GREZ GUITARS GREZ GRAND TOUR BASS

Grez Guitars has released the five-string Grez Grand Tour Bass, a short scale, 16-inch semi-hollow carve-top. The Grez Grand Tour Bass, originally designed in collaboration with bass powerhouse Ian Martin Allison is, like all Grez instru- ments, a modern sleek interpretation of the classic instruments from the ’50s and ’60s. To follow the initial four-string short scale bass, a full set of variants are now available including four- or five-string configured as a low B or high C, 30- or 34-inch scale, fretted or fretless and right or left-handed. {grezmusic.com}
