Gretsch G6175 Single Cutaway, Limited run Acoustic Electric Bass. Acoustic Bass with Piezo under-saddle pickup and onboard electronics. Nice quality and that unique Gretsch vibe! These early Japanese crafted models are becoming very hard to find, quite rare and are a huge value!

This bass plays perfectly and has just had a complete set up to my liking, which means the brand-new strings are quite low, but they can easily be raised if you prefer. The battery is good, and the electronics work really well.
Condition: In very good condition, with surface scratches hardly visible. Case in good shape with a worn area along the top edge (see photos).
This bass has been played lightly & carefully and has spent most of its time in the case. Minor oxidation on gold tuners. Neck is smooth, straight & feels good… Case is clean & in great shape with all 6 latches working. Newly setup by a Luthier, neck adjusted, fretboard cleaned & dressed, new 9-volt battery installed along with a new set of D'Addario phosphor bronze acoustic bass strings. Body is light with unique arm cut that makes this bass very comfortable to play.
Plugged in – this bass sounds “huge” for an acoustic electric bass – very impressive – and of course – that Great Gretsch Sound!!! Bass comes with case, polishing cloth, an extra set of Fender 45 strings, etc. A very hard to find bass especially in this condition.
