Moos3h

Bit of a story there - it arrived at Richards Guitars and failed his QC checks, he sent me a pic and it had a small but noticeable cosmetic flaw. He was about to order me another and a friend messaged me to see if I wanted to buy his Ibanez. Order cancelled, Ibanez here and happy Moos3h but do still have a bit of an itch to scratch with the Cort.

Hi folks, Anyone any idea where to buy these in the UK? I've an old HA2500 head which has a single EQ Slider cap missing. Thanks in advance, James

rguitars.co.uk - I've known Rich for years so wasn't going anywhere else when it came to Cort. I've gone blue...I'm hoping it looks better than in the pics

Mine's on order! I'm told that these have hit the UK Distributors and mine should be with the shop in the next few working days. Can't wait to try it - NBD thread will follow!

I'd agree with that, although ultimately most of what makes the GOOD ones is in the finishing stage and a lot of that can be done yourself if you enjoy that sort of thing - making a bass that's yours and suits you. My Squier 'required': - Fret Dress - Neck sanding down - Fingerboard edges rolling - Full setup - New strings and whilst I was at it, I ripped out the electronics and put some EMGs in. Now you could certainly argue it didn't NEED any of the above, you could also argue that it reaches 'Trigger's Broom' status after a certain amount of work/changes/upgrades but if like me you find that part of the 'fun' then that's cool. Is it comparable to a USA mode? IMO, no. Was it fun? Yeah!

Andy is a total pleasure to deal with. Recommended buyer - thanks mate!

Check out my laurel! Have hit it twice with the lemon oil and looking pretty healthy.

Bit short notice but I'm in Weston today and London next week...don't mind a slight diversion if either of those locations work out?

I had one and it was sh*te. Total boat anchor...looked cool but that was about as far as it went. Ply body too - you can usually tell as the forearm contour on sunburst models will be black.

How important is light weight? If you're not fussed then go second hand 'old school's (TE, Ashdown etc) for best bang for buck. I've experience of all those amps and whilst they are giggable, they don't handle it well and lose a lot of composure at higher volumes.

I thought that but keep it fed and it looks great! I think they just let it get super dry on the basses its used on.

I've had it too - I think some of the ads are hijacked...

I have a gaming PC in the classifieds here that would work a treat. Can be supplied without the graphics card if you prefer, to keep the price down!

I'd imagine that most sellers of something *nice* will always have it available by another channel too? e.g. I've a bass for sale at the moment, it's on ebay for visibility but I have it listed here, Facebook, Reverb etc. so always worth a quick google to check!

Took me a long time to get used to playing with my wedding ring on, but it didn't pass unnoticed me taking it off as I left for the gig. That took some explaining...
