Whats every ones views on the cort curbow 4?
- Thread starter relentless
- Start date
I picked up a fretless Curbow 4 string in a guitar shop recently, and was pleasantly surprised at how good it felt and played.
Initially, I thought it felt a bit light and plasticky, but after a while I realised that it was actually very well balanced and comfortable to play. Soundwise, it was capable of producing quite a wide array of tones, but I don't profess to having got the absolute best out of it.
If I'd had the spare funds, I'd have bought it without question as a sweet little, good-value bass.

I've had a "cool blue" one for several years and have not been unhappy with it. It has several sound options and plays well. Along with a "far out" design, what else would you want. 
I owned a 5 for a few years... only complaint is that the size accentuated my belly.
Comfortable.. easy to play.. sounded good in a band mix.
There is a random issue with the phenolic fingerboard delaminating.

Search Cort Curbow, and you'll see lots of threads. Including 'Good bang for the buck'. Also a big Cort Owners club.
I had one. It wasn't that bad but there are probably better basses in the price range. I wouldn't buy one again.
