Wish I was a bit closer.... just so I could try this one out. Scratch that - I mustn't buy another bass.... So why am I looking at the "Basses for sale" thread? lol

I had one of these a while back, and sold it on here. There are times when I think I should've kept it, as it was so small and lightweight, and easy to carry around. As others have said, they don't sound it though - they sound amazing! They also don't come up very often.

I didn't realise either, until I saw someone else selling one, who mentioned it. IMO, it leaves a bit of a gap in the market, especially as these have so many built in features, incl a drum machine too.

Just adding a possible trade option. I'm looking for a Fretless Jazz neck (preferably lined). Willing to add cash, if necessary.

Just adding some possible trade options - I'm looking for a Fender / Squier fit fretless Jazz neck (preferably lined). Or I may opt for the right fretless bass. Willing to add cash for the right deal.

As an ageing bassist (who sold his fretless last year.... then joined a band who might benefit from some FL bass.... doh!) any idea what the weight of this bass is? Also, what are the markings like on the edge of the neck? Could you take a pic? Thanks

Just wondered about the pickups @Bassassin- are they EMGs in your Cort? The pickups in this are so good, I've even thought of taking them out of the bass and keeping them for something else

I was rather more State of the art in the 80's than I am now ha ha 😂

It always drew comments from people who didn't know what it was, or from musicians who wanted to talk about the 80's whenever I played it @haimesy Yes, it's a bass playing lifetime ago 😀

DROP: This is now £175, if gone by Saturday - If it's still here, I may donate it to someone I know who has set up his own guitar & bass school. Just adding a possible trade - I'm potentially seeking a Fretless Jazz neck (Fender / Squier fit), or maybe a fretless bass - cash added for the right one. You don't see many of these around, as I gather they weren't in production for long. 1980's Cort headless bass, with Steinberger licensed bridge & nut. Features my own home made strap extension, using a metal bracket and wood added upper horn - as I couldn't reach the end of the neck comfortably before. This bass is fitted with passive EMG pickups, which are absolutely thunderous! It's louder than either of my active basses, and these pickups sound awesome. Not sure it was originally fitted with EMGs, and have seen no mention of this. I had the frets levelled a while back by a Luther near Cardiff, and the bass plays nicely. However, the action is a tad on the high side IMHO. This hasn't bothered me too much, as I tended to play it quite hard, in the band I mainly used it for. Ideal as a backup / spare as its so compact & light (around 3kg I think). It has a few scuffs & scrapes, and has definitely been gigged. Comes with nicely padded gigbag. I'm only selling as my backup is now a short scale headless Ibanez - so I'm not using this anymore. Collection from Cardiff preferred. I don't have a box / packaging. No trades (other than fretless Jazz neck) - I'm having a clear out. The skulls are easily removable stickers - I used in on a couple of Halloween gigs.

It's stereo 2.5w + 2 5w But it's louder than that sounds, so to speak. I've played in folk jam sessions with it, in a pub, along with 4 or 5 guitarists, banjo, mandolin, fiddle, plus a drummer (using brushes) and it more than coped... Edit: I've played alongside louder musicians who beat hell out of some makeshift drums - but it could still be heard, when placed in a shop doorway. I also played it on a beach in West Wales, and it was fine even there. Probably not good for metal though! Lol. It seems a shame that they've discontinued these, as it fills a gap in the market.

NOW £115. Plus, I'm after a Fender-fit fretless neck (Pref Jazz dimensions, and lined - but WHYG?). Or possibly a Fretless bass, with cash added for the right one. These are Cracking little micro bass amps, and are now discontinued, sadly. Can be powered by mains, or 6 x AA's - so you can get spare batteries anywhere. This one is in great condition. Great as a small practice amp around the house - it even has a headphone socket. Also good for busking too, which I've done a few times. It has a carry handle attached. What's really nice about these, is they have 8x sound presets, bass, middle & treble EQ, plus gain. But the effects feature really nice chorus, flanger & reverb. Even better, there's a built in drum / rhythm machine with 11 preset styles. I'd much prefer not to post, if possible - so collection from Cardiff preferred, or could possibly meet, if I happen to be on my travels. No trades thanks - the clear out continues....

I had a Squier PJ made in Indonesia- it was superbly built, and sounded great. Fab value for money. This is a great price, and Burns Bass is a top fella to deal with. GLWTS Lawrie 😀
