  1. [quote name='mcnach' post='1223182' date='May 7 2011, 01:39 PM']Hmmm... I have to think about it. I want to take a bass to leave in Madrid with my brother, but I don't want to part with any of my current ones and don't want to spend a lot either... This Cort looks quite interesting but I never tried these ones... however you are local so maybe we could meet and have a little try? have a bump anyway while I decide what I want/need [/quote] Sure. Come on over. I'm in Newington. PM me for details. Pete
  2. [quote name='mcnach' post='1222624' date='May 6 2011, 09:28 PM']hmmm, what is the routing like under the pickguard? edit: oooh, and you're local too! [/quote] It's a Squier-type routing - a large rout for the neck pickup with a chunk taken out between the front pickup and the control cavity. EDIT: The cavity is also fully shielded with conductive paint. Very nice indeed.
  3. Found the review. Attached! [attachment=79210:Cort_GB334A_Review.pdf]
  4. [quote name='Delberthot' post='1221686' date='May 5 2011, 10:29 PM']very, very tempted - tried one of these in Glasgow a couple of years ago.[/quote] Yep, pretty sweet for not a lot of dosh! I'll see if I can dig out the Bass Guitar Magazine review somewhere...
  5. Bump for price drop!
  6. [quote name='badboy1984' post='1216636' date='May 1 2011, 04:12 PM']I'm interest and you got me GASing now for this. Nothing better than having this as my backup to my jazz and musicman[/quote] Cheap 'n cheerful and it sounds great. What more can you wish for? Pete
  7. Hi all Up for sale is my heavily gigged Cort GB334A. 4 strings, 22 frets, 9 lbs. Neck is more 'P' than jazz, I measure it at about 1.56" width at the nut with 0.8125" depth at the 1st fret (fretboard radius 12"). Sounds great, lots of funky tonal variety with the jazz and MM pickups. Really nice neck join + tapered heel, smooth-looking inlays, and a beautiful feeling and stable neck with very low action. Nice looking maple and rosewood used for the neck, agathis body. A well built instrument, all told. Rated well by Bass Guitar Magazine when reviewed a few years back. Controls are volume, blend, and stacked bass/treble. Electronics are in full working order. A few areas on the neck that could use some cleaning up, and the pickups could use a little tidying up too, but nothing that elbow grease shouldn't sort out. A great bass (and not just for this kind of silly money)! There are some great videos of the refresh model (the GB34A) on Youtube - I have included links - same bass, slightly different bridge, same electronics and, I believe, pickups. This bass sounds like the GB34A in the videos, so you'll get a good idea of it from that. Links - [url="http://youtu.be/rctn9oOv2b0"]http://youtu.be/rctn9oOv2b0[/url], [url="http://youtu.be/_EdxZyUS5QY"]http://youtu.be/_EdxZyUS5QY[/url]. The weblink to the 'refresh' model at Cort is at [url="http://www.cortguitars.com/_webapp_3835206/GB34A#;"]http://www.cortguitars.com/_webapp_3835206/GB34A#;[/url] I'm afraid I can't find any links to the previous model. however the specs appear unchanged save for a passive-active push-pull switch. A new one of these will run you £250 or so. [b][s]£100[/s] [u][color="#008000"]£90 shipped in the UK[/color][/u][/b] for this one and it's yours. I'm happy to take Paypal. [b]NOW SOLD.

  8. Neck and rear pickups both down at 60-70% of max (but equal), tone turned down to somewhere between 50% and max, depending on strings - perfect for straightahead jazz, very mellow indeed. Turn up at amp if more volume needed. NOT the same tone as turning up both pickups to max and turning the tone knob down. Don't ask me why this is, I don't know. It just works. Other settings essentially as per previous posters. Pete
