Cort GB Modern 4, Open Pore Charcoal Grey

Full Description

Lightweight body for enhanced comfort

The Cort GB Modern 4 is designed with a lightweight body that ensures a comfortable playing experience, even during extended performances. Instead of compromising on tone by hollowing out the body, Cort has carefully balanced the weight using a maple center block paired with lightweight paulownia wings. This innovative design provides a bass that is not only easy to handle but also maintains rich, resonant tones. The stunning poplar burl top and white ash back complete the look, making this bass both visually and sonically impressive.

Nordstrand Big Single pickups for powerful tone

At the heart of the Cort GB Modern 4’s remarkable sound are the Nordstrand Big Single pickups. These pickups are known for their robust, punchy tone, offering a clear and dynamic sound that cuts through any mix. Designed with a large magnet load, the Big Single pickups capture the full character of each note, providing a blend of warmth and clarity that suits any style. From jazz to rock, funk, and beyond, these pickups deliver a distinctive, expressive sound that defines your performance.

MarkBass MB Instrument Pre for tonal versatility

The Cort GB Modern 4 is equipped with the MarkBass MB Instrument Pre, a compact and highly efficient preamp that offers exceptional tonal control. With a three-band EQ, this preamp allows you to shape your sound to suit any musical setting, offering everything from deep, warm bass tones to crisp, cutting highs. It also features a passive tone control and a push-pull active/passive switch, giving you even greater flexibility. The preamp’s design ensures a clean, focused bass sound, preserving the clarity and detail of your playing even at high volumes.

Premium hardware for reliable performance

Every detail of the Cort GB Modern 4 is designed for performance and reliability. It features Hipshot Ultralite tuners, which provide smooth, accurate tuning while reducing headstock weight, further enhancing comfort. The Babicz FCH4 bridge offers exceptional tuning stability and precise intonation, ensuring your bass stays perfectly in tune. Paired with a roasted maple neck and fingerboard for enhanced stability and a sleek playing feel, this bass is built to deliver a consistent, professional performance every time you pick it up.
