Annoying Twit Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Gretsch basses have been discussed (and bought) quite a bit on the forum lately. Here's one with a 99p start and reasonable postage. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gretsh-Electromatic-Jet-Bass-/331182797480?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item4d1c0872a8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] 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.

Cat Burrito Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanAxe Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 (edited) 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.

the hand of john curley Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 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..
