I\u2019m still a novice bass player so I\u2019m just looking at the aesthetics of its assembly and tech specs. I\u2019m drooling at this point: A) it\u2019s a PRS and B) this Gary Grainger guy has a really great bio.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, the pickups\u2026\u201dThe instrument has an unusual pickup arrangement, using four single coils combined into two &#8220;separated&#8221; hum-canceling pickups\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not sure if you follow the PRS line but PRS are great guitars. I wasn\u2019t so sure about the bass. As far as I could see, this bass would sound good.<\/p>\n<p>A couple of weeks later a friend of mine was asking me if I ever heard of Acoustic Alchemy. He\u2019s a hard core guitar player and uses Acoustic Alchemy as one of the bands he listens to and tries to copy.

It\u2019s the Gary Grainger bass. I\u2019m thinking, \u201cReally? Could it be?\u201d Sure enough, it\u2019s Gary Grainger himself on his Gary Grainger Private Stock Bass. I almost fainted.<\/p>\n<p>I sat there excitedly watching his every move and hearing every tone that bass put out. Yeah, there were the two lead guitarists who were the stars of the show but it\u2019s all about the bass player, right?<\/p>\n<p>We stayed after the show to meet the band. I was nervous. I\u2019ve never been nervous like this before. Here we are (Gary is the first one on the back row, I\u2019m the fifth from the left on the backrow):<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/acousticalchemy.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-52 aligncenter\" title=\"Acoustic Alchemy\" src=\"https:\/\/edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/acousticalchemy-300x239.jpg\" alt=\"Acoustic Alchemy\" width=\"300\" height=\"239\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/acousticalchemy-300x239.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/acousticalchemy-600x480.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/acousticalchemy.jpg 619w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">That was such an exciting concert.
