Description
Here we have a brand new Gretsch G6136B-TP Tom Petersson Signature 4-String Bass in Aged White! This is a factory-fresh instrument handcrafted in Japan as part of the Gretsch Professional Collection — and it's a fitting tribute to one of the most distinctive bass voices in rock history.
Tom Petersson has been the low-end anchor of Cheap Trick for more than 40 years — a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer whose impeccable playing has driven one of the most influential and infectiously ever-youthful sounds in American power pop. This signature bass puts Petersson's distinctive stamp on the classic Gretsch White Falcon Bass design, and the Aged White finish with gold hardware and gold pickguard is a clean, classic look that suits the instrument's confident personality perfectly.
It's loaded with a pair of premium pickups — a Gretsch Rumble'Tron in the neck position and a custom Seymour Duncan Super'Tron in the middle — delivering a rich, full low end with exceptional clarity and definition. The short 30.3" scale length gives the instrument a punchy, immediate response that's ideal for the driving, melodic bass lines Petersson is known for. The Adjusto-Matic bridge and Gretsch "Cadillac" tailpiece provide stable tuning and solid string tension, while the gloss-finish maple neck has a comfortable "U" profile and a 12"-radius ebony fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and mother-of-pearl inlays — a smooth, fast-playing feel across the full register.
It ships brand new in its original Gretsch packaging with a deluxe hardshell case and all factory documentation. A remarkable signature instrument for any bassist who knows that the best bass playing is about feel, tone, and knowing exactly when to hold back.
