A PRS 5-string Bass with a Gorgeous 10-Top!

The PRS Grainger 5-string electric bass gives you the thoughtful design and craftsmanship that only PRS can deliver. An evolution of the Private Stock Gary Grainger Bass, the PRS Grainger 5-string bass uses premium tonewoods and electronics to create an extremely versatile and playable bass. The Grainger's mahogany body, gorgeous quilt maple 10-Top, maple neck, and rosewood fingerboard combine to give you a solid tonal foundation, while custom pickups and tone-sculpting active electronics serve up maximum punch and articulation.

  • Solid mahogany topped with maple looks and sounds amazing
  • Active electronics provide the power and tones you need

Solid mahogany topped with maple looks and sounds amazing

To give the PRS Grainger 5-string Bass a rich yet balanced sound, PRS began by choosing the tried-and-true combination of mahogany topped with a gorgeous quilt maple 10-Top. This instrument's mahogany body gives you natural tonal warmth, which is offset perfectly by the brighter tone of the maple. Together, these tonewoods give you an incredibly balanced sound with girth, punch, and articulation.

Active electronics provide the power and tones you need

No matter what type of gig you have, the PRS Grainger 5-string Bass is ready for action. Two custom GG pickups deliver deep, thumping bass tones that every bass player wants. The built-in 3-band EQ lets you dial in the exact tones you need. Each pickup has a push/pull pot that controls volume and also functions as an active/passive switch. Take it from the Sweetwater crew - you can feel confident that you're ready for any gig with the PRS Grainger 5-string Bass.

PRS V12 finish feels like nitro and protects like acrylic

The PRS Grainger 5-string Bass is finished in a stunning PRS V12 finish. If you're seeking vintage vibe with a sophisticated edge, your search ends here. Over a decade in the making, the PRS V12 finish blends the thin, resonance-enhancing characteristics of a nitro finish with the non-cracking reliability you expect from a modern acrylic finish. It has a classic feel all its own that makes your axe feel like a well-worn instrument. One that will look flawless for years to come.

  • A workhorse bass designed by PRS and Gary Grainger
  • Mahogany body with figured maple top delivers deep tones with punch
  • Active/passive pickups and electronics are ready for any gig
