Raslee Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) Higher end 'Cort GB5 Custom' in great condition, low action, 34" scale, B is super tight and sounds huge, usual minor marks top of headstock. Comes with Cort gig bag and can be well boxed for transportation if required. New strings about to be fitted. Really is a fantastic bass which i ended up keeping over 2 x Laklands, Stingray 5 and a higher end Yamaha bass - I can't imagine a better 5 string for this price. This bass had a John East Uni pre amp fitted which improved the overall tone tenfold. It can also be switched between Active & Passive with a very handy passive tone. The extra dip switches puts the Seymour Duncan pickups in parallel with each other and the other switches between active/passive. Specs from the t'interweb: . BODY: Swamp Ash with Spalted Maple Top · •NECK: Canadian Hard Maple · •FRETBOARD: Rosewood, 15 3/4" Radius (400mm) · •FRETS: 22 / Large (2.7mm) · •SCALE: 34" (864mm) · •INLAY: Rectangular White Pearl · •TUNERS: Hipshot lic. · •BRIDGE: EB12(5) · •PICKUPS: Seymour Duncan SJ5-3N & SMB-5D •ELECTRONICS: Upgraded to John East Uni All in all a fantastic bass for the money that I will miss dearly but I need something lighter. Bargain - now £375 (Have a good box for packing) or collection from Plymouth. May consider trades up or down for a 5 string bass strictly under 8.5lbs in weight. This one weighs in a exactly 10.2lbs. Weird camera angle shot (kind of makes the bass look twisted .....) £375 Edited February 17, 2020 by Raslee 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binky_bass Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Cort make some seriously underrated basses.... I've owned a few A6 basses and still have a Tanglewood Baron 6 (of which the A6 was based) and they are really exceptional beasts. You would need to spend twice/three times this for a 'branded' comparable bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
