Cort built the GB64-JJ-NAT as part of its GB Series, positioning it as a J-Bass-style electric bass with active electronics layered over a traditionally styled platform. The model sat in the GB line as a spec-enhanced iteration, introducing active circuitry while preserving the classic visual character associated with the series.
The body was constructed from swamp ash, mated to a bolt-on roasted Canadian hard maple neck with a matching roasted maple fretboard at a 9.45" (240mm) radius. Roasting treatment — carried over from Cort's B4/B5 ASRM models — was cited for improved stability and a more vintage character in both appearance and tone. The bass runs 20 frets over a 34" (864mm) scale and is strung with D'Addario YB-XL165 strings from the factory. Hardware is finished in chrome throughout, with open-gear tuners and a vintage-style bridge. The Voiced Tone VTB-ST pickups feed an active/passive circuit controlled by one volume, one blend, and a two-band EQ; a push-pull pot on the circuit allows the player to switch between active and passive operation.
Owners sourcing replacement parts — bridge saddles, tuner buttons, nut blanks or pickup covers — should verify exact dimensions against the physical instrument before ordering, and consult a qualified guitar technician or luthier for setup, shielding or electronics work.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
From the people who own them
Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.
Owner photos
Put yours on the record.
The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.
What do you know about this one?
Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
