    Cort basses have the best necks. Two things that keep me from buying another one:

    - Their top basses all have weird colours and wood finishes.
    Just make an awesome passive bass in white or black!

    I love this thing!! I've been looking for a 24 fret super jazz bass to replace my Bacchus. This ticks every box EXCEPT the frets, I feel like I can never justify $1k+ bass purchases if they don't tick every single box on my list. For those that don't care about 24 frets though they're in for a treat, this is the best priced super jazz I've seen in a while

      Is a 35" neck and well constructed...that is a good recipe for a good 5th string...But sadly you have to have big hands otherwise you'll be in trouble...

    • @meiji...
      @meiji... Рік тому

      I had an Ibanez 35" BTB for a long time and sold it for a well constructed, roasted maple neck Sire Marcus Miller V5 which is 34", both single coils (granted, the BTB had split singles) .
      All I can say is that I kinda regret this decision because I really can't make the low B (and the E string to some extent) to sound as tight and as thick as my BTB without making the sound too artificial, even with some HEAVY parametric EQing .
      I also tried changing string gauges many times, but I always ended up with some compromise of some sort.
      Heavy B string (135) = Open string and the 3 first frets sounded great but the rest of the fretted notes sounded like straight A$$.
      Light B string (120)= Notes starting from the 5th fret sounded ok but anything lower than that sounded like a floppy mess, even with an attempt at adjusting my technique.
      Eventually found a happy medium with a 125 B but overall clarity is meh.
      On my BTB, this wasn't much of a problem. 130 B sounded perfect on it, but you could even put a 120 B and still have a tight open B while having superb definition on the upper frets.
      I recently played my dad's Sire M2 which has a 35" scale and double humbuckers and this might be the best low B string I ever played, sounding even more defined than my BTB even though it has a non finished plain maple neck unlike my V5.
      Just my 2 cents, but I'm convinced that scale length, then pickups, and then maaaaaaybe construction have an influence on how a B string sounds like ALL ACCROSS the fretboard.
