One of the nice things about Gretsch basses is the fact that they are hollow-body instruments. It gives them an advantage in that they can be amped for a more modern sound, or used with microphones for a more traditional, older sound. Not only that, but the Gretsch electronics means this bass is highly configurable with many different amplification options to achieve an exciting variety of tones.

The G6073 features a laminated maple body and two-piece neck, rosewood fretboard, overlaid black headstock, and thumbnail inlays. For sound quality you can count on dual Thunder 'Tron pickups, three-way selector switch, individual and master volume controls, and a 3-position tone control. From a cosmetic standpoint you will love the simulated F-holes, the Gretsch G-cutout tailpiece, and the burgundy-red finish. This is truly a gorgeous bass guitar well worth the hefty price tag.

Finally, America's love affair with Gretsch guitars is more than just the styling an construction; it's also about playability. And according to some, the G6073 as all the playability of a vintage Gretsch electric archtop. The action is gentle and responsive, the jumbo frets leave plenty of room to move, and its hollow body construction means the G6073 is still light enough to be played for hours at a time. If you like Gretch guitars you're probably going to love this bass.
