Custom Gretsch G5442BDC - Transparent Red

Vintage vibe with a modern sound. Gretsch's G5442BDC short-scale hollowbody electric bass guitar provides you with focused acoustic sound that's got plenty of bottom end. A 5-ply maple body (that, incidentally, handles humidity like a champ) and a 30-1/4" maple neck provide you with all the rich acoustic overtones and focused punch you could ask for. But it gets even better. Gretsch outfitted their G5442BDC short-scale hollowbody electric bass with a pair of open-sounding and deeply resonant Black Top Filter'Tron bass pickups, so you'll never be in need of bottom end either, despite the short scale. Overall, you simply won't find another hollowbody bass quite like the Gretsch G5442BDC short-scale hollowbody electric bass.
