Gretsch G5442BDC Electromatic Hollowbody Short Scale Bass Black

General

The Gretsch G5442BDC is an exceptional model from the Electromatic hollow-body series, providing advanced hobbyists with the classic Gretsch looks and the genuine Gretsch sound, with the additional benefit of a short-scale neck. Thanks to its relatively short, 30-inch scale length, the bass guitar is ideal for bass players with small hands, young musicians, or anyone else who appreciates the comfort of a compact instrument. The body of the G5442BDC features a chic black finish, chrome hardware, sleek bindings and a stylish tailpiece. Additionally, the bass is equipped with a maple neck and a rosewood fingerboard with hump block position markers.

The sultry sound of the Gretsch G5442BDC

A semi-acoustic bass guitar provides you with a sultry, open sound, reminiscent of the tone of an acoustic bass, but throws the electric qualities of a set of pickups into the mix. Like the other models of its generation, the Gretsch G5442-BDC is equipped with two special Black Top Filter'Tron pickups, which produce a unique full, sparkling tone that doesn't deviate far from the traditionally round yet clear sound that Gretsch is famous for. This fantastic bass guitar is fitted with a double cutaway, so you can easily reach the highest frets on its short-scale neck.
