I bought this little Gretsch last June and it has had some technical difficulties. Twice now it has played perfectly at night and the next morning, nothing.....I had to take it in to GC about a month ago, a friend of mine is the tech, he said there was a loose connection....he fixed it and it played great until Thursday morning, same thing....nothing. So today I grab the bass and my warranty and go to GC.
The sales clerk called in my warranty to the main office and they wanted to talk to me, she double checked all my information and she said seeing this was the 2nd time in for the same problem, she wants to reimburse me for the cost of the bass plus sales tax with a GC gift card and I get to keep the bass. She asked me if i was alright with that deal and i`m thinking free bass and I still have money to spend ...yeah, I`m alright with that. I`m going to take the Gretsch into a local guitar shop and have it fixed.
I tried a 32" scale Ibanez ABG and was pleased with how it played and sounded. I think I will have to own one....
Update: It`s fixed and playing sweet again!
