Can you string on the bridge to, or is it thru body only?

 

[superblues]

Very pretty. Bridge looks different than on the one I owned. I did not have the string thru option.

 

[P. Aaron]

Nice looking bass! Congrats!

Kind of a weird way to put it but yes you can.

Thanks,
It would be hard to beat the quality on this Bass. I once paid a lot of money for options like this in a custom Bass but I don't think that is necessary now days.
I sold all my high end Basses and now only buy these "snob-less" models, though they are not cheap they are Beautiful instruments and sound as good and in some cases better than anything I ever owned. (depends on the strings)
I have a ESP LTD B5E that is excellent also.
These Basses just don't have the snob appeal to be popular here, yet.
Cort makes a lot of popular Basses for familiar manufacturers...

First off, Beautiful bass! Congrats!

Back in the old days I wouldn't have been caught dead with a Cort, But their new stuff is really nice and well built. I recently played a GB5 Custom on a local shop and it's a pretty awesome bass. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the 15 3/4 radius on it, but I've gone back to play it a couple of times and the more I've played it the better it feels.

Anyway, Congrats again!

 

[Gabriel51]

Thanks,
Hopefully by posting this information and pictures here people will see that there are options to only having a dream of a high end boutique Bass with exotic woods and top notch components.
I had a 7 grand Bass which was very nice (no names) but this bass I would say is a step above it.

Musicman Bongos. They are so comfortable either in 4 or 5 configuration.

 

[LCBurt]

Congadulations! Thats a beautiful bass.

I have a B5 that I think sounds very good. I love the neck on mine, very comfortable. Its not quite as pretty as that one though.

 

[Carver]

Nice. I've always liked Cort stuff.

 

[Gabriel51]

Thanks;
Also, Cort was the Best of NAM 2012 winner with the "Curbow52 " in the Bass category.

 

[IngerAlb]

Very nice Artisan My fav from the bunch is the one with zebrano top, but still, very cool looking bass And pretty underrated brand...

 

[darkstorm]

Good that it can be bridge loaded for strings. Couldnt tell from the pics of bridge. Does look like very nice bass.
