CORT GB55 Bass Guitar... a pretty nice find!

I bought this 2003 CORT GB55 5-String bass guitar on the used marketplace recently and I think it was a really good find! Active electronics, Jazz & Musicman style pickups, string thru body bridge, 19mm string spacing and more. The colour has a real vintage feel and I am looking forward to playing it with my band and on some recording to see how it sounds. I might be interested in making a new pickguard and replacing the tuners in the near future... maybe the pickups, as well. Enjoy the video!

I love that bass!!!!!!

[@grantkoeller8911]

Cort Korea basses are super high quality. Both Cort and Samick make so many other guitar brands in their state of the art factories!!!,

Really nice looking bass. Lovely orangey - yellowy colour, and the transparent nature of the finish just suits that bass. Some Cort instruments are absolutely great, and under-rated IMHO. I'm not really a 5 string player - but I keep an Ibanez SR505 to one side, for an occasional "noodle". Your new Cort would be brilliant for that sort of occasional use. Happy new bass day :)

Had the same bass. A relative begged me to use it to learn on then pawned it and I never saw him or my bass again.

Hope he didn't live near me? LOL

if that was my bass, I would put stickers all over it and make it a punk bass, I would leave the pickups alone, and I would change the nut to a bone nut. really ,that bass is perfect the way it is.

I know, right? They are pretty nice but I don't see many of them.

That string tree is very necessary.

I have a prs se custom 24 and I want to know how to get to the volume and push pull tone pot to get some spray lubricant into the pots, do you have a video on how to do that? and what's the best sort of spray lube is best to use?

[@ManotickGuitarTech]

There should be a cover on the back of the guitar for access to the pots; use an electrical contact cleaner.
