The CORT Club!!!

[jinithith2]

I just put on schaller 5 roller bridge to replace the stock Cort 3535 bass bridge and the difference is amazing. The string sounds and FEELS more solid now and I can get a much better slap tone out of it, not to mention increasing the string spacing

Over the summer or if I get some $ before I'm gonna upgrade my Cort A5 with an Aguilar OBP-3 preamp and some Nordstrand pickups, probably the big singles or the splits. Pictures will come soon after.

Cool, a club i can join!

I bought myself a second hand, mint condition Cort A5 last week.
I'm saving up for a MM 5-HS, but had to settle for something cheaper for now. I've tried out several brands in search for the perfect 5 string (at least the brands that are availiable here, which isn't a lot here in Belgium). The feel of the neck being a very important issue. Untill last week the MM was the only one that i found comfortable, really comfortable even, AND that had the right sound. So i'm completely in love with the MM.
As i said, the MM is a bit too expensive for now. So goin on a hunch I tried this Cort A5. I was impressed, so i took it home, changed the strings, set up the bridge (which appearantly hadn't been done ever before) an I absolutely loved it! I looks so fine too, its the old honey-burst, quilted maple body with the rock maple and wenge 5-piece neck.

The neck is great, i adore the neck through, the sound is really good and the sustain is impressive.
OK, it's not a MM, but I think a Cort is absolutely the best bass you can get in that price range.

Hi,

Does anyone know the weight of a Cort GB74. I am looking for a really lightweight bass, but I need to know how lightweight they are...

Thanks,

Mike

Count me in. I am very happy with my GB-75. I have to post some pics, but frankly, if you have seen one stock GB-75, you've seen them all.

Just bought off eBay an Artec 2 band active eq preamp for my Cort Action V. I've notice lots of people asking how they sound etc. At £14 + £4 PP I couldn't really see the point of not trying one out at such a low price. Especially when you consider that most 'good' ones start roughly at £50+. Will let you how I get on and will post pics etc....

 

[Dr. Cheese]

Here are some pics of my GB-75. The other bass is my Yamaha BB405 with DiMarzio Ultra Jazz pickups installed.

I have 2 curbows, I'll put the pics up soon

Want in...

Have a B5 Cort in Natural Maple. Beautiful bass. Bart MK1s. Issues with it cutting out
occasionally so haven't been using a lot. Need to take the time to resolder connections
to the preamp. When it's working I love it. But can't rely on being on stage and having
it cut out. Great feel and low growl. Play thru Ampeg SVT 4Pro with Eden 410 top and
Ampeg 15 bottom. Growwwwwwl.

Can I have #259?

Ampeg Owners Club #259
Ibanez Owners Club #259

Hey All

I just bought a brand new Cort RB-5 in Melbourne.

What a great bass.

Can I join the Cort Club?

I've seen this signature on the Cort Curbows a few times. The one I just got has it too.

I'm not sure if it's one of the ones Greg Curbow signed (the few that are/were sold through the Curbow shop).
It just doesn't quite match the signature of Greg's on the front of the headstock. OR is it the way Greg signed his name on everyday occasions.

Yup that is Greg's signature. He signed my cort curbow 6 as well when I purchased it from him four or so years ago(wow has it been that long!?). If I recall correctly him signing it is the indication that he setting up that particular bass.

Just got me a new Cort, an Artisan C4H!
Corts get nowhere near enough credit, they are fantastic axes!

Never knew Cort made a bass like that. Looks like an Ibanez SRX390 copy.

Never noticed that till you said.
Close indeed.

 

[MadMark5]

yeah, I've never seen them, but I haven't seen the newer models this year either, maybe cort went for an Ibanez copy. even the body contours would be new, especially for an artisan...

as always, PM me for a number if you want in the Cort club.I'm not on as much so I sometimes miss the posts asking....

I also noticed that the new Artisan C series has dual MM humbuckers instead of soapbars. Looks neat.
