I'm looking for opinions on Cort Artisan series basses. Are they any good? Build quality? Playability? Sounds? etc.

Fender USA 62 Reissue Precision Bass in Sunburst 2003 +Sold+
Hutton replied to Hutton's topic in Basses For Sale
Sold pending the usual. -
[size=4]I have for sale my immaculate Fender USA 62 Reissue Precision Bass from 2003. This bass has had a very easy life and is therefore almost like new. The only tiny mark on the bass is on the upper bout (pictured) and measures 5mm in length. The paint is unbroken but I mention the mark for honesty and transparency sake. Any other marks from the pics are bits of fluff from the case or reflections. I have included two sets of pics, one in the sunlight and one inside so that the colour of the bass can be appreciated. Please note that this is a 62 reissue and not a later 63. The chrome covers have never been fitted and are included in the unopened case candy. The bass therefore has no drilled hole marks where the covers would be. The only unoriginal parts are the Schaller strap buttons. These can be removed and the originals fitted. In any case the originals will be included in the sale. The bass is currently strung with Thomastik TI Flatwounds. The original case is also included in the sale. There are scuff marks on the corners of the case although these are very much surface scuffs. This is a light bass and measures a smidgeon over 8lbs on my luggage scales. The serial number is: V126121 Technical Details:-[/size] [indent=1][size=4]AMERICAN VINTAGE 62 PRECISION BASS FEATURES:[/size][/indent][list] [*][size=4]Body: Alder[/size] [*][size=4]Neck: Maple, "C" Shape,(Nitrocellulose Lacquer Finish)[/size] [*][size=4]Fingerboard: Rosewood, 7.25" Radius (184mm)[/size] [*][size=4]No. of Frets: 20 Vintage Style Frets[/size] [*][size=4]Pickups: 1 Vintage Precision Bass Split Single-Coil Pickup (Middle)[/size] [*][size=4]Controls: Volume, Tone[/size] [*][size=4]Pickup: Switching None[/size] [*][size=4]Bridge: American Vintage Precision Bass[/size] [*][size=4]Machine Heads: Vintage Style Reverse Tuning Machines[/size] [*][size=4]Hardware: Nickel/Chrome[/size] [*][size=4]Pickguard: 4-Ply Brown Shell[/size] [*][size=4]Scale Length: 34" (864 mm)[/size] [*][size=4]Width at Nut: 1.750" (44.5 mm)[/size] [*][size=4]Unique Features: Vintage Styling, Synthetic Bone Nut[/size] [*][size=4]Accessories: Deluxe Brown Hardshell Case, Strap, Cable, (Chrome Bridge and Pickup Covers are Unmounted and Included in the Kit)[/size] [*][size=4]Case: Deluxe Brown Hardshell Case[/size] [/list] [size=4]The price of £1200 includes postage to UK destinations.

TRADED: 1989 Music Man Stingray Trans Red/Birdseye Maple- £950
Hutton replied to Old Horse Murphy's topic in Basses For Sale
A truly superb looking Stingray. I'm sure it sounds as good as it looks. It would be marvellous if the dog was part of the deal. Who could refuse these eyes? -

I owned a Custom Shop Masterbuilt Bass for a short time before I moved it on. I was so disappointed in the instrument and I am a Fender fan. Don't get me wrong it was a nice bass but in my opinion the quality of workmanship was no better than the excellent American Standard offering. However, there is a significant difference in price between the two. The CS bass just didn't do it for me. I have come to the conclusion that the Custom Shop is over-hyped. The only advantage I can see is getting a bass the exact way you want it. However, in saying that I have just purchased a Jazz Bass which has been put together by a guitar builder in this country from Fender parts. The quality is superb and all at a fraction of the cost of a CS instrument. If I was wanting another bass built to my spec I certainly won't be paying CS prices.

I am quite frankly amazed that this bass is still here at this price. If I didn't already have three precisions I would be adding this one to my arsenal. Surely, people aren't waiting for further price reductions. There comes a point where it's just unfair to expect a bass of this quality and condition to cost any less. If this bass was being offered by a guitar store it would cost a good bit more.

Tubes now successfully replaced. In case anyone wants to know what the bowels of a Walkabout Scout amp look like then feast your eyes thus:-
-
Imagine spending £250 on a set of strings and then finding that one breaks when you restring because they are so old. Or even worse, you make make a mistake cutting them to length and find they are too short. What a load of bollocks!
-
Panic over. It's amazing what a bit of power can do!
-
I was trying to remove the screws from the side of the amp as well. The metal that covers the top also bends round the sides to the bottom of the amp. Is this the same with your amp?
-
I am going to be changing the tubes in my Walkabout Scout. I removed the amp from the cab and am currently trying to remove the screws from the sides of the amp so that I can access the innards. A couple of the screws just won't budge. Any tips anyone?
-
Are you willing to courier this bass? Does it come with a case?
-
Thanks for all the kind comments folks! -
Many apologies folks but I'm going to have to withdraw this bass from the for sale forum. It took me a long time to consider selling this bass as I have had it for a while now. However, when I actually saw it in the for sale thread it made me feel that I was missing it already. It really is a superb bass so I'm going to hold on to it. If money gets too tight I might put it up for sale at some future date. Sorry!

I have for sale my Fender USA Standard Precision from 1984. The Bass is all-original apart from a sprague orange drop capacitor being fitted. The original capacitor is included. The bass is almost unmarked apart from a very small mark in the lacquer on the top horn which I have tried to photograph next to a one pence coin. This mark has been on the bass since I got it about 7 years ago and has not got any worse. The condition is superb considering this is a 32 year old bass.The bass will come in a non-original Fender G&G Deluxe Brown Tolex Case. The bass is currently strung with Thomastik Flatwounds. I had to think twice about putting this bass up for sale as I have grown rather fond of it but I have one too many precisions so a choice had to be made. The asking price of £900 includes delivery to the UK.
