I see that this is quite an old video, but I’m going to throw in my comments because the Action PJ is still available in the marketplace. I am a student of bass - not an experienced player. I bought an Action PJ in open pore walnut finish as my first bass. I started taking lessons, and participated in a number of jams with fellow students lead by my teacher. After a couple of years I decided to treat myself with a shiny new toy. I bought a Fender American Performer Jazz Bass. I love it. I smile every time I look at it and every time I play it. BUT: the Cort neck is definitely easier to play, the Cort seems to weigh half of what the Fender weighs, probably because of soft wood in the body, the Cort is more forgiving regarding string muting - the strings you’re not playing don’t seem to pick up the vibrations the way the Fender does. When I p,ay the Cort I usually keep the bridge pickup off and the neck pickup wide open because it really sounds a lot like a Fender P Bass in that configuration. So, I love my Fender, and I still love my Cort that cost 25% of what the Fender did. And I sure like the light weight. I highly recommend the Cort in your collection.
Good to see fresh comments under this model. Im looking for smth really light for my injured back and came across Cort recommendations. Only one thing is to choose which one bc Plus in most reviews sounds a little bit farting, maybe of course it's the question of their setup or mine or proper tuning etc, so judging only by videos someone's sound is a controversial thing. Btw I saw the same opinions like yours about P and useless J. What would you say about PJ and Plus if you had any thoughts on it? Thanks
@@beecrispy Don’t get me wrong - the J pickup is not useless. You can get a lot of tones by blending both pickups and adjusting the tone. It’s just that I have a Fender J, and the only thing I can’t do is make the J sound like a P Bass. And I love the sound of a P Bass. I think a PJ setup gives a person tremendous flexibility. Now, about the PJ Plus… the biggest difference I see when I read about it is the fact that it has active pickups rather than passive. I’ve never played a bass with active pickups, and I am definitely not a good enough player to distinguish subtle differences or nuances between the two systems. Anyway, the Cort quality is very good, and to me the weight and overall feel of the instrument is very nice. I highly recommend Cort.
@@rickporayko880 ok, thank you for reply. I know the difference but noticed it’s not common to see the active one, and as I said, in many videos I don’t like what I hear. But Ive heard you. Thanks again
@@okezsoke Hey buddy, I got this bass last Sunday and I can’t keep my hands off it, it is awesome to play (even though i suck). I think it’s a great first bass, and definitely a best buy. I have never done this sort of “review” so hopefully I sounded like i know what i an talking about
i have the standard one (passive) and it has lasted me 2 years, im now planning on changing some things like the tuning pegs, the bridge, maybe pickups, etc. but its a killer bass, i recommend it if you want to start because it will last even with gigs and everything, and with age it sounds warmer and better than it sounds out of the shell, 10/10
Well said ! I have 2 CORT Basses (GB44 with a MM single 'bucker and a GB74GIG) The GB 44 has a very flat but still fast neck and the GB74 has a beautiful jazz-style bass neck. I was blown away by my GB44 whcih I have had for over a decade. So, I had no problem buying the GB74..."The Bass World.com" video review helped ;-)
@@maqa-pubgmobile4168 the plus has more features, but for a beginner, you're really gonna do amazingly with the Action PJ, that's the one i have and i've used it for gigs and recordings and it does wonders, really recommend that one, but if u can go for the plus, go ahead
Awesome basses. Since I've bought my Action-A I've tried some other basses and I still didn't found anything that would beat it in versatility in use, it's overall excellent universal guitar - if you want it to sound low - then it will, if you want it pretty bright - no problem. You want to slap? Turn it to neck pickup, and it'll have a great, rich punch. You want to pick it? Give the bridge one a try - would be as bright, as most of the jazz basses, sound even better, when distorted (brilliant for the Lemmy sound-like). I love mine and I would never, ever sell it. Many of my friends, which are actual musicians (not the bedroom bassists, like me) - even my befriended luthier - were astonished by it sound and overall quality for it's price. I'd really recommend them for any beginner and intermediate players.
Hi, do you think active EQ is really a "plus" in terms of versatility? How does it works, Pu's are passive right? Without battery it still sounds, but no tone?
I also worked in a shop and sold loads of Cort Action basses to beginners. They were the best value starter bass ever! Great fun to play out of the box.
@@hendyp6325 well, I haven’t played the latest builds of either so I can’t make a good judgement...but...when I used to work in a music shop, the Cort Action basses were cheaper and better value than the comparison Yamaha basses for me. They had a nice clear open sound and were great to play right out of the box. It’s been 10 years though so don’t take my word for it. One thing though...I didn’t like the more expensive Cort basses so much....it was that cheap Action model that I liked. I thought they were a comfortable bass to sit and noodle on too. Best thing to do if you can is go try some basses before buying and see what you like.
The Swiss army bass. Just bought one as my first active and it is stellar. I have a feeling cort will only grow in popularity and respect in the coming years!
Just bought a open pore walnut Action PJ based on this review (and Bassbuzz). It was my first (experimental) departure from vintage Fender-style into modern-bass, got it pretty cheap, feels great, it's really of the weight it says in the review and its 7,5 cm shorter then my old bass, very thin neck, feels almost like a short-scale. Finally I can go to jams without having to use the car...I must fault the finish, however, electronics compartment edges are partly ragged and the body wood is rough in places (all on the backside).
@@maringonzalezeduardojosue6882 absolutely, though my answer probably comes too late... It feels smaller in the vista than a Fender, it's very light but
@@maringonzalezeduardojosue6882 i guess I'm late but for others to benefit, it's 110 cm long,squier mini p bass which is 28.6" short scale is 100 cm long so it's just 10 cm longer, but the body is probably a bit bigger. It's really good, still holds the tune, just replaced the strings for Olympia brand cause original ones went really dead.
I'm just starting to learn bass and bought the left handed version of the Action Plus, great guitar. If I have a grumble though, I'd like to see a switch to cut off the active electronics, so I don't have to remember to unplug when I've finished playing.
haha, I started playing bass with MM, Fender and Warwick but now my main bass is Cort Action V PLus - cheapest 5 string bass on the market but an awesome guitar !

yeah, im looking into buying a bass. fiddled around with bass like 15 years ago in high school, played mostly trumpet and i never took to guitar- electric or acustic. Recently re-discovered my love for punk music and playing bass punk looks fun AF. Still a novice, know a tad, literally a tad, about bass, but im ready to dive on in..... i mean, im in lockdown still and i got sweet FA to do anyway. first song to master, after learning cords and scales- basket case by green day. seems so fun to play!
i really have to say, René Flächsenhaar, you rock dude !!! Very nice basing there, kind sir. And of course, thank you very much Gregor for this review. I love watching your reviews . It really is pretty decent. Stay healthy, and stay cool. 🍻😎👌
Cool video, that was definitely not a beginner bass player, amazing! Sounds great, what was the amp used and what is your recommend beginner bass amp, I think it will have a 12inch speaker or 15,am I correct? I like the Fender Rumble 100.
I've heard that CORT has produced the lower priced guitar and bass for other big brands. But when I've heard people talk about CORT it sounds like " Ewww, It's Cort..." I wonder why?
Thinking of getting one of these as 1st time player. In the review you mentioned you used to bundle these with an amp - can I ask which amp as obv I'll need one
cort never let me down it just that im not a fan of a modern/semi modern design but i once owned a 2 cort bass the GB series to be exact they served me well for the last 2 years though i already sold them both and now i have a japanese tokai bass i can say that the craftmanship or the quality is almost the same take note these GB series are not even the top of the line bass i hope that in the future i can buy another bass from cort maybe a vintage set up or lets see hahaha cort has a lot to offer anyway in a cheaper price than the "pioneer brand"
Hi, they both seem really cool and well made, but what about nut width? Can't find the info anywhere. Is the neck comfortable? It seem to be quite wide on the upper frets
Hesitant between this trbx 174, the ibanez gio gsr200 , marcus miller v3 and the cort action bass+ as my 1st instrument to discover bass, i am a pianist Could anyone advise please?
Any bass sounds phenomenal in Rene's hands, but these remind me of the Yamaha TRB174. If I were buying I'd probably go with a Sterling by Music Man Sub Ray 4, Squier VM, or if my budget allowed, a MIM Fender P or J bass or one of the Sire V7 or P7 basses. Can you review the new Sire P7?
By the way, one criticism of the review is that saying "no other bass manufacturers are obsessed with quality but Cort" makes this video sound more like marketing less like a review.
But is true, i looked up for a cheap guitar in every guitar store in my country and the others had some serius problems: dont intonate at all, constantly getting out of tune, potentiometer noise, and others, until i found the cort x1, man, is not perfect im not gonna lie, but they really put some real effort con construccting a good instrument
Thanks for the very nice video and great sounds. I own a Sire v7 1st gen and I love its sound, but it's so freaking heavy, I don't use the in-built preamp, and I've wanting to try out some P-style split coil neck sounds for a more vintage motown vibe (maybe even with flatwounds). These Cort basses seem much lighter, more ergonomic, and would give the versatile PJ combination. Are they much inferior to the Sire basses, specially pickups and sound? Thanks in advance for your tips and have a great day!
Hi ther great video I wanted to ask you about the Cort Curbow4 - 4-String Bass and the T54 Bass Guitar I was thinking about getting one of theas but still not sure and just wanted to ask your advice thanks
Man I want the passive so bad, I've played bass for 12 years and I have to say that some beginner basses with pj passive pickups have very good tones, at least better than cheap active basses
Eivan lml I’ve played for 20 years on and off and the action plus PJ is great, lightweight, good sound, versatile. Thinking of grabbing the 5 version. You can improve the already adequate sound by running through a preamp pedal and it sounds superb.
I have a question about the headphones shown here. I need a headphone solution to practice in my thin-walled apartment as a bass cabinet annoys my neighbors. Would these be appropriate? What brand are they? Thanks.
Cort has an assortment of a few 5 string basses. The presented models are very affordable as they only cost about 200$ each. You should check their website for more information!
Hi! Is this bass still a good option, or are there better on the market at this pricerange now? I tried to buy one at 300 AUD but they were out of stock so now I'm reconsidering. Thank you and great review!
Hi, I'm recently stuck in deciding which one to get as my first bass. The Cort Action Bass Plus or the Ibanez GSR200? Both are quality priced and spec'd. Would like to hear your thoughts on this
Cort Action Plus by far. I’ve had both and the Ibanez felt cheaper/had buzzy electronics. I’ve played for 20 years and have 2 Cort Action Plus basses, really nice players. Whatever you buy, get it set up properly. Switch the blend pot for a m/n 500k also, will prevent volume drop when both pickups are on.
Hi, why did you prefer the plus over the passive one? Can't decide between the two. Is the active preamp really a "plus" or not? Is the sound still 'natural"? Please let me know
For webcam sound, its superb. If it came into my TV (I don't have one), I'd say the production values are excellent. My complaint abut buzz/fuzz has phase away. That last riff is awesome. It got ME DANCING!
The newer models of these are more cheaply built, bent tin bridge, the first were cast, different pups too, the split P was reversed, old model had Aganthis body, shame they changed.
@@leinadatidumarp they really don't need a pick up upgrade, they are fine as they are.....lots of rubbish talked about pick ups, they are just a magnet with wire around the poles

@@andylambeth5643 and which one do u prefer between this cort action and yamaha trbx174? and why?
Cort action plus because it’s active, the Yamaha is fine however mine had a buzzy pickup.
Hi, why did you prefer the plus over the passive one? Can't decide between the two. Is the active preamp really a "plus" or not? Is the sound still 'natural"? Please let me know
What's the string spacing on these basses?
19mm
Weight 4:25
Is this a fingered bass or a pick bass?
Both
This one or YAMAHA TRBX 174 ????
Even I'm confused between the two. Please suggest !
Yamaha of course.
hello i just got my self a cort Action PJ Bass its my first time playing bass i wanted ask you if you have some lessons to learn the basic notes
Simon Goodman Search for the beginner bass lesson on talkingbass, it should get you going pretty well.
34 Scale ?
yes
That guy could make a stick with a string nailed to it sound good.
For webcam sound, its superb. If it came into my TV (I don't have one), I'd say the production values are excellent. My complaint abut buzz/fuzz has phase away. That last riff is awesome. It got ME DANCING!
I'd give that Rene a job.
+I Ate Eight Webcam sound?
It's direct audio.
Thank you
3:05 song?
just an idea, that i had in mind. thanks for watching!! all the best, rene.
Rene Flächsenhaar I could've sworn it sounded like a song already released at some point in the past.
Sounds like Seeman, but it's pretty different
I don’t hear a lot of string buzz. It’s either the player or the guitar or both.
I WOULD TO HAVE THIS BASS...
Ita a professional or not
Son buenos???
Dure 3 años usando bajos cort y nunca me dieron problemas

did you find the answer? which ones better between this action cort and trbx174? and why?
@@hendyp6325 I'm confused between the two as well. Please suggest !
@@deepakpillai6384 i dont know the answer but i bought cort
This does not sound like a Yamaha RBX170.
ese bajo si sale bueno en de 5 cuerdas
this guy has magical hands, i used to play a cort action pj and tone was a shit
I own the double j version that im selling
Suena mejor él pasivo
Seem decent enough. Too bad Cort has been doing some shady stuff at least when they were made in Korea.
What happened in Korea by Cort?
ich wollte als Wiedereinsteiger 500,-€ für einen Bass ausgeben und bin mit 300,- und einem Cort Action PJ nach Hause gekommen.
Sehr gut 👍
I wish i could play bass, but i'm a useless lazy piece of trash with PJ bass)
The newer models of these are more cheaply built, bent tin bridge, the first were cast, different pups too, the split P was reversed, old model had Aganthis body, shame they changed.
How do you rate the pickups?
Which one is better? The old (reversed split pups) or the new one?
@@leinadatidumarp they really don't need a pick up upgrade, they are fine as they are.....lots of rubbish talked about pick ups, they are just a magnet with wire around the poles
Ahahahhahahahaha
hm... Fender rule! Don't "meat" in this sound..Because "Cort".
+John Forest don't meat? I'm a vegetarian 😉
BassTheWorld.com I'am so sorry! I call "meat", I talking about "groovy sound". And something... Never make fun of someone who speaks broken English. It means they know another language))..best regards
Suena a pedos
Tu boca
My first bass
