny bit out at the 24th. Maybe Cort have finally fixed this issue.

How can I solve the 5 string intonation problem of this bass? I want to buy this bass..!

Is there an intonation problem with the A5 multiscale?

Hoe gaaf is dat 🕺

Hi. Thank you for sharing your unsuccessful experience in acquiring the Cort A5 Plus SC. I really like this model. I wanted to buy it. I stopped at the cheaper A4 Plus FMMH. She was available. Besides, I'm a beginner bass guitarist. And I decided to purchase the 5-string model later. When I have some experience. Your adventures have caused me extreme regret and disappointment in relation to the company Cort. Having many years of experience in the production of instruments of various brands, having equipment and professional staff, it is a big mistake to allow a low-quality bass to get to the buyer. Despite the fact that the model is a successful copy of the boutique brand Fodera. And it costs not the smallest money. I'm an engineer too. And I can say for sure, the bridge design is successful. It allows you to individually adjust the saddle under each string in height and length of the beaker in a fairly wide range. A five-layer through neck is also used on other models. So the design and technology have been worked out. And in my opinion they are extremely successful. By massively producing this part of the guitar, you can supplement it with two parts of the body and widely vary the shape, material of the models to satisfy the most diverse tastes and requests of musicians. Most likely, the bridge was installed carelessly. At the enterprise, this could be detected and eliminated. As well as other disadvantages. Surprisingly, manufacturers consider it possible to transfer low-quality tools to dealers and buyers. At the same time, they do not seem ready to receive payment with fake bills, checks or fake wire transfers. In order not to eliminate the shortcomings of the means of payment in the future. Good luck.

Thanks for the honest review Milko! Planning to buy this guitar next year. I hope the ones they produce that time would be of better quality as pthers in the comment have said.

So sweet friend! We will jamm again in august.. we will just make it work.. bring your lovely bassplayer. We will rock the place .

Reminds me that great night session with you. Your performance was absolutely perfect with all the respect and love. I badly wanna see you and play again before I die. Keep tight my friend.

"secret" waterfall???

Did you manage to repair it ? Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭

I don't know why they don't offset the bridges. B string intonation seems to be a big problem in many basses. I've been to luthier that has his bass with terribly intonated B string and he just said : "Nobody plays B string that high" and "It's normal". Something tells me that he was wrong. I've been wanting to buy a 6 string model and was wondering about the intonation too. At least it can be fixed without replacing or remounting the bridge which is bearable. At it seems to me that 6 string has somewhat slanted fixators for the saddles, which may help. How was the fretboard over the years? Did it need a fret leveling after all that time?

My Cort A5 Plus had the bridge problem on the high C/G String... I used a drill press and carefully gave about 2mm more space for the little screw to move. The risk was worth it. Hope you all enjoy these amazing sounding, sexy looking instruments.

Did you try to put a smaller springs for the B string adjustement?...

Did you play around with the string height? I had some issues with my old A5 and like you on the B string was way high above 12 fret. After I lowered the string at the saddle a little I was able to bring the saddle back enough to be able to make adjustments.

I have one for about a year now. Maybe the later model is produced better. The only discernable problem is the B string intonation, however, it's not very bad. The higher frets read sharp, but never leave the note pitch completely. I will try to adjust intonation in a few days and we'll see if it's accomplishable. The sound of this Bass is the main attraction. It makes more sounds than I can use right now, playing it is a joy. I was in the middle of a song and adjusted a tone, sounded amazing. I still don't like the looks, but the TONE is tremendous. The best Bass I've ever played.

I was going to buy one of these basses, I found one for a good price in a nearby city. Then I saw this video. Initially, I called off the sale - then decided to go through with it for the challenge. The Bass came with a few sharp fret ends, but that's an easy fix. There's lots of travel left in the truss rod adjustment, so that's good. As far as Intonating the B string? - Just like Milko's it was off. You could definitely hear it playing octaves on the B string above the 20th. That the whole point of these single cut basses - to have a fully functional playing area up there. Rather than drilling a new hole and tapping thread into it as Milko did (I don't have the tools nor skill) - I took the advice from the guy on the Thomann site - and extended the slot in the saddle with a needle file about 8MM. It now Intonates perfectly. It took about 10 minutes of filing - I used a needle file set from Amazon ($10). I used some of the flatter needle files to finish off the slot so the screw and washer fit The intonation is now perfect.

Leuke video, het lijkt allemaal zo simpel, maar er komt toch nog wel een hoop bij kijken.

I solved this issue with 2 similar basses of mine with the nut. You see, when most mass produced basses are made, they leave a high string action in the nut, i think because its easier to lower than to raise it. But it messes with the intonation. So, a luthier can cut deeper into the nut, and its amazing what it did to the intonation. My bridge was maxed out and after that it went almost half-way foward.

Can you please do a follow up video , where you show how you fix the bridge...?

Leuk gebracht👍

Fraaie instructie. Bedankt!

Hopelijk vindt men dit leerzaam. Bedoeld voor de beginner en om op the Halen.

Stumbled upon this video some 2 years ago. I'm using a Cort A5 Custom Z, purchased new in 2008. Didn't pay too much attention to the intonation of the B-string, it was just a hair off and I didn't play that high on the B anyway. But, after watching this video I fiddled a bit more on the bridge to get the intonation spot-on, but I couldn't get it 100% right. Long story short, the adjustment screw could be tightened fully and there was still about 5 mm of travel on the the particular saddle that couldn't be used. Luckily I had some small bolts, nuts and shims lying around. Put a nut around the adjusment screw and hey presto, now I could fully use the travel distance for the saddle. Now it was possible to intonate the B-string 100% right. Playing chords high on the fretboard now sound clean. My personal opinion is that the bridge and/or saddle needs to be mounted a bit further away from the neck. For example, the Yamaha BB435 has an offset bridge position for the B-string. =================================== Op z'n Hollands: met aangedraaide stelschroef kon je het zadeltje van de B-snaar nog verder naar achteren duwen, maar deze werd dan door een veer weer teruggeduwd. Dus een klein moertje onder de kop van de stelschroef gezet zodat deze verder naar achteren stond. Het zadeltje kan nu volledig naar achteren worden ingesteld, precies wat de B-snaar nodig heeft.

Comprate otro bajo je

Maybe you should try the Ibanez SRSC 805. No problems on this bass and dies look very similar to the bass by Cort.

So does the 12th fret intonate properly on the B string. Anything to me above the 12th fret on a B string is mud unless you’re spending top dollar. I could live with it up to the 12th fret. I just ordered one now. I’m almost thinking about canceling my order. I wish I had seen this sooner. By the way, excellent video. Also what about the weight. No one talks about the weight. Did I mention I’m getting older? 😂👍✌️

I bought the cort a6 the very first edition production about 20 years ago, the one with double bridge (warwick like) and I think its has the same B string high intonation problem . So about not reading all the comment below, so did the Cort responded ?

I assume it's normal for these basses to have a mediocre setup. They give you so much stuff on a bass for so little that it's just expected, great review!

hey guys, has anybody got a recent experience with this bass? Have the manufacuter improved these issues through the years?

Would the intonation issue be solved using a EADGC tuning instead of BEADG ? I'm planning on getting a 5 strings with the high C tuning, so I would not care if the B string could get intonated right.

I guess all these cool looking basses under 1.5k have certain issues...I have a Ibanez 5 string with some similar problems

Great video, Have you manage to solve this problem ?? Greetings from Switzerland !!

Thanks!

Love this, The spirit of the blues!

Eerlijk review, zeer verhelderend om ook eens de minpunten te horen, ze zijn anders duur genoeg en met name de intonatie zou spot on moeten zijn, ik neem aan dat je hem hebt geretourneerd? Ik stond ook op het punt om de Fanfret versie aan te schaffen maar ik wacht er nog even mee.

I was thinking about buying this bass until i saw this video. Thank you so much!

How is the bass after 1 year now? My upper frets needed leveling after 7 months,nothing much besides that,fresh wood moves a lot

Thank you for a review. Im looking at multiscale version and it's really hard to find some honest reviews without a guy playing slap for 5 minutes.
