Light as a pair of feathers…Perfectly balanced…NOT designed for sitting down and playing on your knee…The straightest, truest neck I’ve ever played.
I have Huge Respect for Cort basses…enough so that I own another; an ABG.

The kid described this one as ‘Bowling Ball Orange’.
$300 off the wall at GC, 1999…

I've been wondering whether the Fullerton Fallout was worth the price difference. When I saw the pearl grey with maple FB I was smitten, and I thought "I'll sell my Tribute version to help pay for it." I think the US G&L is worth it, though it sounds the same. The finish on the neck is completely different, as is the quality of wood. The tuners say G&L on them but are really no better than the ones on the Tribute. Same with the rest of the hardware and electronics. After taxes, I will be out over $1k over what the Tribute will bring after shipping. I will definitely keep the US one and sell the Tribute, but it really says a lot about the quality of East Asian instruments at their price-point. The alder is a little bit lighter too, but I'm hard pressed to find advantages of the US Fallouts.
