Cash for Gas: Cort B2 Headless For Sale lic. by Steinberger

[rogerbmiller]

For those of you just tuning in, I have been liquidating some of my basses to finance some recent and upcoming purchases as well as a costly neck repair.

Listed here is a Cort B2 headless bass, passive, with PJ pickup configuration licensed by Steinberger and made in the 80's in black finish.

These were made in the same factory overseas as the Hohners and hands down, Hohner and Cort made the best copies. Well, actually Hohner made the best copy, way better than the Spirits to this day and priced accordingly.

Cort however, took the Steinberger design and made it their own. Dare I say, they actually improved it in some ways.

This Cort has two design features which make it unique in its own right and some would say these features are improvements over the original design.

First, the body sides are very slightly contoured thus there is no need for the retractable leg rest. This just sits on your knee like any old bass does.

Second, the "headstock" where the string are anchored behind the zero fret is tilted back ever so slightly thus emulating the string pull of a more traditional bass. One bummer about Steinies is that the necks really bow as both string ball ends are level and just pull the neck up.

This bass is overall in good shape. There is some slight finish wear and chipping as pictured. This is not from hard living-- wood Steinies and their copies just had really thin finishes. There is also some oxidation on the pickup poles which can be removed with some patience and 0000 steel wool.

This bass is a joy to play. Light as a feather, less than 7 lbs, and really low action. Great passive sound and flexibility from the P/J configuration.

Asking PRICE DROPPED TO $200 shipped CONUS or first best reasonable offer, and please do make an offer if you love this bass cuz I need cash for gas! Unfortunately I do not have a case for this one but I will ship double boxed for extra protection. Check my feedback. I pack bombproof.

Detailed pcs below. If you have any questions, please PM me.

Thanks.

I had one of these. Very nice sound from these basses. Mine, however, was active but only added a slight decibel boost when switched on. No pre-amp. Just the V/V/T. The sound is very clean and clear from these basses.


Friendly bump.

Is there any possibility of trades?

Trades are possible though it is my preference to sell outright. PM me with what you have and maybe we can deal.

I was the one who bought it, along with your Ibby SR505 varidmid IIRC. I loved that active Cort. I sold it foolishly as I thought the rod was busted. I came to find out later that they freeze and can be unfrozen with ferrees corrosion cracker.

I still have the Ibby. That thing is a poor man's Wal!
