So why does it feel different? Why the subtle variation in sound? Well, it sure isnвЂ™t the block inlay. The anchored Adjusto-Matic bridge is identical.

Here, the G5260T truly excels, with the Bigsby-licensed B50 vibrato on hand to provide a little wobble to those oh-so-dreamy chords. Clean, dry tones reveal a baseline piano-esque bass tone, ideal for sitting under the hurdy-gurdy clang of a modern beat combo, but dial in some spring reverb, some tremolo and slapback delay and youвЂ™re back in the orbit of 50s rock вЂ™nвЂ™ roll tones. There are two mini-humbuckers, G-Arrow master volume and tone controls, and a three-way pickup selector. The musical possibilities soon stretch out in front of you.ДЄs Gretsch guitars go, the electronics are simple. It has a solid mahogany body, a big olвЂ™ slab with a similarly-scaled maple neck with a four-bolt heel, and once you catch your breath after hearing the low sixth-string - here tuned to A - rumble for the first time, youвЂ™ll be struck by how much of that Gretsch elastic growl is in its tone. The geometry seems in proportion, familiar, but it sure does feel like a different instrument like a bass YouвЂ™ll find the same experience with the G5260T. Duane Eddy, a man whose tone shouldД«e listed in all good dictionaries under вЂtwangвЂ™, used a Danelectro Longhorn 4623 liberally - most famously on 1959вЂ™s The TwangвЂ™s The Thang - and his signature tone was faithfully transposed to the longer 30-inch scale instrument. This is how baritones were originally intended.

ItвЂ™s a six-string, the geometry seems in proportion, familiar, and that neck profile, a shallow C, is never going to fool you in a blind taste test with a P-Bass, but it sure does feel like a different instrument like a bass. Picking up the G5260T, thatвЂ™s the first thing that hits you.

Hitherto their destructive potential would have been restricted to demarcation disputes with musiciansвЂ™ unions are you a bassist or a guitarist? Well, using this you are kind of both. HARDWARE: Bigsby-licensed B50 Vibrato, anchored Adjusto-Matic bridge, chromeДЇINISH: Black, Airline Silver
