General
The Gretsch G5442BDC is a Transparent Red short-scale bass for advanced bass players. The bass guitar is part of the popular hollow-body line of the Electromatic series and distinguishes itself by its gorgeous classic design and sound, Transparent Red lacquer finish and relatively short 30-inch scale length. This latter characteristic makes it ideal for bass players with small hands, young musicians or anyone else who enjoys the comfort of a compact bass guitar.
The Filter'Tron pickups of the G5442BDC
Unamplified, this semi-acoustic bass produces a sound that is similar to that of a regular acoustic bass guitar. Two Black Top Filter'Tron pickups give the Gretsch G5442-BDC an electric edge, however, providing it with a high output, a full sound, sparkling trebles and a unique timbre, without deviating too far from the traditional rounded, clear Gretsch sound.
Other distinctive features
The G5442 BDC features a double cutaway that enables you to use the full length of its neck without any effort, and its glossy body is equipped with chrome hardware, a stylish tailpiece and elegant bindings. The bass guitar features a maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard, fitted with distinctive mother-of-pearl hump block position markers, and an Adjusto-Matic bridge allows for flawless intonation.
Tips or comments about this product- Please note: if you need to replace the strings of this bass guitar, medium-scale strings are recommended.

Wrote the following about Gretsch G5442BDC Electromatic Hollowbody Short Scale Bass Red
Als een echte Gretsch moet ie tijdens optredens en repetities vaak/vaker nog wat worden na gestemd (OK, ik heb er ook wat zwaardere snaren op staan en de topkam daarvoor ietsje uit laten vijlen) Het is écht wel een blijvertje maar ik neem 'm niet zo vaak meer van huis mee.
