SumOne Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 (edited) Cort Space 5 Bought new from Bass Direct about 6 months ago (I have the receipt), still in very good condition - just a few little light cosmetic marks. Plays well, sounds good, well balanced while being lightweight and comfortable. 3.56kg. (slightly less than 8lbs) With Cort gig bag. £560 £490 Collection preferred: I live in Chichester, or am in West London on Mondays, or Worthing Wednesdays. If posting: It will be well protected in gig bag & cort box & wrapping & outside box. No Trades for Basses or Amps or Cabs etc. The only thing I'm after is a decent compressor pedal (Cali 76, Empress, Becos, BC-1X). Edited November 3 by SumOne Reduced to £490 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SumOne Posted October 5 Author Share Posted October 5 (edited) The back story is that I'm fickle! About 6 months ago I sold a Japanese 4 string Jazz to get this Cort, now I'm keen to get a 4 string Jazz again! Basically, it is because I like swopping and changing around Basses, and the band I'm in has >30 song setlist with no songs needing anything below a low E (but a couple needing slap - which I find easier on a 4). I'd recommend the Cort though, perfectly balanced, low action, sounds good. Edit: I've now bought a Lakland DJ4. So no longer looking for trades.

Everton Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 Hi. I sold a Japanese P-Bass for £650 and got this one in brown. I do not regret it one bit. No neck dive on a 5 string is amazing. The pickups actually sound quite good with flat strings. I am impressed with Cort quality. Now I want a GB Modern 4 as my next one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No neck dive on a 5 string is amazing. The pickups actually sound quite good with flat strings. I am impressed with Cort quality. Now I want a GB Modern 4 as my next one. Yeah, I've actually just spent a few hours around Denmark Street trying out various Fender 4 strings and have come away decidedly underwhelmed.... So I might re-think my plan. Almost all Fenders had neck dive, were relatively heavy, not particularly comfortable, and most had quite high action while still having fret buzz (but I assume a good setup could help with that). And some of these are £2k. One was £1,800 that definitely needed some better quality control on the fret ends. And another customer in a shop told me he's had a lot of trouble (electrics and frets) with a Player series one he'd bought. One big positive is that I could do slap better than I can on the Cort - but I think that's a 4 vs 5 string thing rather than a Fender thing. So yeah, if I do sell the Cort 5 I think it might actually be replaced with a 4 string Cort (I've just realised, if you own a 'made in Indonesia or S Korea' Bass then it was probably made by Cort: Ibanez, Squier, G&L, Lakland, Hohner, Elrick). (Edit: I've bought a Lakland DJ4, made in Korea....probably by Cort!) Edited October 15 by SumOne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everton Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 Indeed. And the premium line of Cort is similar to the premium lines of these brands. I think if you want a slap one, you should try the Cort GB Modern or perhaps a Sire Z7 or V8. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everton Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 I sold my Warwick $$ 5 strings and I confess that I enjoy the Cort Space 5 a lot more. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
