Artisan B4 | Cort Bass Guitar Review





Cort Artisan B4 review - under rated Korean "gem"(so cheap but so good)

Many bassists love the growl and the power of Warwick bass guitars. The only problem is that Warwick bass guitars cost a fortune - usually $4000 plus. Cort B4, which is almost 10 times cheaper than Warwick bass guitars - at around $500 - is really a wonder. Although Cort B4 doesn't manage to equal Warwick bass guitars, it gets somewhere close. This is incredible, as Cort B4 is so so cheap.

Specs are identical to that of A4, except that B4 doesn't have a neck through construction. You can see my review of Cort A4.

Being an active bass(it has a preamp in the guitar), Cort B4 is able to produce really powerful sounds compared to other bass guitars, and it is only beaten by Warwick bass guitars really. But just compare their price tag... B4 is simply amazing. The reason for this cheap price is that Cort bass guitars a mass produced in factories, but despite this, Cort bass guitars all have flawless quality with excellent factory settings.

As with Cort A4, Cort B4 is able to produce a variety of tones thanks to its Bartolini 3 band EQ preamp. Just fool around with those knobs and you will find the tone you want. This bass guitar is suited for any type of genres of music.

Cort B4 is a great bass guitar. At such a cheap price, the bass guitar manages to almost flawlessly copy Warwick bass guitars. At this cheap price, no bass guitar can beat the Cort B4.
