With premium tonewoods, rock-solid hardware, and two Voiced Tone J-style single-coil pickups with active electronics, the GB-Fusion 5 combines tonal versatility with eminent playability. Experience the warmth and depth of this evolution of the J-style bass, ideal for any genre or playing style.
Ever since the 1950s, alder has been a top tonewood choice for bass manufacturers. The GB-Fusion 5 features a solid alder body for the iconic J-style low-end warmth and punchy midrange growl. The spalted maple veneer on top delivers an eye-catching visual impact on stage and in your home.
Developed by Cort engineers drawing on decades of coil-winding experience, the Voiced Tone TB-ST pickups in the GB-Fusion 5 deliver the big, robust sound of vintage pickups with modern transparency, detail and articulation. Combined with the GB-Fusion 5’s active electronics, you’ll hear every nuance of your creative expression.
The GB-Fusion 5 boasts a visually stunning hand selected birds-eye maple fretboard that delivers powerful midrange and high-end clarity. At the upper registers, you’ll find that the Ergonomic Neck Joint gives you unparalleled access to the highest frets, increasing playing comfort while reducing tendon stress and awkward wrist and finger positions.
