    From what I understand, the Sadowsky part is just under 6 cm. Any chance someone could confirm that for me? Still waiting for the bass. Thomann did say "usually ships 1-2 weeks" but I'm just flipping impatient 😂

    Now that is an explanation even a woodworking noob like me can understand. Thank you kindly @carlsim. All I need is the bass... Last question... What are the dimensions you used for the decal. The "Sadowsky" part I mean? Ta, muchly

    I've found the (Sadowsky) logo on etsy and several other places. I'll see which one is best. I'm also considering asking Roger Sadowsky directly if I can get a genuine one... My wife says I should look for a stencil, transfer the letters to the wood, and not a decal. Will see about that too. I'm sure Sadowsky uses a print stamp

    Stoked to have found this thread. I'm waiting for delivery of my bass from Thomann, and absolutely want to get the headstock looking "proper". Can I hit you both (@carlsim and @kevin_lindsay) up for advice, links etc. please? Much appreciated Julian aka Glassmoon

    Thanks @songofthewind I'm not sure what sealant to use, but I'm sure my local B&Q person can assist. Now to peruse Amazon for the decal paper 😄

    A stupid question perhaps, but short of sanding the headstock to remove the existing logo....is there a "better" way to strip off the current logo?

    Many thanks @BlueMoon. I'll definitely be checking them out,

    Good day all you bass builders. I want to get a headstock decal made, but I have no idea where to go. Any pointers, ideas, options? My thanks in advance. Julian aka Glassmoon

    These are awesome bags, and especially useful for longer scale basses. GLWTS mate.

    No postage at all?

    You have no idea. I've got so much conflict about selling this, present issues notwithstanding. It's a really heavy hitter....

    The Carl Martin Bass Chorus is one of those "why, why, why on earth did I ever sell that????" pedals... a real beauty of a unit

    Hello @Andyjr1515 - he said that the truss couldn't move and was not willing to apply brute force in order to attempt it. - it is not super gloss, but there is definitely a gloss coating - I could do that if it were deemed to be worth it... again, I don't want to throw good money after bad here (the dilemma is real hahahaha) But yes, I can take it off easily enough See, if it's a scrapper, it's only value then is in the HipShot tuners. And yes, the refinish is the crux... and an expensive one. I am thinking more and more that the neck refit is not viable... many thanks for slapping me about the head!

    I've been trying to find a 35", 5 string neck... Warmoth, All Parts etc etc etc. I'm all ears if anyone knows of a decent supplier. I've even tried looking for a similar, albeit "cheaper" Cort neck... From the distributors and 2nd hand. Bloody hen's teeth!
  19. glassmoon
    That's what does worry me too... but I'd like someone to look, see, decide ... The pickups, tuners and bridge alone are worth it... sigh

    Hi All, So, the woes on my Cort GB75JH continue, so I am (should a potential buyer decline to take it) considering replacing the truss rod. My local tech says he can't do it as he does not have the means to replace on a maple neck and fingerboard ... but who does? I am based in Harlow, Essex, so I don't want to have to ship to Yorkshire - it's not like this is a Ken Smith hahahaha Anyone know of a good tech, who won't rip the ring out me, who can take a look, make an assessment, and do the job? My thanks in advance... Julian aka Glassmoon

    To say that is a thing of beauty is to downplay the meaning of the word beauty!!!! A stunning instrument - and welcome to the World of Ibanez

    Hell's Teeth... That's a beautiful bass, that's for sure... GLWTS mate

    Hi everyone, I'm selling this to fund another music-related project. I've really loved this bass, especially with the awesome Delano pickups I put in. Used once in a live situation and it just works...it punches above it's weight thanks to the upgraded pickups. Description: Cort GB-75JH (semi-clear "black") with upgraded Delano pickups, which makes this bass very close in tone to a Sandberg. MM and J pickup config (a la Lakland) (Delano JC 5 HE/M2 Split Coil Humbuckers & Delano MC 5 HE/S-L Dual Coil Humbucker) Volume, blend, bass & treble (I put Sadowsky knobs on the pots, so it looks really "fancy" LOL) 35" scale length Hipshot ultralight tuners Canadian Hard-Maple neck Swamp ash body Omega bridge Weight : 9.6 lbs / 4.4 kg Issue Statement: The truss rod appears to have fused, and after sending it to my local tech, brute force could potentially break the rod. So this is more than likely a parts bass. And they're awesome parts 😜 The action (see pic) is not horrible, just not paper thin. The tech in question is @gary mac. Collect or courier at buyer's expense (I will bubble wrap to protect, but no shipping box)

    Good afternoon all, So in light of the truss rod on my Cort 5 found to be fused (and while not unplayable, it's no longer adjustable for super low action).... I'm considering going the Squier route and doing some mods down the road. I missed on a Squier deluxe, so in my searching, I found the Affinity which looks decent, and then the Contemporary, which is a rather different beast altogether. I've always had a soft spot for Squiers, but am I going backwards here? I play, when I play, in pop/rock/function bands, so Jack of all trades requirements. Anyone have one of these that they use and like?T alk me out of it, or all the way into one hahahaha Thanks in advance Julian aka Glassmoon
