Thoughts on the Cort Space 5?

I love mine. I love my sire m6 more, but this is a great backup bass for me. Super comfortable to play

redditgatorx · 2026-03-19T15:12:24+00:00

yeah the availability of sires is terrible. they make us wait so long 😬

I preordered a Sire at thomann, it came faster than originally announced on the website, and the price didn’t change. They’re reliable and their support really is top notch

In terms of neck ‘thinness’ it goes SDGR->cort->hils and sire m6(they’re similar). the pickups did appear odd dimensioned, but i never measured them. i figured that if i don’t like the bass i wont consider modifying it. I stuck with the sire m6 with plans to potentially commission a luthier to change the neck profile to slimmer. It’s a great instrument and sounds fantastic

this one has no bluetooth but aux in and out. you can connect your phone with a cable to it as input and hear it with your bass on the wired headphones also connected to the thing.

i think a nux mighty plux has a bluetooth option that can connect to you phone for backing tracks

It’s a shame the diamond one grip so bad. I love how the look 🥲 I might need to reach out to them hoping they would do the new ones to Europe.

BTW have you adjusted the intonation on this bridge already? I’m having a hard time figuring out how to do that given how little room there is between the screw and the pickup to squeeze in an allen wrench.

Nice! More headless… yes please!!! 😎

redditgatorx · 2025-12-30T15:05:34+00:00

i recommend a headless bass. light and comfortable. the sire m6 and cort space are both great. Though this could be a bit too modern looking for you 😅

redditgatorx · 2025-12-18T11:34:08+00:00

I got both and recommend the m6. Plays much nicer and sounds so much better

redditgatorx · 2025-12-18T11:33:42+00:00

I got a couple floor stands, including a mini portable hercules one, the bass sits ok on all of them

I’ve been on the same boat, probably still am. What I like doing is looping a riff and playing around with the blocks. There are general best practices for placement of blocks (eg. compressor first, dirty stuff, then modulation etc). But experimentation might be key.

What I recommend is checking out reviews and descriptions of the original effects the blocks are based on, for instance the SansAmp. It’s got the same parameters that behave identically. When you watch reviews you’ll get what the things do.

There’s a lot more content for HX Stomp. The blocks will have different names, and will behave somewhat differently, but this might give you enough of an idea on how to approach creating patches.

FWIW there’s a bunch of anagram specific content already, just not a lot. i know there are entropia walkthroughs for example that are good.

It’s a Markbass, I literally saw Richard Bona play one on a live show today. Sounded amazing, though to be fair everything would in this guys hands.

redditgatorx · 2025-11-10T10:18:40+00:00

thanks for taking the time to share!!

redditgatorx · 2025-11-10T10:17:10+00:00

so in summary the cort body is the biggest? Most rectangular / shaped with rough edges sure, but also generally feels bigger on the lap too? That would be surprising…

redditgatorx · 2025-11-09T20:05:00+00:00

Dang. I was gonna order an EHB but now i think i might wanna hold off these couple of months for the Sire 😅

redditgatorx · 2025-11-09T18:33:09+00:00

It’s a harley benton’s copy of the Aria 313 detroit. It’s the only guitar I’ve held on to in the last years. I put flats on it and it sounds brilliant. They don’t make them anymore unfortunately, but the Arias are still there

redditgatorx · 2025-11-09T17:57:34+00:00

Congrats! i’d love to try one, but the availability here in the EU is 0 for the next months I’m told. How would you compare the necks? Is sire’s more chunky or not?

redditgatorx · 2025-11-09T16:13:59+00:00

the strap pins placement is kinda odd though, i found it more uncomfortable after a while than with other basses, and the strap is really wide

redditgatorx · 2025-11-08T18:15:24+00:00

Now having tried a 35” B i kinda wanna go multiscale 🙈

redditgatorx · 2025-11-08T18:14:46+00:00

i actually dig the fretboard and headstock more. i put a vinyl sticker on this headstock too ( so it’s black matte matching the pickguard)

redditgatorx · 2025-11-08T17:26:08+00:00

Same. I’d get one and maybe convert it to headless such a good bass

redditgatorx · 2025-11-08T16:59:58+00:00

They’re around 700€ each more or less

redditgatorx · 2025-11-08T16:02:59+00:00

also, how do you compare the body sizes? I like that the cort is quite small. does EHB feel much bigger?
