F/S Cort Elrick NJS 4 - *SOLD* £550 Chorley, Lancs. PR6

[ead]

Hi folks

 

Another lovely bass sadly having to go.  This is a great active modern J bass with some stand-out features.  The bass has a zero fret (like Sandbergs), a bone nut, 24-fert neck with deep cut away in body for easy access and a very nice "heelless" joint for even better access, a tilted back headstock and noiseless pickups.

 

The bass is in excellent condition and comes with the original high-quality Cort gig bag.  I have also added some soft-touch control knobs with tell tales as the original fit items are fine but you can't tell at a glance where the settings are.

 

The controls are:

Volume (pull for preamp bypass)

Blend

Treble

Mids (pull for mid frequency shift)

Bass
