PRS Guitars Collaborates with Gary Grainger to Introduce New Core Bass Line
Gary Grainger has played with the likes of John Scofield, Dennis Chambers, and Frank Gambale. As the primary designer of PRS Private Stock basses, Gary collaborated with many bass artists, including Wyzard (Mothers Finest) and Kevin Walker (Justin Timberlake), to create a PRS bass with all the character and quality of Gary’s Private Stock models but with a more universal appeal that could be offered through the company’s Core production line. Specifications include a maple top, mahogany back, 34” scale length, 24 fret maple neck, rosewood fretboard, and PRS bird inlays. Grainger 4 and 5 basses operate both passively and actively.
“These basses give me everything I need for recording and playing live...all the tone, clarity, power, and feel...everything. They are works of art and great toois for working bassists,” Gary Grainger.
