I snagged the last "piece of the pie" in terms of basic (or bass-sick) variety of bass models for my wife. It arrived yesterday after some lags in getting shipped.
It is a rather nice looking Gary Grainger 4 string with rosewood fretboard in Fire Red Burst (not sure of the "burst", frankly):
It has some rather nice "normal" grain that flows well against the flame:
It has a few small dings, which means neither my wife nor I are gonna feel bad if it gets another from hard work gigging or practicing. This is one of about three noticeable ones - the other two are down on the bottom, rear side as well:
She played it at practice last night. She said at first it felt heavier than her Kingfisher, but adjusted that comment after acknowledging it just might have been the OHSC that threw off her weight judgement.
But she really liked how it felt, nice action, etc. But her other PRS basses play very nicely too, so no knocking them!
She'll do a compare against the rest of her collection tonight, hopefully. She also has a Kingfisher, Kestrel, EB-4, and Bass-5. The Bass-5 is not really played, she hasn't quite sussed out that fifth string yet.
And while the EB-4 is a Tobacco Burst or maybe Sunburst finish, the rest are red. She seems to have a thing for red...
