jynxterstu Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Hi All, I have just bought a 2nd hand Cort artisan ( C4 ) off ebay ( seems to be a pattern in this section ) i am happy with it, however when i plugged it in to the amp it isn't as loud as my biginner cheapo base. I have changed the battery as It was dead on me due to me not knowing to take the lead out when not in use ! I have checked the wires all seem ok. it has mighty mite pick ups which i have also checked the wires. has any one got any ideas ? thanks Jynxter !
