I have a better idea.


Take the money you would spend on drugs for the next month and you will have enough to buy one.

Jody LeCompte 10-27-2006 12:20 AM

I dont spend any money on drugs...

So how exactly do you come by all this contraband?

Jody LeCompte 10-27-2006 12:25 AM

Well, firstly, I only smoke once a week...

Secondly, good friends a pusher.

Ahhhhh.


Well, save up and you can buy your own Cort, I have other expenses that need more urgent attention thasn furnishing others with instruments.

Jody LeCompte 10-27-2006 12:31 AM

Yeah.

Ive got $400 saved to put an electric guitar on layaway. I dont know what Im going to do with my basses as of now, except that the fretless is staying

Which Cort are you looking at specifically?

Jody LeCompte 10-27-2006 12:44 AM

I loved everything about the B4, I loved the curbow best but didnt like the feel of the body.

[quote=Jody LeCompte;13518263]I loved everything about the B4, I loved the curbow best but didnt like the feel of the body.[/quote]

Yep, the B4FL is a great little bass.


I played a B5 fretted yesterday with a mahogany body.

I was very impressed, had a similar neck in feel to a warwick which I loved, plus the tone out of it was beautiful, very rich and warm.

Jody LeCompte 10-27-2006 12:52 AM

I liked the curbow tone more, but the lower horn threw me off. If I played standing more I wouldn't mind but I seldomly stand.

I found the curbow tone to be a bit too "synthetic"for my tastes. I found the B series to have more versatility and richness in the tone.


I might actually prefer the B series with the swamp ash and mahogany bodies to the nicer built A series.

Plus the fact that Corts or dirt cheap and the quality is great is a real added bonus.

What I would really like is one of their Elrick models.

Jody LeCompte 10-27-2006 01:00 AM

The swampash cort is the one I played.

ebe9 10-27-2006 01:08 AM

[quote=Jody LeCompte;13518291]The swampash cort is the one I played.[/quote]


My one has that body, great sound.

I would love to track one down that has the mahoganny bodyand A/B them.

Might actually just build one and be done with it.

Buying gear sucks now, the store I work in got written up for some labor law dispute so now my checks are going to be like $40 less a week.. :(

Did you sign a contract with them?

Or are you just casual staff?

Jody LeCompte 10-27-2006 01:25 AM

I dont have a contract per say, but they do have papers on me.

My work permit allows 25 hours a week, I was sneaking 40.
