An Amazing Long-scale Hollowbody Bass!
A vintage-style bass with killer modern perks. Gretsch's G5440LS long-scale hollowbody electric bass guitar is your go-to bass when you're after that timeless semi-acoustic bass sound. It all starts with a gorgeous 5-ply maple body (that, incidentally, handles humidity like a champ) and a 34" maple neck, which provide you with rich acoustic overtones and all the thump and punch you could ask for. But it gets even better. Gretsch outfitted their G5440LS long-scale hollowbody electric bass with a pair of open-sounding and deeply resonant Black Top Filter'Tron bass pickups, so you'll never be in need of bottom end. Whether you play rockabilly or rock, country or punk, you simply won't find another hollowbody bass quite like the Gretsch G5440LS long-scale hollowbody electric bass.
