Pro-SCM setup . . . the next level
The Cort SJB5F is a beautiful looking Acoustic Bass guitar and it sounds great.
The materials used and overall build quality are top shelf but the reviews will tell you that they are not perfect.
As with almost every brand name bass or guitar – and we include the biggest brands in this – they are setup to a tolerance deemed acceptable by the manufacturer. Newbies almost always don’t know the difference and experienced players should know better.
The truth is that most guitar manufacturers can’t afford to invest much effort into the final setup process. A professional setup involves precision – precision requires time and, time is money. The major manufacturers are focused on providing instruments at prices that the market will bear. Add in the fact that every player’s requirements are unique and you have something that is simply impossible to provide at the factory level.
When you buy a guitar or bass from southcoastmusic that includes a Pro-SCM setup, you buy confidently knowing that an experienced technician has not only “checked” your guitar, it has been adjusted and set it up to play at its best. Frets dressed if required, rolled fret ends, shaped and height adjusted nut and saddle, intonation, pickup height – whatever we feel is needed to provide the best playing experience is sorted. If you have a particular request – let us know and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.
As a paid service, you should expect to pay at least $250 – it’s included in our asking price.
Ultimately, its your call. We know that you can buy cheaper however, we sincerely believe that you won’t buy better. Our loyal, return customers agree.
