BassApprentice Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 (edited) [url="http://www.cortguitars.com/uk/product/series_view.asp?qCate=00003&idx=128"]http://www.cortguita...e=00003&idx=128[/url] Not very clever from the Cort UK website. Showing a glimpse of the new models on the banner then only showing the old models below. Saying that, the new ones look great. EDIT: Cort US site shows them all, very nice. http://www.cortguitars.com/en/product/series_view.asp?qCate=00003&idx=128 Edited May 24, 2017 by BassApprentice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutton Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I have seen a review of the new Corts at the NAAM show. I think it was on YouTube or from the Cort site itself. I have two Corts and they are cracking basses for the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dood Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I *could* tell you that the GB74JJ is a [i]brilliant[/i] bass for the money, but then, you wouldn't wait until my full review coming up of it... I love what they have done over the old GB models. Some nice upgrades there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6feet7 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Having had an A4 and B4 and now have a Jeff Berlin Rithimic V and can say I think that they are superb instruments, I can't wait to see these new ones in the flesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timhiggins Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 My GB74 is a great bass and the lightest bass i've owned so perfect for gigging i will definitely be taking a look at the Jazz version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk_lefty Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Can't see if any are available in lefty... They usually look after us, just can't see which models are available upside down? A GB custom five could be a cost friendly alternative to a sandberg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I don't know about that, but I have a couple of MIK Fender guitars that have "Cortech" written inside them. They are pretty good although the frets (on both) were a bit sharp and needed to be rounded off. Edited May 25, 2017 by darkandrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I had a GB75 for a couple of years. Upgraded to Aguilar pickups which helped alot. But something just didn't take me. Sounded good flat but preamp really shoddy compared to other brands (massive hiss in treble and bottom end too boomy). I tried for so long to love it but eventually never did so sold it. No regrets.

[/quote] That could make the difference. I'd say that if you added a coil tap it's essentially a Lakland 55-02 but half the price. Made in same factory I'd wager.
