Cort headless bass $275 shipped Made in 1982 I believe. MEC active pickups with Japanese 2-band preamp, volume pull to engage tone cap. Goes from super clear and crisp to very deep with numerous useful tones in between. Added a bar for better balance on the strap. Plenty of character and players wear. Truss rod works. Comfortable, unique and light weight at a little over 7lbs.
I had one of these years ago. They are actually really stable basses. Is it black paint wearing off over a red base coat?
It’s actually red paint splatters over the black base paint by a previous owner. It’s very 80’s and period correct so I left it like that. Cheers
