not my kind of instrument but I can say that Bartolini pickups are often great (especially for jazz, fusion ⌠think soft and refined music) and that every single Cort I played were incredibly good for its price tag.

I guess that explains why itâs not your kind of instrument.

Note that many Ibanez and ESP metal basses have Bartoliniâs too

Hello!
I wanted to tie this thread nicely for the future readers if anyone stumbles upon it looking for this bass!
In the night right after ordering the Open Pore Natural color I had an epiphany saying me that once again I did not take the âleap of faithâ for getting something flashy and chose a color easier on the eyes⌠I did that a lot with motorcycles choosing the most practical one over a real flashy one.
So I decided to break âmy chainsâ so to speak and called the shop on Monday morning to see if they can entertain my whim⌠They were super cool about it even though the bass was already ordered and left the warehouse.
This little change of color costed me an extra wait of 1 week (even though warehouse and the shop are in the same city!) and I received my super flashy babe of a bass!
Initially it felt super awkward and I still donât feel comfortable about the volume control on the bass versus my ampless setup but all is great otherwise! I feel like playing it whenever I see it so the chemistry is there!

The same goes for Squire, by the way. Cor-Tek manufactures them, then slaps the Fender/Squire sticker on them.

Stingray 1.099 âŹ
Cort 499 âŹ
But i think the stingray is a superb instrument althoug the Cort is unbeatable in price regarding quality and features

Not everyone would rather have the 'ray
I mean, I like Stingrays, but out of those two, I would probably go for the Cort myself, even at the same price. Dual humbucker active/passive bass with what looks like a really playable neck? Yes please.

Wow, didnât mean to offend you.
Since it is a Cort thread, I will remove the Ray posts
