FS: Gretsch Broadkaster Bass

PRICE DROP to $1,275.00 shipped!

2005 MIJ Gretsch Broadkaster (Model G6119B) bass in Walnut Stain. Very nice looking and playing bass. I'm selling to fund another purchase, so no trades. This is a short-scale (30.3") bass, although it does not look like it because of the size of the body. Brand new RoadRunner case, never taken out of my home.

Bass is in Very Good condition. There is a small ding (about 1/16") on the top where your right arm would sit. It does not go through the paint. You can see it in the last pic. For reference, that's my little finger/fingernail beside the ding.
$1,275.00 shipped to CONUS. Postal Money Order or certified U.S. Bank check only. I do not use ebay, so I don't have Paypal. If you do some research, you'll see that this is a very good price for one of these. Also, I do not have a scale. It's heavier than you'd expect for a hollow-body. My guess is around 9 lbs. Any questions, let me know. Thanks!

Sorry - I guess I'm pretty stupid sometimes.

I was reading left to right instead of right to left...

Thanks for helping me out with this newfangled technology!

Free Bump for a awesome Tber!!

....who also happens to own my old Jazz bass....

Thanks Roger. Probably the first time I've heard a 2011 Am. Std. Jazz referred to as an "old" bass!

I'm actually enjoying the heck out of it!

Thanks! That's a nice looking 'Ray in your avatar, too. Is that a Classic? I used to have a Classic in Mint Green, but mine was w/rosewood.

Wow, someone has one of these listed locally for $2K Canadian! This is a steal in comparison...

Jeff K · #13 08-05-2011, 09:26 PM

Thanks onosson. Yeah, I'm a bit puzzled. These are great basses, and this really is a good price for one of these; so I thought there would be more interest. I've had some trade interest, but I'm bass-heavy so I need to sell. It's a tough economy right now though...

"C'mon, Lucy! You know you want this bass! It's beautiful. It sounds great, and it's calling your name!"

I sent you a PM.

I'm probably only gonna' keep this for sale here for about another week. If nobody wants her by then, I'll just keep it. I think I have it priced very fairly, so I'd rather keep it than "give it away". Good chance to get a fairly hard to find (on the used market) bass at a good price.

timber22 · #19 08-13-2011, 10:06 AM

I would love to have this bass, but I've really been trying to cut back, not build up, my gear. Bump for someone else to buy this Gretsch so I don't have to keep looking at

It keeps giving me GAS.

still tempted
no money though :-(
