I paid u$s 370 for this bass in USA. Basically, the same price range that you pay a Squier. Quite honestly, this bass sound, looks and has featues of an instrument around 800 - 1000- bucks. IDK how Cort put this thing together for such cheap price, but kudos to them, I am a new Cort fan now.
Cort takes the parts designed for other brands and builds one in their own name, sub par wages and all. And they're REALLY good at building, despite the rock bottom costs and materials. My first bass was an '01 Squier PJ made by Cort in Indonesia. It sticks plays decently with a few adjustments.
Just jammed one of these at the local shop today, was initially there eyeing up a Squier Vintage Modified J-Bass, but tried a bunch of others out including this. All I can say is DAMN that's a lot of bass for the money! The feel of it alone blows everything in it's price range out of the water! Will likely be going back to purchase very soon! ($750 New Zealand Dollars for this vs $799 for the Squier)
Yeah man! Sorry it took me two weeks to reply to your comment... Did you get the Cort? I like a Squier, but honestly if this is on the table it’s a no brainier. Way more versatile and honestly just put together better, and made of better parts. 💫
@@helloitsnicko Haha that's all good dude, cheers for the response! I was also very interested in a wicked LTD with a spalted maple top, but this sounds better, feels better, is 3/4 of the price, and the active/passive switch gives it more versatility, so I've made my decision. The Cort is going on hire purchase now that I've started a new job this week! Think I'll re-visit that LTD in the 5 string version further down the line
I haven't read the comments below, but there are probably more maple trees in Canada than the rest of the world combined. The Canadian Flag has a Maple Leaf on it lol Canadian Maple is probably better known around the world than any other maple out there haha
@bedroombassist most inexpensive instruments seem to be made in these locations, but I find that the quality if manufacture and care put into the assembly of those from Indonesia to be much better. Or, perhaps it all comes down to a killer set-up. Still, the price on an instrument like this is pretty killer. :)
holy crap that cheap! usually companies would price a bass like that at around the 1500 price range, but 360 pounds? (That's roughly about maybe 380 to 400 in US dollars) that's an amazing price range
Right!! They do another outrageously low-priced bass called the A6, a 6 string for under £700. But, similar to this, the woods used & the electronics are verrrrrrrry good. Check that out if you get a sec. Awesome. I love Cort!!
Wow well first of all, thank you for your kind words! In this era of my video production (lol) I used to go: Bass > Amp > Amp line out into IK Multimedia iRig 2. Then I took that audio and put it straight into my video editing software. I don't think I put any compression on it or anything, which is another testament to the quality of this bass! Cheers. 🐳
I bought this bass second hand for 290 I Love it, I had great experiences with Cort guitars too. Cheap and a class above anything from other main brands for the same price. (Jackson, epiphone, ecc.)
Vladolf_Hitlin All have the same pickups & preamp... From what I can tell, The “C” series is basically the same bass as the “A&B” series, minus the Hipshot tuners, bridge, Roasted maple fretboard & 1 piece swamp ash body... And the B&C series are also bolt on necks... “I think the A series might be neck through body??” So, I would say basically non are better than the others, only “different” if that helps?

Michael, Andrey, I can only assume it’s the way I used to record the bass audio in these vids. Sorry about that. Hopefully it didn’t ruin your impressions of the bass and its sound! Cos it’s genuinely very nice.
I made a mistake. I am eternally sorry. I will give myself 40 lashings every morning, noon and night until I perish. If only you could have found out such information yourself via an internet search engine. Oh hang on, you clearly did that, meaning you posted your comment purely to make me feel bad. I hope you feel better now for posting it; it's just not that deep mate. Ps. Re the volume, I don't remember such an issue. Maybe it had a flat battery or the pickups were positioned too low into the body. Either way please for the love of god have a nice day.
@@helloitsnickoWow, that's quiet a hostile reaction for a REMARK I made: I just find it weird you overlooked the passive mode altogether... I hope you feel better soon! Have a nice day nonetheless :)
@@karlzosel1464 Your comment read as purely snarky and rubbed me up the wrong way. It was clearly pointed, you must see the way you wrote it was not just a "remark". I apologise for getting annoyed but this video is nearly 8yrs old and it was a minor mistake for which you clearly found the correct info. Anyway, legitimately, all the best.
Just goes to show how you're ripped off by some of the other companies, charging sometimes over 2000 euros for basses with similar specs (or even less quality specs!). I bought a B5 Cort bass in 2009 or so, similar specs to this one but with swamp ash body, back then it cost me 800 euros I think. And like you say, they are really well built

The chances of the Squier and the Cort coming out of the same factory are very high.
If you think the bridge pickup is too loud at the centre point then simply lower the pickup. Its a very easy fix.
When the screw is pointing up it does make a good tone, that's the tone most working bass players would use for most of their music.
Sounds beautiful at any setting. Nice review.
cort is a big name killer
I agree man!
Sounds a lot like an Aria SB1000, nice!
I don't know that bass, I'll have to check it out! Fun fact - my second bass ever was an Aria Pro II! :)
I am still studying the cort, but when i plays the sound is very good for 5 strings Bass cort.
Yo, I know you are all digging this bass... What about that tshirt suntan though??
BedroomBassist was so focused on the bass I didn't realise
Awesome bass!!!
Oh it is!! Truly incredible for the price. :)
How would you compare it to an ibanez SR500 or a Marcus Miller M3 ?
SR500 is a bit better I think. It's tone is more less equal to Cort B4.
The Washburn Taurus is around the same price and sounds awesome
good looking bass!
The Cort semi hollowbody guitars are great too. so playable and sound great.
That's cool! I've never played one of those. Cort's consistently high level of quality at the low prices they charge still kinda blows my mind.
Nice sounding bass
+Alec M Yes of course! I just left that on as I don't own the bass and the shop hadn't sold it yet!
I haven't read the comments below, but there are probably more maple trees in Canada than the rest of the world combined. The Canadian Flag has a Maple Leaf on it lol Canadian Maple is probably better known around the world than any other maple out there haha
I just bought this bass and i love it. I was also able to snag it for under $400.

Hey mate. I know its been a year but hows the bass going after a year. Also as stupid as this sounds does the label around the knobs come off

Would there be much difference between this and the newer OVMH model? Specs are near identical apart from the top wood and about 200 euros right now
same question here!
I'm afraid I can't answer that, fellas. Haven't played the OVMH to compare. :)
Has anyone been able to find a gig bag or case to fit this Cort C4 Plus?
What's that noise is coming while you were plucking the strings?
Is it of guitar or any other circuitry noise?
it is from recording gear, i had that happen to me as well
Hello Promenade, if you take the battery out, the bass still function on passive mode?
yes
Just want the bass (yeah ... already have that suntan)
Chuck Norris Thanks for stopping by, Mr. Norris sir
BedroomBassist My pleasure !
I bought this bass second hand for 290 I Love it, I had great experiences with Cort guitars too.
Cheap and a class above anything from other main brands for the same price. (Jackson, epiphone, ecc.)
I could not agree more.
Density in wood arguably may change the tone and sustain even in an electric instrument. This is however still under dispute! hahahahaha!
I don't need it.
I don't need it.
I really don't need it...
I NEEEEED IT! 😭
i can't find any musicshop to buy this bass :-(

Weigh of the Cort C4?
I googled it for you and most places say 5kg.
I'm guessing it's around €300-€400
where do you get this in USA ?
batolini pickups. made in korea. high quality and low price. best of best for all level
Does the Blend knob and the EQ have a notch when they turn, so that you know when you are «flat» ? Like in the Yamaha's ?
DaRaven yes they do
in terms of sound quality, playability and quality, which one is better:
Cort a4
Cort b4
Cort c4
Vladolf_Hitlin
All have the same pickups & preamp...
From what I can tell, The “C” series is basically the same bass as the “A&B” series, minus the Hipshot tuners, bridge, Roasted maple fretboard &
1 piece swamp ash body...
And the B&C series are also bolt on necks... “I think the A series might be neck through body??”
So, I would say basically non are better than the others, only “different” if that helps?
anybody know the typical weights on these?
359 euro in italy

I can hear some digitalish/metallic HF noise mixed to the bass guitar sound
Michael, Andrey, I can only assume it’s the way I used to record the bass audio in these vids. Sorry about that. Hopefully it didn’t ruin your impressions of the bass and its sound! Cos it’s genuinely very nice.
It's better that a sire v7 or m3?
My apologies, I can’t answer that! Never played a Sire yet. 🙂
i have sire v7..........is an destroyer bass.........this cort, i can't say is much better....this review is not conclusive, i think
I'd say 800-900€
Better Cort c4 plus or Sire v3 for slap?
Sorry Chris I've never played a Sire!
lejos mejor Sire V3....!!!
how much is it?
Arturo Aldana around 380 euro
It sounds like a bass from the 70's, very nice :)
My guess is $800 Canadian
Nate Leney 380 euro
lol i guessed in euro wich is even ore on point
This vs B4 plus, which one is better?
Where was it made?
+jovino bunny Either Indonesia, Korea or China. That's where Corts are made but I'm not sure about this particular one!
Mine is from Indonesia
i looove Cort Basses
i got 2
Sweeeeet. Do you have a C4 Plus?
no i wish
i have an Action 4 fretted, fell in love at first contact
