andyonbass Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) This Fantastic instrument has been perfect for me to make the transition from fretted to fretless bass, and only the arrival of a shiny new custom fretless makes this now surplus to my requirements. It is the more desirable Korean made model, in a fabulous translucent white finish over a nicely figured Ash body, finished with a Tort pickguard. It has an unlined 34" fretless Ebony board, with dot markers on the pitch at the 3rd, 5th, 7, 9, 12, 15, 17, 19 and 21st positions where the frets would have been. It comes with Hipshot hardware and a Neutrick locking jack as standard and the string spacing at the bridge is about 18mm. It is fitted with a [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/East_Preamps_U_Retro.html"]John East U-Retro[/url], with black controls, and has an exceedingly wide range of tones as you would expect.. It weighs in at about 10½ lbs according to my bathroom scales and is in tip top condition with no visible marks or scratches. Comes with a gig bag.

grahamd Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Stunner! Made in the same factory as Lakland Skylines too if I'm not mistaken, so build quality is tip top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bengovier182 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Fellow cortman bump. Cort do not get as much love as they deserve, excellent all round basses. The translucent white on this is stunning. Ben. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
