Grez Guitars has released the Mendocino Long Scale Bass, which follows up on the company’s short scale version. Utilizing salvaged old-growth redwood and a semi-hollow construction, the bass captures the aesthetic and voice of the classic instruments it’s based on, while delivering modern high-performance hardware and playability. The 34-inch scale instrument weighs 5.9 pounds, making it comfortable for long gigs. Its semi-hollow construction gives it a unique and complex voice. The Babicz saddles ensure solid intonation and energy transfer to the instrument’s body.
