Up for sale or trade is my cort artisan A5. This is a sweet sounding and playing bass. Cosmetically it has some wear marks and a handful of light scratches, but are hard to see even when looking close. The bass has a pretty tight string spacing and a thin fast neck. You can see all the technical specs and a soundclip at http://www.cort.co.kr/english/products/common/view.asp?product_id=79

I strung the bass with DR lowriders a couple weeks ago so they are still sounding good. Comes with a gig bag.
$500 + shipping

For trades i am looking for P/J basses. Doesnt have to be fender. I will add cash for the right bass. I prefer a p body, jazz neck and both pickups, but will consider other options.

I picked one of these up in a store, and was extremely impressed with the feel. The neck profile felt really good from the nut all the way up to the body, sort of a flat, wide ellipse. Good enough to make me think, "If I ever build a bass, this is one of the ones I'm going to measure up first."

Bump for you.

That body wood is just gorgeous!:cool:

I have an A5, and they are the most comfortable 5-string I've ever held. His has a MUCH nicer body flame then mine, but mine has a matching headstock. The asking price on this bass is very reasonable.

This is actually what i did for the bass i am currently building. Although i tweaked the body shape a tad. Great bass... BUMP!
