    I cannot believe this showed up on my feed. I’ve owned this bass since the 80s. This is very inspiring.

    That was an interesting choice of color; however, you did a fantastic job on this restoration. Well done, sir.

    I had a memphis branded bass identical to that a while back that I fixed up, I can only assume it was manufactured by cort, it worked out great because I happened to have the tuners and bridge from an older squier bronco and a mexican p-bass pickup lying around and they were a direct fit, it was super light and fit in a guitar-sized case which were cool

    My first bass that I got when I was 9 was a white Cort bass identical to this one. I’m in my forties now 😂

    Great work man. About to start a "Kay" made in Korea bass I got off of a friend. Looks just like this one. Got a lot of good tips from this video. Much love from Ashland Virginia, USA.

    thanks for sharing! that's a beautiful finish. pickups sounded really rumbly and distorted... not sure if that was just on the vid versus how it sounded in person.

    Thank alot I think I'm using a guitar amp instead of a bass amp so it created those distorting
