Frequently Asked Questions

The miniswitch toggles between the active Markbass preamp and the passive wiring, offering a warmer, more vintage tone when passive is engaged.
The neck has a comfortable 'C' shape, generally accommodating a wide range of hand sizes, but it's slightly thinner than a vintage 'U' shape.
Cort's build quality is surprisingly good for the price point; the hardware is solid, and the neck alignment is typically excellent, though it won't match the meticulous detail of a premium-priced instrument.
