Gretsch Electromatic G5440LSB (long scale bass)
Really don't want to have to sell this but as it's last in its possibly first out as a new ongoing project means I'm after something else.
Cheapest price new I can see online is £980 from PMT and they don't have it in stock. Otherwise the average is £1100 and those prices are without a case. This one has a Gator GL case which cost over £100. Bass is mint condition with no issues.
Some blurb about the bass :
The G5440LS Electromatic Hollow Body Long-Scale Bass is armed with two powerful new “Black Top” Filter’Tron™ humbucking bass pickups that endow it with an electrifying deep-end voice and identity.
Single-cutaway hollow and bound body features sound-post bracing and elegant bound f holes. Other features include a maple neck, bound rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and hump-block pearloid inlays, three-position pickup switch, classic “G” arrow control knobs, rosewood-based four-saddle Adjusto-Matic™ bridge and “G”-cutout tailpiece.

Is any part of the bridge pinned to the soundboard?
I could possibly be into a MusicMan Stingray or Sterling as well. I like them too
Interested in G&L, Musicman and Fender guitars too.maybe higher end Pacifica and Revstar models. Ovation Electro acoustics also (Custom Legend/Elite etc) cash either way depending on what is offered
