New Cort shortscale bass!

[BassApprentice]

So dealers have started updating their websites - £299.

 

How does that sit given specs and what you might choose as an alternative?

It’s very similar spec wise to the Ashdown Capri but with an active preamp for £50 more. So, that’s not bad really.

Finally - a new bass I can (almost) justify buying! I've been shortscale-curious for years but so far nothing's been pink enough well specced & affordable enough for me to justify it.

 

In the wildly unlikely event that the UK market gets anything other than the drab green one, I'm in. 😎

Well I'm in, it seems interesting enough for a punt. I flirt with short scale every now & then, I got a forest green (drab green) one from Jimmy Egypt, they promise a set up before delivery which should be tomorrow.

 

I'll give it a try for Saturday's gig and let you know my thoughts

Well - there goes my weekend plans! I was going to swing by Jimmy's and try it 😂

Any thoughts after gigging it?
