FS/FT: Gretsch G6119BO Broadkaster Short Scale Hollowbody - Made in Japan £1250 Isle of Wight

[4Everdelayed]

Hello. Up for sale is my very recently acquired (and very pretty) 2010 Gretsch G6119BO Broadkaster Bass.

I bought this on a bit of whim as I’ve always loved the looks but just can’t seem to gel with the sound and feel. I was originally on the look out for a jazz bass when I picked this up. Although short scale, it doesn’t actually feel like that when playing. More medium/long scale because of the size of the body. My Musicmaster bass feels diddy in comparison. It also takes long scale strings because of the extra distance behind the bridge. There’s also more clarity on the low E than other short scales I’ve owned.
 

It’s in excellent condition showing only the lightest signs of use. A little bit of corrosion on the pickups which would come off with a polish but otherwise looks barely used since new. (Edit: Pickups are now polished and looking like new).

 

Comes with case and all the paperwork. The case is missing one latch but it doesn’t affect anything and  still holds the guitar nice and snug. Also currently strung up with a new set of flats.

 

I would be interested in trades for the following…

 

Fender AVRI or Road Worn Jazz/Precision (Not Sunburst).

 

Gibson Non Reverse Thunderbird (recent reissue).

 

Fender Japan Junior Jazz.

 

Rickenbacker 4003(s)

 

Other options also considered. 

 

The bass is located on the Isle of Wight but I can easily meet for collection in Southampton or Portsmouth. Shipping is possible if you are happy to arrange a courier.
 

Thanks for looking!

 

Dan
