Since we're posting build pics, my six string artist is finally moving along, can't wait to see how this looks with the scroll carved!

Fresh from the shop! My brand new Birdsong Ratrod with round wound strings! Paired with a new Boss EQ pedal and this passive bass turns into a slap machine 
Sweet! Congratulations!

Wow, I can't imagine being unhappy with one that much that some minor tweaks couldn't make you happy?
Me too. Love my Corto... can't wait til my 5er is done! (H101, if you want to look on the client page...)
That's actually my favorite pickup combo, other than the twin soapbars. I have a Sadhana with dual hums and it's THICK sounding....that Corto is tempting.
I understand getting a bass and then not feeling like it was a good fit, but to miss the satisfaction guarantee return-policy deadline and still feel the need to turn it around (at a loss) that quickly. I'm chalking it up to "unknown personal circumstances."
That's a beauty, and a great price.
I'm also going to go with the unfortunate personal circumstances reason. Someone may need the money for something more important

I'm getting home from a road trip today and Corto 420 is scheduled to arrive Monday. Very excited! I have nice full scales but I need a more comfortable new muse.
It looks like our 2 basses (C424, H094) are still matching step-for-step through Scott's workshop. And coming soon to the finish line.
Yes! I am expecting to hear from Scott sooner rather than later to confirm shipping address.It looks like our 2 basses (C424, H094) are still matching step-for-step through Scott's workshop. And coming soon to the finish line.
This will bring my total to four.
- 4 string fretted CBass
- 4 string fretted RatRod Corto with just the bridge pickup
- 4 string fretless Fusion
- 5 string H094
C420 arrived and my initial impression is awesome. Very comfortable both weight and reach and I can let it hang lower and play comfortably.
And I'm loving the pickups and placement.
