PRS Grainger 5 Fretless Bass

Gary Grainger (John Scofield, Dennis Chambers, Frank Gambali, Nancy Wilson, etc.) often refers to his signature PRS basses as “works of art and great tools for working bassists.” The July Grainger 5 Fretless Bass celebrates that marriage of form and function with its elegant Tree of Life inlay, fretless design, and versatile Grainger electronics. Inspired by a Grainger 5 bass made for Alex Al (best known for his more than decade-long career with Michael Jackson), these instruments provide players with a nuanced and expressive tone that is musical and usable in any situation. Alex Al has also worked with Stevie Wonder, Sting, Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, Taylor Swift, and more. The July Grainger 5 Fretless Bass models will be finished in Fire Red Smoked Burst. Only six of these instruments will be made for July 2016, commemorating Private Stock’s 20th Anniversary.
