*Stand is Not included, but if interested let me know*
I have enough basses and not enough room, so I'm willing to part ways with this bass but it worked really well for me for over a decade.
This is an older (more than 10 years and I bought it used 2nd hand? 3rd hand???) Cort 5-String C5 model but has been kept in Excellent condition and recently worked on and now better than ever!
Bass made in Korea prior to manufacturing moved to Indonesia.
Case is in Excellent condition.
(Original price of Bass was $350.00 10+ years ago, plus Original price of new Case 1+ year ago was $160.00 = $510.00)
Pickups: 2 Ceramic Active Pickups (exact type/brand unknown). 9V battery in back compartment.
Controls: 2 Volume controls, 1 for each pickup, plus a Master High EQ and Master Low EQ (each controls EQ for both pickups). Controls are smooth with no "crackling" sounds when turning knobs/potentiometers,the Detents on the EQ knobs are still nice and noticeable at the "neutral" positions.
Neck: Maple. Standard length with 2 Octaves of frets on the fretboard. The Inlays are actually Jockomo brand inlay stickers - they can be removed if not wanted or changed. There are fret-marker Dots under all the inlay-stickers.
What I have done (Free Labor!!!):
I recently re-seated all the frets, set them with wicking CA(removable with hot soldering iron), leveled the frets, semi-crowned the lower octave frets for durability and fully crowned higher octave frets for best intonation (and polished the frets afterward) so it sounds better than it was before and likely better than when I bought it. I also re-seated the string anchor more securely near the bridge and re-assembled the bridge much better than it was so it's now much easier to adjust string-height and intonation and it's all more secure. The strings are New and the same DR strings from the package in the picture. Fingerboard wood sealed with Paste Wax (removable with Naphtha) for better dirt/grime resistance and reduces neck changes due to humidity changes.
FREE ADJUSTMENT!!! - I have this bass set with fairly low action since I play chords and finger-style, but I can adjust it to better suit your playing style and do it "while you wait" so you can see if you like it as is or like it better if you want any adjustments.
You're welcome to bring your own a small amp to try it out if you want to see how it sounds through your amp or you can play it through my amp. If you don't know how to do this sort of adjustment yourself, I'll gladly show you how.
Free Goodies Included:
- Black Strap (seen on the Bass),
- Blue-ish Strap,
- Capo with cam-lock (yes, really - I use a Capo often on a bass),
- 2 Allen Wrench Hex Keys for both the Truss Rod and the Bridge Saddles,
- Set of old strings in case of breakage of new strings (not likely), they still sound OK,
- Set of New "very lightly used" lighter gauge strings,
- 2 circle rotation cam-locking Strap Locks.
** I can probably supply an extra 9V battery or bass string-winder if needed.
Phone calls:
-Call after 8am and before 9pm, phone is a Landline (no texting) and has an answering machine (yes, really).
