This past Feb I came across a mint 4 string with Barts and I grabbed it. It is easily one of the best basses I own. These were built by Cort at their Seoul mother plant in the same line as their Artisan models and it shows. Fit and finish are first rate. There were a variety of pickup options incl piezos and midi. Mine has Bart BC4CBC's with a Cort 3 band pre. It plays beautifully with spacing a hair wider than std. I had considered changing the pre but no longer. It has quite grown on me, modern, clean, throaty..
I think these are a steal. Maybe not for all, but I couldn't be happier with mine.
