stingrayfan Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Scott Morriss from indie band, The Bluetones uses one I think. They're flipping expensive by the looks of things. Can't post it, but there's a photo here: [url="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/136/319009652_ab170a19ca.jpg?v=0"]http://farm1.static.flickr.com/136/3190096...70a19ca.jpg?v=0[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 They are beautiful basses but very expensive. I've always wanted one of the bright orange semi-acoustic basses but they're about £1400. I think they're still Fender owned but did hear something about the original family business buying it back at one point. Perhaps someone who actually knows something will be able to elaborate for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skankdelvar Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 (edited) AFAIK, the Gretsch family own the name / brand and have licensed Fender to oversee production and distribution. And the basses seem a [i]little [/i]expensive at around one and a half sheets, but in line with items like the 6120. Maybe they'll do an Electromatic version...

thebeat Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 The one in the classifieds used to be mine, Vern, the bloke selling it, is a good guy and easy to do business with. Great bass with much versatility and extremely high build quality. Only reason i sold mines was i couldn't get on with it playing fingerstyle.
