The hardware is sturdy and it held its tuning well through a good thrashing. The bass is active, and the tonal variations you can achieve outperform its budget. The body and headstock shape are fairly uncommon, but you can imagine the bass appealing to both traditional players and the metal and rock fraternity. One minor gripe is the slightly incongruous white strip on the side of the fretboard: keeping the entire neck natural would have maintained the illusion of expense better. The bolt-on neck is inlaid with pearl-effect fret markers that complement the overall look well. The natural wood finish gives the bass the look and feel of a much more expensive instrument. Out of the box, the open bore natural finish looks very classy, with the body shape working really well with the lines of the swamp ash.
Even so, the GB74 is something of a revelation. But can they cut it?Ĭort is arguably the industry leader for producing great guitars at a great cost.
#CORT BASS NECK SERIES#
The GB series comes in towards the intro level, with the GB74 four-string and GB75 five-string being the models we've got here. The manufacturer boasts a staggering amount of bass options, from a very basic introlevel guitar to custom shop models.
This puts Cort in a unique situation where they can, in theory, use their size to create high-quality, low-cost basses. The South Korean giant not only produces its own instruments, but also manufactures for a huge number of other brands.
