Details

Weighs 9.7 lbs. Asking $1,950 or best offer shipped CONUS. PayPal, check or money order is fine. Sorry, no trades at this time.

For sale is a 2014 PRS Gary Grainger 5 string bass in excellent condition. There are some faint scratches and swirling on the back that I was unable to photograph. This is the only thing preventing me from labeling it as "mint". Comes with equally nice condition hard shell case, tools, hang tags and paper work.

The color is very unusual and like any PRS guitar, has incredible depth. It has creaming binding around a drop top and the back is black. Maple neck and fretboard and PRS' abalone flying bird inlays.

Description and specs per PRS' website:

The Grainger 5 is the evolution of our Private Stock Gary Grainger Bass line. As the primary designer of our Private Stock basses, Gary (John Scofield, Dennis Chambers, Frank Gambali, etc.) collaborated with many bass artists, including Wyzard (Mother's Finest) and Kevin Walker (Justin Timberlake), to create a Core PRS bass with all the character and quality of Gary's Private Stock models but with a more universal appeal.

I'm sitting here at practice playing my GG5. If you're even remotely considering buying this bass, trust me, do it. The B string is to die for.

It's by no means the most expensive instrument I own, but the sound and feel are beyond reproach. I highly recommend this bass...you won't be sorry!

Thanks for the kind words. Build quality and tone and second to none. It also has the fancy top and paint job PRS is known for. Incredible bass but the neck profile is a little too wide and flat for my liking. It should however make someone very happy.

tone? Modern.......fenderish? never heard one. Salivating over that top

To my ears it is a little of both, leaning towards modern. The pups in passive mode have a Fenderish tone to them. Active has a more modern flavor.

I'm surprised with the lack of good demo videos out there. This is one of the better ones I found:
