Here for sale we have a Gretsch Broadkaster G6119B hollow electric bass in Orange finish. Made in Japan in 2005 this bass features a set-neck construction hollow Laminated Maple body, a Maple neck topped with a 22 Medium Jumbo fret Rosewood fingerboard. The hardware featured on this bass consists of an adjustable Tune-O-Matic style Bridge with a Chrome Gretsch tailpiece, a set of Gotoh sealed tuning machines are also featured. A pair of TV Jones Thunderblade humbuckers are fitted with controls for master volume/tone along with individual volume controls for the bridge and neck pickup.
The Maple neck sits comfortably in the hand, with the Medium ‘C’ profile feeling chunky without being cumbersome, offering a dependable grip whilst also providing a smooth and articulate playing experience. The Rosewood fingerboard feels pleasant under the fingers, whilst the 12” radius and Medium Jumbo frets allow for ease of different techniques such as slap bass or chordal playing. The single cutaway body design allows the player to have unobstructed access to the entire register, whilst the hollow body construction also makes longer durations of playing a comfortable experience.
The hollow construction provides an open airiness to the sound which makes the instrument suitable for a wide range of genres whilst retaining a unique and unmistakable voice. The pair of TV Jones Thunderblade humbuckers delivers a thick and powerful tone, with smooth rounded lows, clear and open mid range and a sweet treble response that captures the attack and aggression of your playing. The pots feel nicely responsive, allowing you to dial in your perfect tone with ease, whilst the simplicity of the controls ensure that you can stay focussed on your playing whilst still offering comprehensive control of your tone.
