Musicman20 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 (edited) Does anyone have any information on the large bodied hollow bass guitars that are around? Nothing as expensive as that amazing Gretsch for sale in the forum, but similar? This is the 'style' im after, but not as expensive - [url="http://www.gretschguitars.com/gear/index.php?product=G6136LSB&cat1=&cat2=&q=&st=1"]http://www.gretschguitars.com/gear/index.p...amp;q=&st=1[/url] I dont know what the market is like on these. Are they pretty much all under normal scale size? Im really craving that deep thumpy sound these bad boys make, along with the fact they look stunning. Cheers Edit - Just found the Jack Cassady Epiphone..mmmm Edited June 27, 2010 by Musicman20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers[/quote] I got so fed up trying to find a good quality short scale semi bass I decided to make one myself in the end. There are plenty of cheapies on Ebay though if you don't want to pay Gretsch prices, but the Jack Cassady seems to be the nicest longscale out there. Ibanez do a couple, as did Yamaha, Washburn and Aria, mostly along the same lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12stringbassist Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Try an Eastwood Classic 4, if you want something that looks like a GWF bass. Classy. Here's mine (left): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
