Time-Proven Tonewood Combination

Ever since the 1950s, alder has been a top tonewood choice for bass manufacturers. The GB-Fusion 5 features a solid alder body for the iconic J-style low-end warmth and punchy midrange growl. The spalted maple veneer on top delivers an eye-catching visual impact on stage and in your home.

J-Style Single Coil Pickups, Evolved

Developed by Cort engineers drawing on decades of coil-winding experience, the Voiced Tone VTB-ST pickups in the GB-Fusion 5 deliver the big, robust sound of vintage pickups with modern transparency, detail and articulation. Combined with the GB-Fusion 5’s active electronics, you’ll hear every nuance of your creative expression.

Primed for Playability

The GB-Fusion 5 boasts a visually stunning hand selected birds-eye maple fretboard that delivers powerful midrange and high-end clarity. At the upper registers, you’ll find that the Ergonomic Neck Joint gives you unparalleled access to the highest frets, increasing playing comfort while reducing tendon stress and awkward wrist and finger positions.

Advanced Hardware for Rock-Solid Performance

Premium Hipshot® Ultralite tuners and the solid, high-mass MetalCraft M bridge provide the GB-Fusion 5 bass with exceptional tuning stability and sonic impact.

Ideal Tone Transfer & Tension

The solid, high-mass MetalCraft M bridge combines ease of use with improved tone transfer. The dual string loading system allows the strings to be loaded either through the body or from the top to find the optimal string tension, resulting in enhanced sustain, improved playability, and a more focused sound.
