Private Stock DNA in a Workhorse 4-String
The PRS Grainger 4-String Bass takes everything Gary Grainger loves about his Private Stock instruments and brings it into a core model that real working bassists can actually put on stages and in studios every night. It is powerful, clear, incredibly flexible, and dressed up in a 10-Top Cobalt Smokeburst top that looks as massive as it sounds.
Real talk, this bass was designed by a player who has logged serious miles with artists like John Scofield and Dennis Chambers. It is built to deliver tone, clarity, power, and feel in one clean shot, whether you are tracking a modern R&B record or holding down a loud fusion gig.
10-Top Maple Snap Meets Mahogany Punch
The solidbody recipe of a carved 10-Top maple cap over a mahogany back is classic PRS for a reason. The maple adds attack, definition, and that piano like snap on the front of every note, while the mahogany brings the low end heft and warmth that makes a mix feel bigger without getting boomy.
The violin top carve and Cobalt Smokeburst finish are not just eye candy. The carve makes the bass feel more ergonomic against your body, and the burst highlights the figuring on the 10-Top so it looks alive under stage lights. You get boutique level aesthetics with a platform that is absolutely meant to be played, not babied.
GG 4 Neck: Fast, Confident, Effortless
The maple GG 4 neck profile is that sweet middle ground between slim and substantial. It fills your hand enough to keep your left hand relaxed, but it never feels like you are fighting extra wood when you need to fly up to the upper register.
A 34 inch scale, 24 frets, and a 10 inch radius rosewood fingerboard give you modern playability with familiar feel. Chords feel natural, runs stay clean, and sliding up to those high octave melodies is smooth and precise. The reinforced double acting truss rod keeps the neck stable, so your setup stays dialed in through seasons and tours.
GG4 Humbuckers With PRS/Grainger Active Circuit
The dual GG4 humbuckers are all about usable, musical range. They stay tight and articulate on the low end, have a focused midrange that cuts without honk, and a top end that stays glassy and clear instead of harsh. They handle fingers, pick, and slap with zero drama.
The PRS/Grainger active electronics give you two push/pull volume controls and a 3 knob EQ that make this bass a tone chameleon. You can scoop for sleek modern gospel and R&B, push the mids for fusion and rock, or bump a little top for extra snap. It is the kind of circuit that rewards small moves, so you can really fine tune how you sit in the band.
Gig Ready Hardware, Studio Grade Consistency
The PRS 4-String Bass bridge keeps intonation rock solid and lets the body ring freely, so notes bloom instead of choking out. Nickel hardware and purpose built bass tuners keep everything feeling smooth and precise, from tuning up to making tiny adjustments mid set.
At 9.8 pounds, this Grainger 4 feels reassuringly solid without crossing into boat anchor territory. It balances well on a strap, holds tuning, and ships in a hardshell case so it is protected between the studio, the van, and the gig. Photos are of the actual bass you will receive.
