    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

    Sorry, silly not to ask... It says 3 band, but I see only 4 knobs. Is one stacked?

    Question. When you say sold as untested, is that to say you have not tested them? BTW, interested in the Glockenklang pre

    Awesome units! Really great EQ section GLWTS

    Oh man, that's one of the best looking basses I've seen in a very long time. GLWTS

    Yeah, I've corrected that stupid typo. Thanks @jrixn1for pointing that out. I have the GB-75JH, the 35" scale bass. So I'm in trouble looking for a relatively inexpensive option... So on that note... Do Status still make replacement necks I wonder? Or is there a better option elsewhere?
  8. glassmoon
    So I checked out the Cort GB35-JJ on the Cort website, and it's 35" scale. I'm just going to scream a little bit now

    Oh wow @MichaelDean: that is perfect!!!!! Almost the same bass. Man, what a find - thank you so, so much!!!!!

    Hi all So the neck on my Cort GB75JH needs to be replaced (fused truss rod, slight kink too). These basses are not hugely expensive, so I really don't want to pay the near £300 that I've seen for them from some places.... nor do I want a cheap piece of pine. I've seen an option for buying another Cort 5, same scale length... I might just do that... but... So, is there anywhere in the UK where I can get a good (and I understand the subjectivity of that word) replacement neck without breaking the bank. I'd prefer a rosewood (or any other darkwood) fingerboard, but at this stage, beggars can't be choosers. Any help and guidance would be great!!!! Kind regards, Julian aka Glassmoon

    I watched a YooChoob clip of this pedal, and before all the fuzz and widdly woo stuff started, the simple one up / one down was amazing. Soooooooo tempted

    When I'm asked about my DI, I point at the floor. It's currently an EBS MicroBass 3, before that an MXR M81, before that.... The last time I used an amp for anything other than a monitor was donkeys years ago. I guess I could get one of them and a Radial DI, but man, I think bassists would love it so much more, were there a DI. GLWTS though @RikiB. Sorry for trolling your post
  13. glassmoon
    Love mine, so GLWTS
  14. glassmoon
    I'm so interested in these units, but it befuddles me that it doesn't have a DI. I get it's probably aimed more at guitarists than bassists, but still. Scant few videos of these with bass. One day....

    Oh my hat. I think I just died and went to heaven. That is quite possibly in the top 3 most gorgeous basses I've ever seen. Wow.

    Are you able to post?

    Bugger - too small for a BTB 6
  18. glassmoon
    Any chance of the dimensions please?

    Man, I have wanted a Basswitch for soooooooo many years. I sadly can't justify it now, but wow.... GLWTS mate

    Fair point admittedly, but what I've done is replace the pickups with Delanos and I'm looking next to replace the pre-amp with either a Delano or something similar... essentially a hybrid Sandberg/Lakland... I do like the bass (albeit a heavy lump) ... sigh... I hear you guys though. Perhaps I should look at a Skyline again - one from about 20 year ago hahahaha Perhaps a new neck and if I do sell it, I've got the original neck to put back on!

    Hello @Andyjr1515 Thank you so very much for such a clear and concise rundown of "how to stain a fingerboard". Very kind of you mate! To answer the questions... * please see the attached picture of the fingerboard * yes, just the fingerboard, so I'll need some of the blue tape I always seem to see on the instrument videos The board is lovely - no mistake, and I'm probably being a little silly contemplating this, but I just really prefer a dark board.... so much so, that I was contemplating looking for a Cort neck from one of the older model GB basses (which I've owned before and really liked, so no worry about "quality" there... it's just finding one) But for about seven quid, the Fiebing stain looks like a win!!! Ta muchly. p.s. hopefully no dog's dinner in sight. KR Julian

    Ah, capital - thanks @Geek99. Let's continue the journey!

    Hi @franzbassist I honesty don't have the first clue. Good point though, so I will try to get some more info on how it left the Cort factory. However, I'd be certainly stripping any and all coating off that fingerboard before applying anything at all. Scrape, rub, buff, until I'm at pretty much "raw" wood.

    Hello all, So, as much as I don't hear any tonal variances between rosewood or maple, I just can't can't seem to get my eyes to like the look of maple - even the roasted maple on my Cort GB75JH. So, I've watched several Yew Choob videos on staining and while most are staining rosewood darker to look more like ebony, I've seen a few on staining maple darker to look closer to rosewood. Iis there anyone here that has ever been successful in staining a maple board/neck dark so that it resembles a dark wood like rosewood, Macassar (ebony), wenge etc etc etc.??? And... if so, how did you do it? My thanks in advance... as ever. Julian aka Glassmoon

    Hi @Oldman Question... can this system be used to power/run a record player? Kind regards Julian
