FS: GRETSCH JET BARITONE (VI)

[CDT]

I'm flipping this since I have too many basses and shortscale 6'rs are not my thing. The high 'e' string broke during shipping (no damage to the bass at all, it's still mint).

I'll include a new set of strings still in the package, these:

Just saw this thread referenced in the other six string bass thread.

I'd love to give this a try once I sell my Teisco 6 string bass. It's on ebay now with a Sunday expiration time.

If I get enough for it, and this one is still available by then, I'm definitely interested.

hey no problem, just let me know. if no one has offered by then then you're first. thanks.

Does it include a hardcase?

Any photos? The photos in the referenced thread appear to be dead.

Looks like I'm out. I didn't get nearly as much as I was hoping for from the Teisco. In fact it didn't sell at all, so I'm likely going to relist.

Might still be interested if it happens to sell next time.
