FS: Cort Curbow 6

Sign in to disble this ad
$500 shipped conUS. Like new with all factory hardware.

- Luthite body
- 34" scale
- Maple neck with Ebonol fingerboard
- 25 jumbo frets
- Bartolini Active MK-1 pickups
- 1 master volume, 3-band active EQ
- "Slap Switch" with adjustable micro pots on the back

I am trying to get some money together to buy my first upright bass. This bass plays great and is in pretty much flawless condition. I couldn't find any scratches/blemishes on the body. I recently had it set up by Indiana luthier Andrew Henry and couldn't be happier with the results, but as I said before, my priorities are elsewhere right now! PM for closeups.

Bump for a great bass! I have one of these in the burl finish. The best low B in this price range hands down. Also, a very thin neck for those of you into that kind of thing. Good luck with the sale.

I used to have a Cort Curbow 5. It was very light - maybe 8.5 pounds - so I'd guess the 6'er is around 9.

@ Bassman7PM - It is indeed right at 9 pounds. String to string spacing is .625 inches. I play mostly 5-string now and find the switch very easy!

For anyone interested, here's a review of the same bass I found:

Curbow

I have this same kind of bass sitting here (well I am back to 5s as well =/) All I can say is that it gets complements everywhere I take it. Sound guys really love how it sits in the mix. It has a very warm and "round" quality to its tone (probably because of the ebonal fretboard or maybe the plastic body). Very good for Jazz/Rnb or rock. Extremely easy to play and very light. You really cant go wrong with this bass for the money if you need a 6er. They are pretty hard to find to....
