He has at least 8 of the things. We bought him a Fender bass for Christmas when he was in 8th grade. The store told us he would be happy with it for years. But he is 39 now and is always happy to find a new must have.

First, I don’t believe in gig bags. If you can scrape up enough money to buy or make a hard shell case that is always preferable to protect the instrument.

I’m a classical player and my knowledge of Cordorba is limited to those instruments. The lower class of guitars C-3, C-5, C-7 are okay as student instruments. Upper range instruments like the C-10 and C-12 are quality instruments on par or superior to instruments in their class.

My next instrument will also be a Cordorba as I’m looking at their Fusion models. I’ll be selling Martins to buy one - that’s how highly I think of them.

I’ll expect a full review of your new bass when it arrives.

P.S. James Jamerson on Burnadette still knocks me out!

I'm always very careful in transporting my instruments and don't fly or take other public transportation...I'm an old guy and play mostly for myself...Selling Martins, hmmm...The only Martin Guitar I ever owned was a Little Martin HPL X model...it was ok but I sold it at some point...If anything I could likely fit the little Gator Gig Bag inside of a full size hardshell guitar case I own so there's that...
