My Austin Hatchet Bass

[bholby07]

It’s a little beaten up because it’s old. I’m actually kind of just borrowing it from my father. It’s a good bass and it has active pickups.

Properly cool, always fancied one of these but never actually seen one in real life. The guitar versions however, are pretty common.

I think they were sold as Austin Hatchet in the US, Kay in the UK - but they're actually Corts - sharing the neck-through construction , brass triple-dot inlays & brass hardware with a range of Corts from the late 70s/early 80s. They were sold under the Cort brand as "Cort 45". Lol.

Never seen one of those. What are the switches for? On/Off for each pickup and Active/Passive or Series/Parallel?
