Cort GB Short Scale Bass

Cort GB Short Scale Bass

The Cort GB Short Scale delivers punch, warmth, and character in a compact, highly approachable design. Built for players who value comfort without compromising tone, this bass features a smooth roasted maple neck, a punchy humbucker, and a powerful Markbass® preamp that lets you shape everything from rounded, soulful funk to growling rock grit.

As a short-scale instrument, the GB Short Scale offers several natural advantages: the reduced 30" scale length creates a looser string tension for a softer, more forgiving feel, making fast lines, bends, and extended sessions far easier on the hands. The shorter distance between frets also improves playability for beginners, younger players, or anyone who wants a more ergonomic experience. And tonally, short-scale basses bring a distinctive warmth and fullness, with a focused low end and a smooth, vintage-like response that sits beautifully in any mix.

Compact, comfortable, and sonically versatile — the Cort GB Short Scale proves that great tone doesn’t need extra length.
