It’s fuckin cool. Sits on the other leg super well. Surprising contrast to my ol’ sg bass in that regard - emgs sound good too.

Aaaaaaaaaa :D

I am so pleased
That is a cracking bass, needs flats though :)

I've put literally hundreds of hours on my short scale in the recent months. My muscle memories are built on it. I'm hitting bum notes constantly on a long scale ~ love it though, probly my one and only now!

Yeah I know, was tempted by that before I went for the Cort. I'd have the same problem with the long scale though lol.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Frets are largely decorative. Neck appears to be 3pc. Maple.
Tuners obviously aren’t original, and by golly what a cowboy job they were. :problem:

I'm drooling over your ampeg amp too, just because it needs a decent head cab ;)

You're so right mate! It's a great head, but since getting the Fender (which seems to do the Ampeg-y thing very well) I have no space. :-)
