NBD: PRS Grainger 5

[MultiScaleMale]

Incredible B string.

Wow!

Rail humbuckers... me likey

 

[MultiScaleMale]

I was completely blown away when I played it. The B string is completely integrated into the instrument. With the push / pull on the volume knobs, you can set an active sound with EQ and then switch in an instant to passive neck which is in the P ballpark. Then switch to just the bridge and it's in the J ballpark when you play towards the neck. Play towards the bridge and it gets nasal for rapid note solos or whatever you want. Then right back to your active sound. Love it.

what company are the rails? I kind of want to set one in on my schecter. Just have to find a good brand.

 

[MultiScaleMale]

They're PRS pickups. Another company may build them, not sure, but they're exclusive to PRS.

 

[JPkstms]

hmmmm. else where I suppose i'll find something. Nice 5 string though love the color

 

[MultiScaleMale]

I think Joe Barden makes some rail pickups.

Congrats on a great bass, I agree the B string on this model is incredible as is the pre amp.

Beautiful man! What is the nut width and spacing at the bridge?

Beautiful man! What is the nut width and spacing at the bridge?

According to the PRS website, nut width is a hair less than 1.75" and the bridge string spacing is 0.71".

 

[MultiScaleMale]

Beautiful man! What is the nut width and spacing at the bridge?

18mm at the bridge, 1.71875 at the nut. Well, I'm sure it's not exactly that after sanding, so call it 1.72.

Now that is one drop dead gorgeous bass I can't stop staring at that top congrats.

Serious bass envy!

Ok, I am officially in love with that bass and I want one....

I was perusing the web site and I noticed a photo of the neck heel....I don't see any neck bolts and it doesn't look like a set-in neck....how is the neck attached?

Welcome to the club, this one of the best fives I have played. Very playable

That finish is incredible! Please post a youtube review or some sound samples, most reviews do not do this bass justice.
