Production PRS Grainger Basses announced (as in non-Private Stock)
 

The 4-string without a "10" top is going to street for about $2600. The "10" takes it to $3k. I didn't ask about the 5 or what the Artist package upgrade costs.

US made ? Where can I buy one ?

Thanks

Well, finally, a PRS bass that is priced reasonably and actually seems to be made for bassists:p

Those look VERY nice, and again, the price seems very reasonable. Nice look, nice specs.

I was hoping PRS would make another effort at producing a bass. Many weren't overly impressed with the prior efforts.

PRS has guitars down to a near perfect science. If they put that level of effort into bass development, I'm sure we would be happy campers. If they haven't already done so, they need to include a few bassists that understand our needs, as part of the development process.

Bass42's avatar says what I'm feelin'! :(

Really? I owned one of the 3 pickup models back in the day and that thing freakin' killed!

This current model looks nice!

yes, US made. i've seen them get made at the PRS Factory and have played one. very nice player. smoooooth! dunno where to buy, try direct from them.

+1

I own one now and I think it's awesome.

I'm glad to see some are enjoying them.

In case you were wondering where PRS basses started.

PRS # 11 from 1977-78:



Perfect condition so "as new". Paul hand made it for me in his tiny shop at 33 West Street in Annapolis. Plays like a notorious dream - sounds warm woody and well - indescribable.

Even with the release of the Graingers, interesting how everything old is suddenly new again, with this fretless version of #11 in his coveted "Private Stock" collection. Only differences lie in the headstock and the electronics. Thirty five years later and the basic design features remain the same and flawless.

I got to see Gary Grainger's personal bass up close and personal when he did a clinic at Belmont last year. If these are close they should kill!

It's a great looking bass.

Very nice story for a beautiful bass! What a fantastic thing to own. Carry on enjoying it and treasuring it, my friend! :)

I'll be tempted once they do a one passive pickup bass. :)
