If you’re in the market for a premium base, at a low cost, then the Cort C4h BKS Artisan bass is the perfect solution.
This gig ready bass would make an ideal addition to any band’s tone. This is in part because the pickups offer a crisp and driving tone that sits well in a mix.
Body
The body of the Cort C4H BKS is made of Mahogany and has a Pearloid binding. The contrast between the black satin finish with the white Pearloid bind is striking and instantly noticeable.
Too often black guitars don’t stand out from the crowd. Black is a generic colour that seldom screams “notice me” when on an instrument. And while the tone is the most important element of any instrument, having something that looks as great as it sounds is always a bonus.
It is Corts attention to small things like this that set them apart from their competition. They are not just making instruments, they are advancing their designs while they do so.
Electronics and Hardware
For the Cort C4H BKS, Cort didn’t just drop in generic pickups. They have used premium Bartolini active pickups! They have put an MBA1P-4 in both the bridge and the neck position.
The bass has been complimented with a push/pull volume knob, a blend knob, a 2band knob and a mid booster switch. This will allow you to dial in the perfect tone for every song you play.
To ensure that the bass maintains tuning stability, Cort has used a hipshot bridge. Hipshot bridges are well known to be able to comfortably take a beating and still stay in tune.
The guitar comes from the factory with .45-105 gauge strings, but you can comfortably go to a higher gauge is you like.
In conclusion, this is the perfect bass if you are looking to upgrade. Cost wise, the Cort C4H BKS won’t break the bank, and you will end up with a premium performance instrument.
