Gretsch Jet Bass

[Annoying Twit]

Gretsch basses have been discussed (and bought) quite a bit on the forum lately. Here's one with a 99p start and reasonable postage.

Looks as if the seller doesn't send the item if it doesn't get to a price they're happy with. But, when they do send the item, things seem to work out OK.

That feedback is very sneaky though, 100% in the last 12 months but a fair few red ones for so few transactions. I suspect he won't be happy unless this gets to a decent amount.

That is indeed one of the early models, with 'Electromatic' across the top of the headstock, and 'Gretsch' on the truss cover. Later/current models have 'Gretsch' across the top, and 'ELECTROMATIC' running down the centre of the headstock. I seem to recall early Electromatic hollow-bodies were made by Peerless, but I don't know if that was also true of the basses.

I bought the gretsch baritone on here the other day.....it's brilliant. I wasn't sure what to except but it plays like a dream, sounds great and well balanced weight.....this is basically the regular bass version...hope someone gets a good deal on this..
