Cort GB Series GB Short Scale Bass Guitar

DESCRIPTION

Punchy, warm, and full of character — this short-scale bass delivers tone that plays as smooth as it sounds. The GB-Short Scale blends comfort, color, and versatility with a roasted maple neck, punchy humbucker, and Markbass® preamp that lets you dial in everything from smooth funk to gritty rock.

Roasted Maple Neck for Smooth Play
Premium roasted maple neck and fretboard provide durability and a fast, effortless feel.

Lightweight Poplar Body
Keeps the bass comfortable for long sessions without sacrificing tone or resonance.

CortR Powersound Humbucker Pickup
