    Looks more like Olympic White to me?

    💯 God knows why it's labeled as "Artic white" I would have expected it to be brilliant white (glad it's not mind)

  2. Just put another P together with a roasted Jazz neck . Same woods as my others but for for some reason this resonates and punches fantastically well👌

    Fenders "artic white" body... Yet it's like a cream colour 🤷.

    I tried out the Cort A4 Ultra with the Fishman pickups a couple of years ago. Absolutely loved the bass itself - the neck was perfect for me (kind of jazzy width but with a flat d profile that felt sublime and instantly comfortable) the bass felt light on a strap and the body shape is really comfortable. Just didn't quite gel with the pickups/preamp though. I thought I would but they seemed to have a bit of a compressed dynamic to them.

     

    The sales guy suggested I try the next model down with Bartolinis in it (A4 Plus FMMH) and I ended up buying that one instead. It was an amazing bass and I would have another one like a shot. The sound was really alive and just worked for me - even though people slate the Barts I really liked them in that bass. They seemed to have a more open sound than the Fishmans. Here it is below in action...you'll see what I mean as the bass is quite high in the mix even though it's just camera phone footage in a pub

     

     

    I do absolutely love the look of the ultra ash tbf, but hard finding many fishman  reviews like the nordstrands.

    You say they sound a little compressed but did they have a punch to them?

  4. Iv'e always been a traditional Passive P bass (etc) type player, but ive got the urge to get my mitts onto something a little more modern.

    with my Tax rebate looming i fancy something "new" ... i know "better bang for your buck buying used" etc , and i usually do . but this time i fancy something fresh and new.

    Iv'e narrowed it down between these 2

    both have glowing reviews and both seem a lot of bass for the money.

    just wondering if anyone here has had any hands on either that the can give me a opinion , pros/negs

     

    cheers 🙂
