With the controls even, pickups level, and the switch in passive mode, I was greeted with a bright, responsive bass that was comfortable with every note on the maple neck. I also like how the controls sit out in the open, with the clear pickguard stopping short of including the controls. The volume pot works double duty as a push-pull for active and passive switching. The wide neck and 19 mm string spacing made me work! If you are considering the jump from a 4- to 5-string with this bass, be prepared for quite an adjustment.ĭialing in a startup tone isn’t hard with the GB since the electronics are easy to navigate. The body is comfortable, but the striking feature for me is the 12" radius on the neck. With the bass strapped up, it laid even and comfortably with zero neck dive. I plugged the GB75JH into an Eden CXC210 combo as well as a Line 6 Helix for some processed tones. The humbucker on the GB75JH keeps this tradition alive with a huge and snappy tone that should find a home just about anywhere. My experience with this pickup combo has leaned more toward a modern, edgy sound with the Jazz-style pickup in the neck position being the yin to the humbucker’s yang. The presentation is slick and I like the Jazz-style/humbucker pickup combo, which can land us on many points of the tone map.
It’s a 35"-scale, 5-string, Jazz-style bass with a fat humbucker staring at me-almost taunting. Out of the box, the GB75JH just looks like a beast. And by aligning itself with such luminaries and building on their experience, Cort has come out swinging with new lines of mid-priced instruments, which blend affordability with well-detailed craftsmanship. Artists such as Jeff Berlin and Frank Gambale have worked with Cort on successful, well-made artist models. “Budget friendly” and “master built” are rarely uttered in the same paragraph, let alone the same sentence, but Cort has been working at altering the reputation that can follow a company after making a name in entry-level instruments. Chances are you’ve had your hands on something engineered and manufactured by the South Korea-based company. It’s no secret the company has been making an extensive line of budget friendly basses bearing its name for decades, but there are also lots of other brands being manufactured under Cort factory roofs as well.

CORT BASS 6116455 SERIES
The solid Sitka spruce top on the Gold Series is ideal for virtually any musical genre with a brilliant, clear high-end, warm and rich midrange, and a deep but tight low-end for a beautifully balanced sound. The torrefication process allows the solid Sitka spruce top to cure and open up more over time resulting in a big, open tone that's bright yet natural.
Cort's hallmark Aged to Vintage (ATV) treatment gives this new guitar the tone of a decades-old acoustic. This guitar delivers a sound that's larger than its compact size indicates and offers a level of dynamic responsiveness that's reinforced by Cort's hand-scalloped x-bracing. The Gold-OC8 features a classic OM cutaway body (25.3-inch scale), a style that was initially developed in the 1920s and captures the prized pre-war era tone that's highly sought-after in classic acoustic models.
