Hey guys, I've been using my Cort RB5 lately and have become dissatisfied with the sound I am getting. From my searching I have found that the pre is what is really lacking and 'should' be upgraded ahead of the pickups, but the thing is all my my EQ comes from my head (Eden wt-550 into a...

thanks for the ideas guys, i did like the octave up slide you put in the chorus... i might work on something like that. I think both of you were most creative through the verse, which is the part I was least interested in :p. I'm already pretty set on what I've got for that - as far as the...

ah nice one, I did try just emulating the lead with just octaves on the root of the chord. Will definitely have a crack at that. My problem is I was doing a sort of melodic line through the chorus that everyone in the band (including myself) grew to hate. Problem is every time I hear the...

ouch... I think you'll find tho the chords are fine anyway, its called a joke brah. Why the hate?

:help::help::help: Alright, time for the back story real quick. I bought a 2nd hand eden 410XLT cab of ebay for what i think is a steal, $450 Australian plus shipping, which came to a total of $650. Anyway, as soon as it arrived home with it, i plug it into a monitor output on my rehearsal PA...

Thanks for the replies. I was under the impression that these basses were no longer produced, so are these basses still being sold in the states? Are they just stock yet to be sold, or still being produced? Id think that once u cant buy the RB5 new from stores the price for a 2nd hand one...

Hey everyone, yes this is my first post here. Anyway i bought a Cort RB5 not long ago and for whatever reason ive decided i dont really have a use for it (i realised i never play it). I bought it mainly because i wanted to get into writing/playing more solo style, melodic and chord bassed...
