Critic Reviews

"A well-chosen feature set that really elevates it above similarly-priced short-scales”: Cort GB-Short Scale Bass review | Guitar World

guitarworld.com

Cort's GB-Short Scale Bass is a standout for those seeking an affordable yet polished short-scale instrument. With a sleek design and unexpected features, such as a MarkBass preamp and a roasted maple neck, this bass offers impressive versatility and value. A broad tonal range is a definite highlight, thanks to the onboard preamp allowing for various sound adjustments. However, players should be mindful of potential neck dive and limited finish options which might not suit all tastes. Overall, it's a solid choice for those looking to experiment beyond the typical short-scale boundaries.
