Cort A5 custom mint - SOLD! £600 London

[Steff]

Hi guys, 

Having a clear out and this beautiful Cort needs to go - I just don’t play it as I have too many basses and the ones I mostly play are 35” 19mm spacing which is what I’m now used to. 
Ideal for people with smaller hands I guess, one of the most comfortable basses I’ve ever played. 
 

It is 34” scale. 16mm spacing but that is adjustable - I guess it could go to 17 or possibly more - not sure. The bass is light - will provide the exact weight later. 

Beautiful spalted maple, neck through. I believe the fretboard is rosewood. 
Bartolini MK1 pickups and preamp. Highly modifiable - worth mentioning that I had other electronics in so the solder joints aren’t factory ones but I mod all of my basses and never have any issues with the work. 
 

Condition is immaculate - can’t see any marks or scratches. 
It has pearl pot caps and strap locks. Comes with a padded strap and a hard case. 
 

No posting I’m afraid but I do travel a lot so it shouldn’t be a problem meeting. 

I’m after a straight sale unless someone offers me a Sandberg Ken Taylor 5 w maple board  

Hope the previous owner doesn’t mind me using some of his photos - they’re way better than mine   

 

Edit - I’ll consider trade offers for other basses, particularly interested in the Ibanez SRSC805

Will take sensible offers on this one. Really don’t need 12 basses of which I play 3 only 😂...

I would snap this up if it had the Hipshot bridge with the wider string spacing like the newer models... although by the sounds of it, you'd probably be keeping it if it did! 🙂

Stunning bass though... GLWTS

Hi Steff. Do you have any sound bites of this bass please?

[Steff]

No but I can record some tomorrow mate. Anything in particular in terms of preamp/pickups settings? 

[gazrack]

Ah nice one! Nah, just a general everything full tone wise and if you could just back pickup sound then front pickup sound then a balance between the two? Would like to know the slap sound on it and also if it's got a nice honky Jaco' esque back pickup growl! Thanks Steff, really appreciate anything you can whack together! 👍

I do sometimes mate but now with this lockdown all my gigs have been cancelled/postponed... Not sure for how long now.

 

Here's a little youtube video I put together quickly 

 

Really not sure why audio is out of sync - must be an iMovie thing...
