the hand of john curley Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Evening! Sooo....after much thought (and general indecisiveness on my part) I've decided to part ways with my Gretsch baritone. It's fantastic but I just don't use it. It's immaculate! I'm the second owner and I bought it from a 72 year old Jazz guy!!! He'd had the bigsby trem taken off and a fixed bridge fitted as per the photos. As he said at the time, "what the bloody hell would you want a tremolo arm On a bass for?!" - to be said in thick brummy accent !!!!! He was from deepest darkest birmingham! It's in black sparkle and really is as new, I've listed below the stuff from the Gretsch site Body Body Shape: Jet™ Body Back: Laminated Hardwood Body Finish: Gloss Urethane Body Depth: 1.625" (41.3 mm) Body Width Lower Bout: 13.25" (336 mm) Neck Number of Frets: 22 Position Inlays: Dot Fretboard: Rosewood Neck Material: Maple Nut Width: 1.6875" (42.8 mm) Scale Length: 29.75" (756 mm) Electronics Pickup Configuration: HH Bridge Pickup: Gretsch® Mini Humbucking Neck Pickup: Gretsch® Mini Humbucking Pickup Switching: 3-Position Toggle: Position 1. Bridge Pickup, Position 2. Bridge and Neck Pickups, Position 3. Neck Pickup Controls: Master Volume, Master Tone Hardware Hardware Finish: Chrome-Plated Tuning Machines: Vintage-Style Photos will follow as soon as I get back to my laptop! It's on flea bay for a BIN of £175. Happy to let it go to a BC'er for £150 ex delivery. I'm near Leicester if anyone wanted to pick it up rather than post.
