That’s a pretty cool sounding bass. Even though I’m not a big fan of headless instruments, the design on this bass looks nice.

@richardcyrka6682 4 ай бұрын

One huge benefit of a headless design is it eliminates dead spots. Ned Steinberger way way back, did incredible research relating to the pitfalls of wooden guitars. The most immediate benefit of the headless design, is it's balance and weight. Far superior to the more traditional style of construction. I have a headless Status Bass, I wouldn't part with it for any price. You will get a big bang for your money with this Cort bass, and a great introduction into the world of headless.

I got mine 10 days ago and took it out for a spin tonight. 5h partycover gig for about 1000 people. What should I say. Niw I have to explain my wife, that I will not send it back. It is a keeper. Lightweight, well crafted, very solid tone, fits in all genres aaaaand the B string really is a weapon. Unbelievable for the price. ❤❤❤

although cort has made headless years ago, I think they have learnt a lot from the Ibanez EHB basses. I can see a lot of improvement in the headpiece, absence of nut and smaller fingerboard radius in comparison to the same batch manufactured EHB. the stick out string ends issue is fixed in this bass.

This bass is another missed opportunity for Cort: If they had made it multi-scale, then with their prices it could have been one of the best-selling new basses, especially popular among metal players.

@christianhildalgo 2 ай бұрын

It not being multiscale or at least 35" is the only reason I didn't buy one immediately when they came out. Although I mist admit the B string still sounds pretty defined. My Cort A5SC doesn't sound that defined, probably because of the different preamp.

I'm debating grabbing this headless bass, or the Cort A5 SC (not fan fret). Which would you recommend? Going to a store to try them in not possible in the country where I live.

@christianhildalgo 2 ай бұрын

I have a cort A5 SC. Feels great. To me it sounds worse because of the active preamp being MK1 as well. The Space has a better sounding preamp. I love the A5 SC regardless. Definitely go for whichever feels right to you.
