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 TB-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.

Why is this b-stock?

It could be for one of several reasons.

B-Stock items have minor cosmetic blemishes that were discovered during the set-up and inspection process. These are strictly cosmetic and do not affect the playability of the instrument. Many times, the blemish is so small you will have a hard time finding it w/ the naked eye. 

In other cases, the b-stock status comes from the model being discontinued, and it is in brand-new condition.

B-Stock items carry a Full Mechanical Warranty, but since they are being sold as a B-Stock, they do not carry a cosmetic warranty. Only instruments w/ minor cosmetic blemishes and/or discontinued are B-Stock.

We will not sell instruments w/ greater issues.

We offer these out of an ever-changing open inventory of b-stock pieces at our distributor's. They don't provide specifics of the issue that caused the b-stock classification.
