The issue is the huge gap between what Korg advertises ("Each Euro CST instrument is meticulously crafted using premium materials, featuring a striking, highly figured Poplar Burl top, a resonant European Ash body, and a 3-piece North American Maple neck paired with an Ebony fingerboard) and what they actually ask retailers to sell:
-
Yes, that looks awful. Korg sent some lovely looking CST's to their influencers to wet our appetite. Well, they should have sent them to their retailers too. For example, Sweetwater has a red CST in stock and it does not look anywhere near as good as the influencer ones. $3199? Wow. Good luck with that! I can see that BD also got a red CST (5 string). Again, the burst is a bit disappointing. A bit "Burst Light" or "Diet Burst" 😉 Interestingly, BD has already put them all on sale. Pretty much on the first day of selling them. Turbo-sale!
-
Agree, this finish looks awesome. I just hope the neck will be chunky like most Euro necks, so I won't be tempted to buy the red CST 😉

Nice video for both the new LX and CST:

Great looking bass with some tasty upgrades, incl. better pots and the Fender CS 62 pickup. Weight is good too (3.9kg!). £500? Wow, that's a steal. I recently sold my last passive bass but this is now really, really tempting. I better ask my wife to block my bank account and hide my credit card 😉 GLWTS 👍

Jim recently bought my Sadowsky preamp pedal. Smooth transaction and super quick payment. Thumbs up 👍

I am selling this nice Sadowsky SBP-2 Outboard Bass Preamp, which is in mint condition and gives bass players the same electronics that have been used into every Sadowsky bass. It is a great preamp that is ideal for players who want to upgrade their passive vintage instruments without having to change the original electronics. As I no longer own any passive basses, I sadly don't have any use for it anymore. The preamp is now stored safely in its original box in a pet and smoke free house. UK shipping only (sorry!) and shipping costs are included. Feautures: - Bass Preamp / EQ - Provides the same high quality electronics as used in Sadowsky basses - EQ section works as bass and treble boost only Bass + 18 dB boost at 40 Hz Treble + 18 dB boost at 4 kHz - True Bypass - Controls for volume, treble, bass - Bypass footswitch - Status LEDs - 6.3 mm Mono jack input / output - Power supply with 9 V battery or via 9 V DC power supply unit (2.1 mm x 5.5 mm hollow female plug, polarity (-) inside, not included) - Power consumption: 3 mA - Metal housing - Dimensions (L x W x H): 112 x 70 x 53 mm - Weight: approx. 265 g More info on the Sadowsky website: https://sadowsky.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Preamp-Insert-SBP-2-low-res.pdf

I am selling this nice set of EMG- 35P4 and 35J pickups. They are in mint condition and I bought them last summer for £160. I got them for my Spector NS-4, which I only played at home. The pickups are now stored safely in their original boxes in a pet and smoke free house. UK shipping only (sorry!) and shipping costs are included. From the EMG website: https://www.emgpickups.com/bass/extended-series/35p4.html The EMG 35P4 is our P bass pickup in an Extended range housing with the treble magnet closer to the neck (like a Spector or Yamaha bass). The EMG 35P4 covers a wide sonic palette of classic and modern bass sounds. Because the 35P4 utilizes ceramic magnets coupled with short, squat coils, the tone has brilliant high-end articulation, warmth, and incredible low end punch. Countless pros use this bass pickup because of its natural presence, superior dynamics, and low noise. For players who want a "Fender" P alignment - with the treble side closer to the bridge - we offer this pickup in "reverse". Utilizing EMG's solderless wiring, this pickup is easy to install at home. IN THE BOX PACKAGE INCLUDES EMG'S EXCLUSIVE SOLDERLESS INSTALL SYSTEM: 1 25K VOLUME POT 1 25K TONE POT 1 BATTERY BUS 1 STEREO OUTPUT JACK 1 PAIR MOUNTING SCREWS 1 PICKUP CABLE 2 CONNECT CABLES 1 OUTPUT CABLE 1 BATTERY CABLE https://www.emgpickups.com/bass/extended-series/35j.html The EMG 35J is our original J pickup in a Extended series housing for 4 string bass. This pickup has its coil located in the back of the housing - closer to the bridge - which gives it sweeping harmonic overtones and punch. This quiet pickup has classic jazz bass characteristics with a broader tonal frequency range that adds dimensions and clarity. EMG's design has a very low ratio of resistance to inductance, which increases the low end response, while the radiused ceramic bar magnet ensures the tone keeps a tight mid-range punch with a dynamic high end. This pickup uses a housing that is 3.5 inches (89mm) and comes with EMG's solderless wiring and controls. IN THE BOX PACKAGE INCLUDES EMG'S EXCLUSIVE SOLDERLESS INSTALL SYSTEM: 1 25K VOLUME POT 1 25K TONE POT 1 BATTERY BUS 1 STEREO OUTPUT JACK 1 PAIR MOUNTING SCREWS 1 PICKUP CABLE 2 CONNECT CABLES 1 OUTPUT CABLE 1 BATTERY CABLE

How long, not long because what you reap is what you sow! -
Happy to help, here is your bass number 88 😁

Yes, the finish looks stunning and much better in person than on the photos I took with my cheap phone. Solid maple wings are getting rare and expensive too. The Bass Gallery is currently selling a used 2017 NS-2 with solid maple wings in an amber finish for £6,000.00! Well, maybe I should reconsider my pricing as the pickups I put on turned the NS-4 (DCs) into a NS-2 (PJ)! https://thebassgallery.com/collections/bass/products/ns2

There is also a retailer in Germany, selling a Euro Classic Aged 80s. I am not a fan of relic'd basses but YMMV: https://www.station-musicshop.de/epages/64398533.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/64398533/Products/6770-6814
