PRS Gary Grainger 5-String in Violet Blue Burst with Ten Top

Presenting the Paul Reed Smith Gary Grainger Signature 5 String Bass, this one in Violet Blue Burst with Flame Maple Ten Top.

“These basses give me everything I need for recording and playing live...all the tone, clarity, power, and feel...everything. They are works of art and great tools for working bassists” - Gary Grainger

The Grainger 5 is the evolution of PRS's Private Stock Gary Grainger Bass line. As the primary designer of PRS's Private Stock basses, Gary (John Scofield, Dennis Chambers, Frank Gambali, etc.) collaborated with many bass artists, including Wyzard (Mother’s Finest) and Kevin Walker (Justin Timberlake), to create a Core PRS bass with all the character and quality of Gary’s Private Stock models but with a more universal appeal.

Some unique features of the Gary Grainger Basses include:

• PRS Bass Bridge: A vintage inspired, tried-and-true design with modern updates to improve tuning stability.
• Bass Tuners: Found exclusively on PRS Grainger basses, these tuners feature an unplated brass shaft for direct string contact.
• PRS GG Bass Pickups: Tone, clarity, and power in the studio or on the stage.

    SWITCHING
