Cort GB-SHORTSCALE-FDP GB Series Short Scale 4 String Bass, Fandango Purple

Punchy, warm, and full of character — this short-scale bass delivers tone that plays as smooth as it sounds. The GB-Short Scale blends comfort, color, and versatility with a roasted maple neck, punchy humbucker, and Markbass® preamp that lets you dial in everything from smooth funk to gritty rock.

A Fun, Expressive Bass to Expand Your Collection
With its bold colors, compact feel, and versatile tone, this short-scale bass adds something fresh and exciting to any player’s lineup.

Shorter Scale, Bigger Sound
A 30″ scale length delivers a punchy, warm tone while reducing finger stretch, improving comfort, and providing lower string tension for an easier reach—ideal for smaller hands or players seeking a smoother playing experience.

Vintage Shape, Modern Flair
A classic offset body, eye-catching finishes, and vintage-style hardware make this bass look as good as it plays.
