This is NOT a jazz bass!!!

Marko96 08.10.2023

If you’re going for the Jazz bass tone avoid this bass. This bass is more in the Wictor Wooten style sound. It sounds very modern with snappy highs for slap. The preamp is very high quality but the pickups compliment it superbly. The licensed hipshot tuners do their job and the 0 fret nut makes the open string notes sound the same as the fretted ones. You can set a ridiculosly low action without fretbuzz on this bass. The neck pickup is far enough in the back for you to slap comfortably. And the best part - it’s feather weight! 3.8 kilograms! However mine came with the pickups wired out of phase so i had to correct that using my soldering iron, which is something to note.

All in all, a decent bass for the price! But if your going for the jazz bass tone this will not toot your horn! Fortunately I have use for it in my sonic arsenal. Would buy again!

Great sounding bass once I fixed the wiring

Mwelte 01.03.2023

Overall the sound of this bass is great once I got the wiring figured out.
From the factory, the neck and bridge pickups were wired out of phase. The blend pot in the center position would make the sound completely die. I opened the control cavity and checked the schematics. Lo and behold the neck pickup was wired backward. I flipped the wiring and the sound was back to being what I expected out of Bartolini gear. Overall it is a good guitar. There are some minor finish issues but nothing worth sending it back. The internal soldering leaves a little to be desired. It is just globbed on everything. If your sound is weak with both pickups on, check the wiring. You want white and yellow wires going to the blend pot, no red wires.

Cort Elrick Super Preis-Leistung

codefree 06.03.2023

Dieser Bass hält ohne weiteres mit den weitaus teureren Bässen der renommierten Marken mit, die das doppelte oder dreifache kosten (Ausstattung, Verarbeitung Klangqualität). Ich bin einfach nur begeistert.
