If they did, I would have ordered one at my local Cort dealer yesterday.

I know they don't, yet I'm still gonna ask the next time I'm in, see if they can find a "new old stock" or something.....

Love that Cort 4 in line headstock, same as on my GB-74

*looks for spare P pickup*

NoobOnRoad · #14 05-14-2009, 07:16 PM

I am curently having another project in mind tho.

P bass with 3 jazz pup.

Darkstrike · #15 05-14-2009, 07:18 PM

Ew. P's need at least one P pickup, IMO, do it to a Jazz.

NoobOnRoad · #16 05-14-2009, 07:30 PM

Anyway it's just a project, and you know what all my projects look like ATM....

Bass Central has one.

They show up on ebay from time to time. Very tempting with the pickup layout; I just can't get past the looks.

de la mocha · #18 05-19-2009, 12:07 PM

Wow, I'm suprized nobody has one.....

Darkstrike · #19 05-19-2009, 12:12 PM

I have my local shop on the lookout for one, and they're checking with their suppliers, and Cort, to see if there's one left in a warehouse somewhere...

This bass would be awesome with a drop tuner, or even a trem!

Looks like the P is way too far forward, but taking the 24 fret neck into consideration, the bass coil is pretty much in the P position.

Cort marketing drops the ball again, not a lot of folks knew this existed.
If they made a 5 stringer I'd have picked it up in a heartbeat.
