jsixties Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) I really love this bass, arguably the best piece in my collection, but I don't have the chance to use it with my band and this beauty deserves to be played. It has been ultra well cared and used only in a couple of recordings in the past. Made in 2011. Weight is only 7.3lbs. Set-up with a very low and comfortable action. Complete with the OHSC, Certificate, all the documents and keys. Comes with a brand new D'addario Black Nylon strings set and a DR Sunbeam roundwound one. This Gretsch is a work of art, Japanese craftmaship at its best. The construction, hardware and electronics are top-notch. It has a great array of rich, warm and punchy tones and the feel is superb. [size=4]You know how it looks, this is the most beautiful bass ever done imho:[/size] [url="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/javierete/media/Gretsch%20White%20Falcon%20Bass/white1_zps26012a79.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/javierete/media/Gretsch%20White%20Falcon%20Bass/white2_zpsccfa90a1.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/javierete/media/Gretsch%20White%20Falcon%20Bass/white3_zps48709291.jpg.html"][/url] Even it appears as available pre-order in a couple of UK stores, AFAIK it's discontinued since the end of 2012: [url="http://www.soundsliveshop.com/p/Gretsch_G6136LSB_White_Falcon_Bass_Guitar/GRET-241-1412-805"]http://www.soundsliv...ET-241-1412-805[/url] [size=4][url="http://www.pmtonline.co.uk/gretsch-g6136lsb-white-falcon-bass-tv-jones-thunder-tron-pickups-double-cutaway.html"]http://www.pmtonline...le-cutaway.html[/url][/size] [b]It's an as new bass of [/b][b]£3091 so for a straight sale it's yours for[/b][b] £2490[/b][b] shipped insured to any EU country.[/b] [b]You are saving a lot for this really valuable instrument.[/b] [color=#5A5A5A][size=4][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=4][b]Please any proposal though PM.

[/quote] No problem mate. It's the classic Gretsch back pad, adds nothing to the projection, tone or sound of the instrument but protects the body from belt buckle scratches and in certain models as the Country Gentleman guitar was made to cover the hole made for installing the electronics. No hole in this model by the way, you can easily snapp of the pad in seconds if you don't like how it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yes, all the top of the line of the actual Gretsch catalogue is Made In Japan since Fender FMIC took control over the brand years ago. As a long time Gretsch fan and user I can assure you that the specs and overall quality are better than ever these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsixties Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 A lot of interest but this beauty is still here available for sale or trade. Don't miss this one, these incredible basses are really hard to find in Europe, moreover in this condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
