AM1 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Anyone got one of these? What's that effect on the "funk" switch, is it an envelope filter??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Yup. Envelope filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the link for anyone else interested: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfha46FzZ6E"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfha46FzZ6E[/url] 1:40 with the bridge pickup only and funk switch on - nice sound! If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay for the bass, you can PM me if you prefer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I played one of these in a local music shop a few years ago - couldn't put it down & [i]almost[/i] ended up taking it home... I've subsequently watched a few on Ebay & they don't go for huge sums - I suppose because Cort ain't a hugely fashionable brand. Jon.

Jon.[/quote] Which is strange considering they're one of the best brands going inside their price range. If I hadn't picked up my Status I'd have gotten an A4 without a doubt, and my C4 Ltd. is a top class backup/pub gig bass. That demo video sounds brutally compressed though, ouch.

GreeneKing Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 There a Cort Custom Shop in Mad Monks in Kendal - over £1k and very nice indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen the odd silver one and also a one like mine that doesn't have the TM Stevens logo on the front. I will say however that the settings for the funk switch are really really sensitive...a couple of grub screw thingies on the back. Seriously it's taken me a couple of years to get it right !
