Cort B4 FL MHPZ

Although its own package was barely adequate, Thomann took care and provided a sturdy box. Setup of the bass was not bad, but not perfect, I had to adjust the string height at the nut as well as the saddle, and released a a tension of truss rod to achieve a slight bow.

I chose between this and ibanez SRH500 semi-hollow, but glad that I have this Cort now, because of the Bartolini pickup is has, which gives additional sounds, fat and jazzy sounds. The only piezo pickup just couldnt give you a variety of sounds, no matter what you adjust.

One minor problem I had with this bass - on the front side it had sharp 90 degree angles, which makes it inconvenient to lay an arm on it. But with the help of a small plane and a file I solved the problem, made a bevel on all front surface of the guitar (5mm wide), and covered it with linseed oil.

So this Cort B4 FL MHPZ is now looks perfect, plays perfect, and feels perfect, just ideal jazz/blues tool for me!
