Cort Retro 304 Short Scale 4-String Electric Bass Guitar ( Seafoam Green )

The Retro 304 delivers the warm low-end, defined attack, and easy playability that made a short scale bass a must-have addition to any collection. Alder, Maple, and purpose-voiced passive pickup work together to produce a vintage tone character that holds up in any playing situation. This is a serious instrument built for players who know exactly what they want from 30 inches.

A shorter scale changes how a bass feels under your hands-strings give more, notes come easier, and the fatigue that creeps in on a long session simply doesn’t.

Some basses give you more controls than you need. The Retro 304 keeps it simple: one volume, one tone, and your full attention on playing rather than managing a signal chain.

The VTB-TB pickup is voiced specifically for the warm low-end and defined attack that vintage-styled basses are know for-not a generic passive sound, but a deliberate tone character that suits the instrument and rewards the player who chose it for exactly that reason.

Alder brings warmth and resonance to the body while the hard maple neck adds brightness and definition – two materials that have complemented each other in classic bass builds for decades.

The comfort, feel, and tone character of a short-scale bass open up playing possibilities that a long-scale simply can’t replicate. The Retro 304 brings all of that with construction and tone quality that make it a permanent addition, not a novelty.

Smooth and warm underhand, with a traditional feel that suits the vintage character of this bass.

Full range of expressive playing with frets that stays smooth and resist wear over time.

Easy to adjust and reliable to hold, with an open design that fits the retro look of the instrument.

Vintage-styled hardware that anchors tone and sustain while keeping the aesthetic consistent throughout.
