At the NAMM Music show, Cort unveiled their newest range of bass guitars; the GB Series basses. The GB Series basses are for the modern players with a leaning towards the traditional look and feel but with modern appointments and features that improve the overall performance of the instrument.
GB Series Basses
The Cort GB Series Bass are one of the newest offerings from Cort. They come in an array of woods ranging from Swamp Ash to Poplar. Each of the basses comes in a 4-string or a 5-string version.
GB Custom NAT
The GB custom bodies are made of Swamp Ash with a Spalted Maple Top. This gives players a classic tone with a modern twist. Because of the nature of Spalted Maple, every single bass in the series will have a unique look.
To bring out the natural tone of these woods requires some great electronics. To that end, Cort has stuck some Seymour Duncan pickups into the bass. The pickups used to allow for a wide sonic range right at your fingertips.
To ensure that you remain plugged in while playing, Cort has added a Neutrik locking output jack to the bass. This means that if you accidently step on your cable, it will stay firmly in place.
GB7 Series
The GB75/74 basses are also made from Swamp Ash, but they don’t have the Spalted Maple top. This allows for a completely classic bass tone.
The 7 series features a single-coil neck pickup and a Jazz-MM humbucker in the bridge. The addition of a 3 band EQ and coil tap allow for some great tonal versatility.
GB3 Series
The GB Series Basses also come in an entry-level offering. The basses have been designed to look, feel and sound like a vintage bass. They basses capture the essence of the classic bass sounds that remain timeless to this day.
