Cort Artisan B4/B5

[Guest Lee Van Cleef]

ried a B4 in a shop the other week, whilst looking for a first time bass, and absolutely loved noodling around on it. I have no experience of playing bass so i was hardly playing it, but the movement up and down the neck was as easy as pie and it felt incredibly natural in shape for. I just wondered if anyone here had any experience of them and could tell me more about the technical gubbins that is way over my head?

Cheers.

I had the fretless version of the four string for a while. They're really nice basses, and quite underated, so consider buying secondhand (you might get a good deal). They're active, with a good, functional preamp (mine was a fishman pre IIRC) and I think Bartolini soapbar pickups. erm, what else do you need to know?

That's cool... in that case, anyone got a B5 they wanna sell?

Think Schnozzalee has some damn nice Corts for sale/trade

I have a Cort B5, i love it, actually prefer playing it to the Thumb i have, sound is always very full, sounds great at drop C

I traded one of my basses for an Artisan Ltd 4 string fretless he had....lovely looking and very well made bass and yes, the neck is something to behold, but a bit to modern and dare i say, exuberant for me , so if anyone's interested drop me a PM.
