Cort Artisan B5 plus Burgundy - updated pics £350 Glasgow

[Fishfacefour]

Lovely well balanced light 5 string.

 

The burgundy is a lovely red and the swamp ash wood grain comes through nicely.

 

The neck is a 5 piece panga-panga and walnut. Fretboard is roasted maple.

 

Plays really well and the Markbass mb-1 pre gives scope for plenty of sounds.

 

Pickups are bartolini mk1.

 

Tuners are hipshot ultralite which means it balances perfectly. 

 

I've moved over to medium and short scale so now moving this on. 

Can post at buyer's cost. 

Open to trades for an amp: ideally Ashdown RM500, Ampeg PF500, or possibly TC Electronic 500w. 

 

These are old pics, I'll update them later today.

Cort make excellent instruments for a fraction of the price of the big names (some of which are made in the same factory). Materials are good and QC is consistent. I suspect this is an extremely capable bass for not a lot of money.

Yeah this is a lovely bass. I tried sell it twice before but got cold feet both times. It's definitely going now though as full scale isn't working for me any more.

Finally got round to some new pics. I was careful not to play it so I don't change my mind again...

How light?

[Fishfacefour]

My scales are broken at the moment but I have a previous note of 4.2kg. It feels lighter as it's so well balanced.

These are great basses. I had the same model in a different colour, sold it and wished that I hadn't.

Do you have the truss rod cover as it appears to be missing on one of the pics.

[Fishfacefour]

Oh yes I do. Thanks for the reminder! Will put it back on this evening.

Should say I'm now sorted for amps so back to straight sale if possible. 

 

Unless you have some compact Spendor, Neat or Amphion hifi speakers?
