dave_bass5 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I was just having a clear out at work and what do you know, i found my old headless bass. It was made in the Cort factory i believe and feels really nice. Its a shame it has a couple of large scratches on the front but other than that its in really good condition. Its a bit 80's looking but i think ill give it a go at the next gig. [attachment=71776:IMG_1335.JPG] [attachment=71777:IMG_1334.JPG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mart Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I thought I had a messy office, but even I couldn't hide a bass in amongst the mess!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 I had lent it out a few years ago to a guy here at work. He left and i assumed he had taken the bass with him. Clearing out a load of old boxes etc from behind our production copier i found a box with the bass in it. Turns out he had popped in one day when i was off to return it and left it hidden so no one else took it. My son will be delighted as he loved this bass and missed it more than i did. Ill do a gig with it but i realyl cant see me taking it out much, not without getting funny looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I've just rediscovered mine - when I traded it I was pretty disappointed with the output from the EMG Select P/ups (to be fair I was comparing it to my Jaydee and my VC- both megabucks compared to the Steinberger) - it sat on a stand in my living room and got very little use - TBH I've given it quite a slandering on this site not wanting any potential buyers to have raised expectations of it. The strings were pretty filthy and lifeless so two nights ago I gave them and the frets a clean with White spirit - [b]breathed new life into it[/b]. I sat and played it (it's always had a nice low action and a fast neck..) for over an hour when I was finished!! [b]I've had a complete change of heart with it...and my opinion too!! [/b] Nige, if you're still interested in it your welcome to come and have a try.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Thats crazy! How long has it been there?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redstriper Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I love it - just checked my office and there's nothing even near as cool lying around. If you ever want to sell it, give me a shout - or better still, lend it to me and I'll leave it behind the photo copier when I'm done.

dave_bass5 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 I think its been there for about 2 years so not long i guess. This was taken the day before i lent it out. Mine has a nice low action as well, and i do like the tone from the two pups. Nothing really like a Jazz as they are both humbuckers (i assume). I think i might get a new set fo strings for it but it doesn't need a set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redstriper Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 It suits the lad. Status apparently do nice double ball end strings and not too expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I also found two PC's, a set of crutches and a half drunk bottle of Finest Reserve Port. must be my lucky day. A few years back we used to store my drummers kit and my bass rig ni this room and no one ever noticed it all. Its not a big room either, i just like to keep it messy. Its a shame it has these two large scratches on the front. [attachment=71782:IMG_1334a.JPG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Burpster Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Those scratches are easily enough got rid of if you do it carefully. Touch up paint/lacquer until too high - cut back to flat with wet and dry and then polish - Just like touching up car paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
