A More Mature View on Cort
Few months back, I uploaded a post in which I was very angry about how the Cort's owner, Park, moved his guitar plant from Korea to Indonesia ignorant of the plight of the Cort workers in the Korean factories. Since then, I have developed a more mature view of the events, and although I am very unhappy about the plight of the Korean workers, I faced reality and accepted that Park's decision was a rather unkind, but a sensible one. In fact, there are lots of bass guitar companies which don't produce bass guitars in their home countries, so Park's decision is more acceptable to me now.
The main reason I just said this is because... I recently bought a Cort bass guitar myself. *blush* *blush*
Although I'd rather have bought a bass guitar from some other company, there were no other bass guitar which had the qualities that I needed(lightweight, non-jazz bass guitar, and of course good sound quality) that met my budget(around $500). As a consolation to my embarrassment, I bought a Cort B4 bass guitar that was made in Korea not in Indonesia(luckily there were few Korean Cort bass guitars left). And... what can I say, my bass guitar sounds great, just as I expected. The only hitch is that the battery connection for the pre-amp is a bit unstable, but on the whole, I'm very pleased. If I have time, I'll try to upload some pictures of my new bass guitar later.
