Headless Bass- Made By Cort - Back In The Day -

This a fantastic find. The Cort Space Bass from the early '80s is a classic "lawsuit era" piece that captured the futuristic headless aesthetic of the time without the massive price tag of an original Steinberger [1, 2]. Here are a few highlights based on those specs:

  • The Licensed Bridge: Having the Steinberger-licensed hardware is key. These systems are known for incredible tuning stability because they eliminate the standard headstock "string pull" [2].
  • The "Space" Vibe: While most headless basses of that era were rectangular "paddles," the Space P-Bass model is cooler because it keeps that familiar Precision Bass body contour while losing the head [1, 3].
  • The Pickups: Those Power Sound pickups are period-correct for Cort. They tend to have a punchy, mid-forward growl that works great for slap or 80s rock [1].
  • Unique Aesthetic: A white fingerboard (likely a refinish or overlay, as you noted) against a black gloss body is a high-contrast look that definitely stands out on stage.

The "cosmetic history" like the jack repair and patina is standard for a 40-year-old road warrior. Its a bass with plenty of character left in it....
