Every Private Stock instrument is a work of art! A Private Stock bass, especially a fretless one, is an exclusive in general, and 5 strings to boot... all its merits are below... Gary Grainger (John Scofield, Dennis Chambers, Frank Gambali, Nancy Wilson, etc.) often refers to his signature PRS basses as “works of art and great tools for working bassists.” The July Grainger 5 Fretless Bass celebrates that marriage of form and function with its elegant Tree of Life inlay, fretless design, and versatile Grainger electronics.

Alex Al has also worked with Stevie Wonder, Sting, Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, Taylor Swift, and more. The July Grainger 5 Fret­less Bass models will be finished in Fire Red Smoked Burst. Only six of these instruments will be made for July 2016, commemorating Private Stock’s 20th Anniversary.
