jayblaze Posted February 22, 2011 Share 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.

kurcatovium Posted February 22, 2011 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynepunkdude Posted February 24, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted February 24, 2011 Share 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?
