Superb Short-Scale Thump

This bass plays and sounds amazing. Long-time professional player… The one and only thing I'd like to see changed is the neck dive. I had a new strap button placed on the neck instead of the body. Works wonders!!! Very minimal neck dive. Thanks to great SW staff and sales team for all their help and assistance. I would highly recommend this bass for anyone in any genre.… read more Great open, woody tones!!

I’ve always liked the sound of a semi-hollow body on a bass and have had a lot of respect for the Grrtsch name. I finally after 6 years of wanting one of these ordered it. Fit, finish, and performance are all top-notch. I highly recommend Sweetwater for your equipment… read more needs if you are in the market for quality equipment at an affordable price!

I ordered this Gretsch bass from Sweetwater a while back and I love it. I have never ordered any guitar sight un seen, but now I'm glad I did. It surpassed all my expectations. I have been playing bass for about forty years and have always wanted a hollow body bass. The tone is magnificent and is suited for most types of music. Everyone that sees it says how beautiful it is. I love… read more to just open the case and look at it. Another reason I wrote this review was to say how great Sweetwater is to deal with. I have ordered from other online retailers before, but Sweetwater blew them all away. Next time I order musical equipment, it will definitely be from Sweetwater.
