tauzero Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 In the traditional BC way, met up with @clunkie66 at Toddington Services and exchanged money for bass. It's a handsome instrument, Jazz based, with Seymour Duncan pickups - the bridge one is MM rather than Jazz. Active 3-band preamp, with switchable mid. The neck is very nice and well-finished - Colin did have the frets levelled so I can't say how good it was out of the factory. It's 38mm nut and 21mm thick at the 1st fret, which makes it about the same dimensions as my Warwick JD Thumb. I don't generally do significant things with tone controls on active basses - mostly I set them flat. There's a wide range of sounds available, and after some experimenting, I've found a non-flat setting which I like, which is a bit meatier than the basic flat setting. All in all, a great bass which shows what you can get on a budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
songofthewind Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I was gassing bad for that one! I managed to restrain myself, but I wish I had given to the urge. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit of a game doing that but here it is, on the settee at our holiday cottage (see thread in General Discussion about taking a bass on holiday with you).

Mykesbass Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Isn't that a GB74 rather than just 4? Looks very similar to the 75 I had. Great basses, I only sold mine as I wanted a Precision (but did get a cheaper GB54JJ as a back up 😎). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted June 11, 2019 Author Share Posted June 11, 2019 The GB74 has a plain body rather than a cap, a J-type pickguard, and a different preamp. The GB4 is similar to the GB94. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykesbass Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Thanks, hard work keeping up with Cort's model range! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
