Thanks for the interest, this is on hold pending pickup. To answer your question the balance on these is great seated and on a strap, the whole bass is very compact, so balances well, and it is an easy reach to the low frets.

Hey paddy I’ve updated the listing, I actually got the preamp wrong, it’s a bartolini with the mk1 pickups. It’s was the mark as I had in a Cort B5. I’m not sure about the passive tone control I’ve only used it active but I’ll have a check.

Next for sale is my Cort A5 Flamed maple top. It’s in nearly immaculate condition, might be a couple of tiny bumps but nothing you can see. Great quality bass for not much money. Very capable gigging bass, I’ve had a couple of these are they are so comfortable to play. it’s a 34” scale, 18mm string spacing , hipshot hardware, bartolini mk1 pickups and 3 band preamp. I would imagine it’s around 4kgs. Any questions please ask!

Lovely looking and playing GMR 5 string for sale. Black flamed maple top with matching headstock. I recently got this in a trade, but have just bit the bullet and got a Dingwall 5, so I desperately need to recoup funds and space. 34” scale, 19mm string spacing, bartolini pick ups and good quality black hardware. Plus it has the recessed strap buttons and strap locks. Its active with a two band eq. The good It’s lightweight, well balanced, sounds great. Great flame and great condition on the front, few knocks around the edges, but not bad. The bad There was some lacquer cracks on the back of the bass, so the previous owner decided to strip it back some lacquer and added a vinyl wrap over it in case of any further cracking. Sounded odd to me initially but when you see it, it is absolutely fine and a good idea. I feel this is reflected in the price. Any questions or further pictures required just ask!

Our drummer has a pink drum kit and I don’t have a pink bass…..we do like to match where we can…..hhmm

Hey thanks Paddy, I have been looking at that one 😆

A tentative trade offering - I recently traded a 5 string for this and now need to get a five string back in the arsenal so its last in first out! This is a great bass, it is all that I wanted, playability is effortless, weight is great for long gigs and it looks stunning. I've lifted the quote below from a previous sale of this which explains the bass better than I can! I will add a link to the last ad, but I've added some new sunny photos. 'These were very expensive new and this has had a lot of work done to it. It had a pro set up at ATB guitars and sports a customised Bartolini preamp from Dex audio with a very narrow range that just keeps it all super useable in the real world. Controls are: volume, bass, treble, with a pull for low mid boost and a switch for each pickup to toggle between series/parallel/single coil It has an almost Stingray ish sound from the humbuckers and is surprisingly warm and rich. Neck is slim and flat, like a jazz bass meets a status, the most comfy neck I’ve ever owned. (In Over 300 basses!!) The balance is spot on and the truss works fine etc. ' A 5 string version of this would suit me perfectly but they are as rare as the proverbial rocking horse.., so ideally a lightweight jazz of some sort, ideally passive would be good.

Seems to still be very much a buyers market. With that in mind I’ve dropped the price a bit if it’s of any interest.

As ritsugamesh said it is a great value workhorse with a wide range of sounds. You are welcome to come and try it but it’s a bit of a trek from w11!

Up for sale is my sire five string, I really like this bass and the colour especially but I need to thin the herd! Great stingray on a budget really good quality for the money, it’s in really good condition no real marks to note. Collection from Chelmsford ideally as I don’t have a case or gig bag for it.

Only recently got this as I've wanted to try one for a while as a possibly workhorse for a function band. These are great basses but I don't think its the one for me at the moment. Really good quality and nice feel to it, and a good B string. Weighs in at around 4.3kgs. In great condition, only 1 mark on the body, the scratch plate and rear panel still have the cellophane on them. Could be interested in trades for 4 or 5 strings. Would prefer collection from Chelmsford, comes with a good Yamaha gig bag but I don't currently have packing material to ship. Any questions please ask!

Brilliant basses, I have 2! White and natural, missing a blue one for the set….no space though…GLWTS

It was great but I actually sold it also, as I think I prefer 34in scale, and like you something I wanted came up. But I have the other two still!

Love these, I’ve got its twin! Plus it’s blonde sister, posing with your old 55 01 😁
