jayblaze Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) here im selling the lovelly cort elrick five string bass. ive had this bass for 6 months and i absolutly love it ( i actually preffer playing it to my spector). when i first bought it i was really impressed with just how good the finish and playabillity is for a cheap bass! the build quility is easly as good as more expensive basses ive played and thanks to the bartolini pickups the sound is right up there with the big boys too. im selling the cort because i need to raise funds for the 36 scale shuker im having made which can be found in the build diary section ( so the purchase money wont be spunked on beer! ) this really is a reluctant sale as i really get on with this bass. i currently have the bass strung up with ddarrio semi flat strings that give a nice mellow warm sound but still have some of the highs. when i first got the bass it was strung with normal strings and had a more zingy tone that was great for slappin. i cant seem to find a spec as the bass is no longer in production so ill list my own. if anyone finds one please add it to the thread thanks! BODY swamp ash with flame maple top NECK is maple with rose wood fingerboard and maple cap on headstock PICKUPS bartolini mk1 EQ has master vol, pickup blend,bass,middle,treble,active/passive push pull TUNERS hpshot Over all a really nicely put together light weight bass with a great sound for not alot of dollar.

Guest Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 I'd love this! But I've not played bass since leaving my band so it would be pointless, hmmmm.
jayblaze Posted February 22, 2011 Author Posted February 22, 2011 i love it too but im sure ill love my shuker more!!! this is a steal.
dannybuoy Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 What's the width at the nut? I don't get on well with anything bigger than 1.75"...
kurcatovium Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Wow, these are extremely good basses especially at this price! Highly recommended, mine have won against 2x more expensive competitor. Very comfortable, thin and almost flat neck!
waynepunkdude Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 As a part of my massive clear out my missus says I can get a cheap 5 string, I need to find out what she means by cheap until then, have a bump.
waynepunkdude Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Also does this have dots on the neck?

waynepunkdude Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 That's what I meant, awesome, really want this trying to get the funds together.
Owen Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 We live in the golden age of bass lutherie. These basses are just superb and dirt cheap.
ialma Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Would you ship (at my expenses of course) to good ol' Italy ?
Mike Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Man, tempted by this, and I'm only in Chelmsford. I had one and loved it. Maybe I could come for a play if it's still unsold next week? I 'm in Italy on holiday til Sat at the moment!

dannybuoy Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Yup, hopefully to me! ;-) The seller is away for a few days hence the lack of replies so far.

kurcatovium Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 I wonder this is still here! (Is it?) I would pay more than the asking price, but I already have the exact model and I love it.

kurcatovium Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 No, I didn't mean my post to start auction. I just wanted to say the bass is cheap as chips!
