Cort GB Modern 4, Open Pore Charcoal Grey

The GB Modern bass embodies a perfect fusion of timeless design and contemporary elements. Crafted with a keen eye for J-Bass aficionados, this instrument introduces an unexpectedly lightweight construction to elevate comfort, enhance playability, and diminish fatigue. It boasts premium visual and technical enhancements, including a roasted maple neck and fretboard, Hipshot® Ultralite Tuners, and Babicz® FCH4 Bridge that contribute to its reduced weight. The remarkable tone amalgamation of Nordstrand® Big Single Pickup Set and MarkBass® MB Instrument Pre preamp system completes its sonic prowess.

Innovative Lightweight Body

The instrument’s weight often influences the playing experience, with bass guitars particularly susceptible to causing fatigue due to their larger size. While many manufacturers resort to extensive body wood carving to reduce weight, the GB Modern employs a clever design strategy that preserves its lightness without compromising structural integrity. The combination of a maple body core and lightweight paulownia wings, topped with exquisite poplar burl on the surface and white ash on the rear, results in a tonally and visually exceptional instrument.

Nordstrand® Big Single Pickup Set

MarkBass® MB Instrument Pre Preamp

Drawing from their expertise in amplifier design, MarkBass® has channeled their knowledge into crafting the compact MB INSTRUMENT PRE preamp. Meticulously tailored frequencies ensure exceptional sound reproduction, while the tone control circuits not only enhance these frequencies, but also yield a unique and sonically rich response during boost/cut actions.
