According to my digital calipers the satin finished Canadian hard maple neck is 1.475' (37.47 mm) wide at the nut, widening noticeably to 2.187' (55.57 mm) at the 12th fret.

It features a contoured neck / body joint, which improves upper-fret access over most traditional four-bolt neck designs.

The neck is a bolt-on, and is held in place with four bolts.

Further highlighting the wood grain appeal of the bass is the clear pickguard, which allows more of the grain to be visible while still protecting the wood itself.

The balance is generally good too, and there's no 'neck dive' issues when you strap it on. The offset waist further improves comfort, especially when you're playing while sitting down.

The front and rear of the body have contours for your tummy and right forearm, which help to make this a very comfortable bass to play.

Both finishes are transparent enough to let the grain of the wood show through quite clearly. It is finished in gloss polyurethane and comes in two colors - Aqua Blue and Amber, which is the color I was sent for review.

The GB74JJ has a three-piece swamp ash body.The Cort GB74JJ us a four-string bass with many familiar features, such as Cort's take on the classic double-cutaway, offset waist body shape, and the expected 34' scale length bolt-on neck.

Cort goes active and doubles-down on all that Jazz
