I have to be honest, I never thought Scott would ever build a 6 string. Boy was I wrong :)! It's good to see him expanding the models and options, now all we need is a Cortobass with two single coils to get that Jazz vibe...

Hi everyone, I haven't been on in a while so for those with a Cbass what is the consensus? I want one for my next bass but I can't decide between a maple or rosewood fingerboard. I like the warmer P sound. I'm trying to get Scott to record a short clip with a cbass with a Maple fingerboard so...

Hey guys, I haven't been on here in a while. Bandit Cosmo congrats I'm so jealous I want a Cbass so bad but I'm trying to save money as I'm still unemployed. So, I have sent 9C-173 back to Scott for repair because the fret ends on the treble side of the neck have started to slightly and I...

Dan, While I don't own a Hofner I do own a Birdsong Cortobass and being short (barely 5 ft tall with small hands) the Cortobass is a very good fit. It fits me like a glove and everyone that has played it has said how amazing it sounds and feels. It's not a cheap bass(mine was $1634 US), but...

I would have to hear one before I buy one. Oh man, Scott's got me torn between a Cpbass and a L30P from Jimmy Wilson from Landing Guitars grrrrrr! Could someone explain the reverse P configuration for me? I wonder if this bass will sound anything like a Fender P-bass even though it's a...

I know I'm druling just thinking about it! A short scale P-bass in true semitransparent blond with a faux burst with either a quarter pounder or NP4 pup sweet! Oh and I think you could find a way up here if you really wanted to lol! My Birdsong? Well, I love it because it has very low...

Dude, that sounded awesome! You play better than I do haha! You're right, that pup has great tone and clarity. I emailed Jimmy and asked about a semitransparent blond finish and here's what he said.. "Sure………… I do true blonde finishes that are transparent. I did a wonderful...

I wondered if he called blond something else because blond is like a standard colour for a P-bass if you know what I mean. I'll have to ask Jimmy if he can order a NP4 for me. Do you have any clips of your P-bass? I'm curious to hear how it sounds with the Sunbeams. What would you...

Dude, you're making me drule! Does Jimmy offer a blond or semitransparent blond finish because he sent me a list of finishes and blond or semitransparent blond wasn't on it. Is blond called something else maybe? Hmmm, I wonder why he didn't mention the NP4... Does he use Nordstrand...

Well, I'm seriously thinking about ordering a Landing L30P. I want a short scale P-bass. I was going to go the SX route but I've read about too many problems with them quality wise. Jimmy recommended this: an L30P with a Seymour Duncan quarter pounder (I want to get as close to that...

Thanks guys I didn't realize that there were some short scale P-basses out there besides the Mustang and Bronco. Loopppee I'll check that out thanks. Hey Dark horse can you describe the bass you sent me pictures of? I am totally blind and I use a screen reader which converts text on the...

Hey Shy Guy, I own a Cortobass and I absolutely love it. Everyone who has either played it or heard it has said to me that it's the best short scale bass because it doesn't neck dive and it's very versital. You can play rock, jazz and everything in between.

I'm in a bit of a delemma because I love the sound and tone of a P-bass, but I can't play one. There just too big for my small hands. So, I was thinking about contacting my local Fender Custom Shop Dealer to see if the Fender Custom Shop could build me a short scale P-bass. Is this even...

I thought Scott uses Curt Mangan nickel roundwounds .045-.105 gauge on the Cortobass, Hy5, and Skyrider, but maybe I'm wrong. My Cherry Cortobass came with the Curt Mangan nickel roundwounds. If you don't like the Mangans, Scott suggested to me that SIT Strings would be good as well (don't get...

Sorry to change the subject a bit, but I was wondering how much different the neck on the Hy5 is compared to the neck on the Cortobass. Also, I took my Cortobass in to my local Long And Mcquade (it's like GC in the states) and had it restrung and had a drop-D tuner installed. The guitar tech...
