Frequently Asked Questions
It's a different beast – the solid body gives it more focused low-mids, lacking the airy resonance of a hollowbody, but retaining that Gretsch character.
Laurel is a decent choice, but it’s softer than rosewood or ebony, so diligent care and occasional oiling will help prevent excessive wear.
The NPS strings are serviceable but fairly basic; upgrading to a set you prefer will really unlock the bass's potential, and standard sizes are readily available.
