crazycloud Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 (edited) I've always fancied one of these and I found one for sale at about 550quid delivered, new. Tone is good, doesn't feel all that different from my Ibanez SRs in neck shape, good Hipshot hardware and 16mm spacing. There's not a lot of flame in the front, but I don't care for the price, and it's subtle looking overall. I need to spend some time setting it up properly, but it's minor only and I could have played it live out of the box. Rushed pics taken in my jungle of a yard that hasn't been getting the attention it should as it's getting towards Christmas and work is hectic. As this is now my 6th 6, I think I'll leave it for a while unless I can afford an EHB1006MS. Edited December 8, 2023 by crazycloud 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binky_bass Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Great basses these. I've had a few over the years - they compete with basses of a much higher price point. Good score sir! Enjoy. 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudpup Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 I've got the 4 string version. Probably one of the best basses I've ever had and it's an undiscovered gem generally. (It's seen off Spectors, Warwicks and Stingrays in the last few years) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacecowboy Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Like others in the thread I’ve had 6ers and 5ers of the Cort Artisans and they never disappoint such fantastic instruments, congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Heard only good things about these. I've been looking for the single cut version to come up for sale - preferably with a broken headstock so that I could dehead (behead?) it and make it headless. One of these or an Ibanez SRSC805... If anyone breaks theirs, please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
