I love an ACG (a well documented fact!) but I do not like the Moth! If I were playing blindfolded, then they're fine, but aesthetically I am not a fan! Luckily Alan builds many a different shape, all of which I do like, and I'm sure someone out there looks at these Moths thinking the opposite of me. Tis the beauty of all being different!

Hi all, Up for sale is my Cort A6 bass, these are absolutely excellent 6 string basses that punch well above their weight. I'm not just saying the because I'm selling one, if you look at any thread over the years on here by anyone else selling one you'll likely see my comment about how good they are! I've had 4 of these over the years, I keep coming back to them because they pumch well above the price they sell for. One of the bridge saddles isnt original, for some reason the prior owner removed it and use the bass as a 5 string then lost the saddle! Apart from the minor visual difference, it functions exactly as the others. This was the last bass in, so needs to be the first bass out. I need a little extra cash to finish off some major house renovations we've got going on! £400 posted in the UK or £380 collected. Below is a fresh batch of photos taken a moment ago! Any questions, please ask! Russ. Spec Below: - *Scale Length*: 34" (864mm) - *Weight*: approximately 3.4kg - *String Spacing*: 16mm - *Body*: Mahogany with figured maple top - *Neck*: 5-piece maple & wenge, neck-thru construction - *Fretboard*: Rosewood or Panga Panga, 24 frets - *Pickups*: 2 x Bartolini MK-1 humbuckers - *Electronics*: Bartolini MK-1 EQ with 3-band EQ and active/passive switch - *Bridge*: Hipshot Licenced Type-A Bridge - *Tuners*: Hipshot Ultralight Tuners-

Unfortunately it fits perfectly, therefore I'll have to give this one a miss. -
Love me a single cut bass! Binky is the ultimate single cut (in my humble opinion of course!) Aesthetically I get that they're marmite, but correctly done they look awesome. Sound wise, honestly, I really couldn't claim to hear much of a difference at all. Binky has a pair of custom spec Nordstrands paired with a bespoke to Binky 'BeePre' preamp, those two contribute 99% of the tone post-amp, maybe 1% at best could be attributed to the fact Binky is single cut.

Need to get Dispatches on the case if that program still operates!

Oil companies... What they've done over the years is complete and utter unfathomable bastardry.

I've also emailed the auction house just so they have it from multiple sources and don't consider one email to be enough to hold it from sale (which they absolutely should!) Hopefully this gets back in the hands of the owner! I'd still take this up with the Parcelforce CEO email addresses I provided, I'd expect decent compensation is due for the ridiculousness of how this ended up at an auction house! Fantastic spot though...

Excellent, I shall measure shortly and if it doesn't fit I shall take it!

Two questions sir: A: Would you sell the bridge separately? 3: What's the dimensions of the bridge including the spacing between the screw holes? Ğ: If both questions lean in a positive direction, how much for the bridge? Those are my 4 questions.

😆 Change your tone man, your tone is all wrong, the problem is the tone, if your tone was better your tone would be better... His comments have all the hallmarks of someone desperately trying to sound like they know something but are actually giving away the obvious fact they know precisely nothing! But... go sort out your tone, its your tone making your tone sound bad!

I love these basses... had 3 of the orange ones over the years. Truly one of the best 6 string basses ever made.- 1 reply

You and your crazy, radical ideas! It's so absolutely ridiculous it almost makes sense! -

That. Is stoopid! At full tension a 6 string guitar probably has north of 180lbs of tension across the strings, not sure I'd want 180lbs of tension to crush my hand! I mean innovation is mostly always cool, but this is foolishness!
