PRICE DROP TO $400 OR BEST OFFER!!!!! THIS HAS TO SELL!!!
I am selling a very rare and unusual Cort that I believe to be Japanese made (it might be Korean-- I am still doing research) with active PJ electronics and neck through construction. It is in almost flawless condition save for one small nick by the upper strap button that I tried to photograph for you below.
This bass has many design characteristics similar to the Daion's which you can read about here.:

I suspect this Cort and the Daions made at the same factory in Japan but cannot be sure as little information is available about these guitars. I know Cort made guitars in Japan early on and then later migrated to Korea and the similarities to this bass and some of the older MIJ Daions is uncanny. It was quite common in those days for multiple companies to contract the same factory which would spew out instruments with similar designs and components for added efficiency. For example, consider the Matsumoku factory which produced for Aria, Vantage and Westone. Those three lines had very similar construction and all had identical headstocks!
Note this bass has a similar electronics configuration and construction to the MkX (right down to the shortish headstock) and the same exact bridge and pickups as the Savage. Check out those Daions here:

My asking price is now reduced to $400 shipped in the CONUS which is about 1/2 the going rate of the Daion Mk X and about the same as the Savage (at least that is what I paid for mine). Naturally, I am accepting best offers. I don't want to sell this bass but I do need to thin the herd to finance other acquisitions and endeavors. If you are outside the CONUS I am going to have to add to the price for the extra costs of shipping.
I would consider trades too but much prefer cash.
Thanks for looking and please PM me if you have any questions. Pics below:
