This one is all black with white binding around the front of the arched top. Not arched like a carved jazz guitar top, but a gentle arch across the entire body, giving the bass a thinner edge thickness and contour. It’s sleek, clean and contemporary with a nod to Rickenbacker basses of years past. Well balanced both sitting and strapped on standing, and not heavy. The Pickups are EMGHZ soap bars and active. The tone is typical to EMG’s and has that mid range clarity they are known for.
Tone shaping on board is varied enough to allow for changing up at the guitar.

The battery has a separate compartment from the control cavity, and no screw drivers are needed to change out the dead battery at show time.
The neck is maple with a satin finish and a slim profile, while the two octave finger board is rosewood. The dressing of the frets was tidy and smooth. The tuners and bridge are good quality, and won’t need to be swapped out as an upgrade. The set up of the bass was where someone would dismiss the instrument. It’s not a matter of shoddy work, but more of a cost consideration. It takes a fair amount of time to dial in any bass really, and it is the most subjective aspect from one player to the next. These companies competing for your purchase at the price tag forgo the expense of factory set up. Nonetheless, the bass plays well enough out of the case, just not set up for speed or finesse. Some attention from a skilled technician will have your Cort in fine playing condition and without much effort or expense. All run of the mill set up work and well worth it. The painted finish was absolutely flawless, and the tolerances on all milling was extremely tight and precise.
Electronics: EMG B-30 EQ / 1vol, 1blend, 2band. This 5-string bass has many features found on more upscale instruments, and sports some of the styling too. The body is carved in a stylized version of a carved arched top jazz guitar, but in a way that has some real depth and contour. The clear finish and star burst tobacco shading were smooth and well executed, again flawless. Body style is post modern Fender Jazz, but compact and thin, with good balance and low weight. The neck is maple, satin finished, slim and comfortable, and the rosewood two octave fingerboard has fret markers only on the top edge, giving this bass a clean understated modern look with classic lines. The fit and finish of hardware and milling were superb. The electronics are Bartolini mk-1 active soap bar pickups, with typical 5-knob configuration, an active bypass switch and with a separate battery compartment. One nice feature is the recessed knobs in the body, keeping the profile clean and the knobs low but easily accessible. The headphone jack can be used to practice late at night or in quiet environments, making the CM20B a versatile amp that can be used in variety of playing situations.The sound was true to Bartolini pickups and the tone shaping range was far and wide.
