G6199B Billy Bo Jupiter Thunderbird is the only signature bass produced by Gretsch Guitars. It is a four-stringed variant of the Billy Bo Jupiter Thunderbird electric guitar. This one is a solid-bodied and short-scaled four-stringer made primarily for the fans of Billy Gibbons and Bo Diddley. 30-1/3" scale, set in neck construction, chrome-plated hardware and vintage-styled electronics are featured on this model. Firebird Red is the main color scheme for this model. Black pickguard and chrome hardware give a nice contrast to the gloss-finished fiery red body. Standard two-piece bridge is installed on the flat and bound top. In the front, Gretsch installs a pair of humbuckers. Set in neck is made of mahogany and it`s topped with a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard.
