The Gretsch? It's a '64 Model 6070. Long scale, single pickup. Huge body, and the fattest neck you can imagine. I saw it on TV in 1993, had to have it, took me two hours to find the guy who played it on TV (thru mutual friends), only to learn that he already sold it to another guy who sold it to a third person. Nagged the owner for a year, until he broke down and agreed to trade it for another bass. He wanted a MIJ Squier J in Oly White so I went out and bought one for him.
I have it strung with Rotosound Tru Bass black nylon strings, they make it sound like the epitome of 60's bass tone.
It's a poor man's 4005WB
