fluffo Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 (edited) I am toying with the idea of selling my 2 Cort gb's a 74 and 75 ie 4 and 5 string both identical and in mint condition. From what I have read these seem to be out of the same factory's as the Lakeland DJ's and the G&L's. I have owned many basses and these are fantastic instruments and out play the fender deluxe 5 usa I had previous to these. I wanted a Jazz style body with a humbucker and the back and a jazz bar up front and block inlays and an edge binding, as you can imagine anything with that spec seems to cost proper money, then I found the GB75 and I was sold. The only reason I'm selling is that I ordered a custom made bass some 2 years ago and is now ready. If I could afford to keep them I would . They have a push/pull active/passive volume pot a blend pan pot and a stacked 2 band bass and treble, I think the active circuit is an alnico and the pickups are mightymite also the machine heads and the bridge on these are made by hipshot the same as the daryl jone lakeland. The humbucker has a 3 way toggle switch which splits the humbucker ti a bad single coil a front single coil or centered gives the the whole lot together, the other toggle is a two way and is like a mid boost for both pickups. Both are in mint condition. I want £500 for the pair or £300 each, call mark on 07956 964156 of [email protected] [attachment=48781:02052010504.JPG][attachment=48782:02052010505.JPG][attachment=48783:02052010506.JP G][attachment=48784:02052010507.JPG][attachment=48786:02052010508.JPG][attachment=48787:02052010509.

crez5150 Posted May 4, 2010 Posted May 4, 2010 Stop telling everyone how good these basses are...... I'm trying to get the funds together....... these basses are rubbish...... ahem.....
kurcatovium Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 I bought natural GB75 about month ago. It is sweet bass and I didn't even know they're making them in white/rosewood combo. I wonder if it is any different from my natural one. I'm tempted to try...

crez5150 Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 Argh.... want the GB75...... not after anytrades of anything are you?
