Gretsch G5442BDC Electromatic Hollow Body Short Scale Bass Guitar with Hard Case, Trans Red (pre-owned)

“Short Scale, Huge Vibe”.

Big, woody thump in an effortlessly cool package, this Gretsch Hollow Body Bass is all about feel and vibe. With its fully hollow construction and short-scale comfort, it delivers that unmistakable Gretsch warmth: round lows, punchy mids and a smooth, blooming resonance that sits beautifully in any mix. It’s the kind of bass that makes a statement to the eyes and ears.

This example is in great played condition, showing only minimal fret wear and light surface scratches from honest use. The finish carries a few small marks but there are no dings, cracks or structural issues to note. It presents very well overall and feels lively and responsive in hand.

The short-scale design makes it incredibly comfortable to play, with a slinky feel that encourages creativity and groove. Whether you’re chasing vintage inspired tones, indie textures or rootsy low end warmth, this Electromatic delivers character in every note. A stylish, stage ready hollow body that blends classic Gretsch aesthetics with smooth, playable performance, ready to drop straight into rehearsals, recording sessions or the next gig.
