Sambrook Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 (edited) Cort B4 FL MHPZ, to give it it's full title. I've had this 2 or three years, thoroughly enjoyed it. I've come to the conclusion, though, that my Portamento does everything the Cort does, so putting this up for sale. 34", 38mm nut width, 42mm depth to the body. Chambered mahogany with blackwood top plus F hole and a matt finish; all makes for a beautiful result- a very handsome bass. It sounds as good as it looks, too. The magnetic pickup is clear and focused, the piezo is warm and 'big'. The two together sound too middy for my liking, but adding some piezo (tone off) to the Bartolini makes for a big fat bridge pickup tone. Bad points: No lines on the side of the neck, just dots and binding (I added white lines, now almost disappeared). Dead spot at the D on the G string. No forearm chamfer. Good points: Hipshot tuners 26 positions Thumb rest Lightweight (3.5kg on the scales, but they might not be 100% accurate. It's certainly not heavy). It's wearing a new set of anonymous rounds at the moment, but it really prefers flats, the piezo certainly. £300 gets it delivered to your (mainland) UK address, in bombproof packaging. It's in very good condition, not showroom, as I play it a lot, but never carelessly Pics: Edited June 28, 2023 by Sambrook Sold 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
