Other than cosmetics, how would you compare the two sonically, playbility, whatever info would be very much appreciated.

I even asked them if they could make me a custom bass out of their 6119B except with Falcon Hardware and the Falcon Headstock but they said no. Anyway this is one of my dream basses for years. Its a shame that the time it comes out is the time I cant afford one. I just wish they made the Silver Falcon into a bass as well. I wouldnt care what I'd have to sell to get my hands on one of those. http://www.gretschguitars.com/gear/index.php?product=G6136TSL&cat1=&cat2=&q=&st=1 Now imagine that as a bass!!!! Im drooling. Anyway "BASSMAN" to answer your question about the round leather pad on the back, its to prevent belt scratches on the finish (not that anyone willing to pay $3500 for this bass would be stupid enough to wear something that would scratch it during a show but there are idiots out there). Anyway as for the tone I cant be quite sure exactly how it sounds because I've never played this model but one of my basses is a Gretsch G6073 and it has the same TV Jones Thundertron pickups and it sounds amazing! I would think the only difference between the two would be that my G6073 has simulated F holes and this one has real F holes. Anyway I would recommend a Gretsch to any Hollowbody Bass enthusiast. I own two. I have a Gretsch 6119B Broadkaster Bass, and a Gretsch G6073 Electrotone and I love those Basses!!! I also have a couple of others like a Epiphone Jack Cassady but If I was doing a huge show and I had only one bass to choose it would definately be a Gretsch!

They only charge $3600 for it: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Gretsch-Guitars-G6136LSB-White-Falcon-Long-Scale-Bass?sku=514191 If only I had $3600 to spare.

I've always been a White Falcon fan and this is a dream come true! I mean, it would be a dream if I had like 3000$... What's the round thing on the back supposed to do? My God it’s gorgeous!
