Gretsch G2220 Junior Jet Bass II Review

I'm impressed

As a beginner bass player, this short scale guitar is perfect for me. The quality of the guitar exceeded my expectations for the price. Very happy with my purchase and Sweetwater.

Great !

this works great for me since I am a short person with small hands and it's light and easy to play.

Very Cool Short Scale

I wanted to try a short scale and had it down to either the Gretsch G2220 or the Fender Mustang Player. I loved the look of the G2220 and it was less than half the price so I went with it. Very pleased so far. The color is awesome and I love the body. It's light weight and the shorter neck is easy and fun to play on. It's true the pickups aren't actually humbuckers but they sound… read more fantastic to my ears anyway. Wonderful little bass for the price and it's refreshing how much less cumbersome it is than a standard size.

Very good bass

I've been a guitar player for a few years and wanted to break into playing the bass. The design and price were the main selling points of this for me and after playing it for a few weeks I can say that this bass is very good. Plays real nice and isn't too heavy and looks beautiful.

My favorite bass I've ever owned

I've been playing bass for almost 2 decades now, and I've owned everything from Squiers to Steinbergers. But for me, this is it. I've got small hands, so short scales are my preference, and this is one of the nicest you can find out there. The fit and finish easily matches an MIM Fender at half the price and absolutely destroys anything Gibson makes at any market segment. It's… read more comfortable, its easy to set up, it sounds fantastic, and it's easy to play. I wish more companies would make short scales this good.

Dude…

For the price the bass is amazing! It was definitely an impulse buy on a recent trip to the store and I regret nothing. It is so much fun to play! It feels amazing for being a budget bass and sounds great!

Never too old to learn

I wanted an electric bass that would fit my small hands and lack of experience. I couldn't be happier and I'm having a great time.

Awesome Bass, Awesome Tone, Awesome Price

For $... this bass kicks. The tone is thick and fantastic, the mini-humbuckers sound great.It's light, and the short scale lends to an ease of playing.My only real complaint is the neck dive, but otherwise it's great.

Awesome Bass

Surprisingly playable and perfectly set up. Arguably the best looking bass in the price range and it has it's own tone. Nicest fret work and overall finish I've ever seen in a $... instrument, it's better than most in the $500 range. In fact the fret work is better than my TRBX 504.Now my comlaints and the reasons for the 4 star review. The D tuner on mine is crooked. In looking… read more at the pics here and elsewhere it seems about 3 out of 4 of these have a mismounted tuner. Come on Gretsch it's not that difficult to get this right. The set screws in the G Arrow knobs bug me. For appearance I'd much prefer splined pots and press on knobs.

Gretsch Junior jet bass

Love this bass. Perfect size for smaller hands but not too small its just right. The weight is good, not heavy at all. The color and finish are beautiful. The neck is done in gloss finish and feels smooth and fast. The sound is really good and flexible enough to have some fun with. This bass was a good purchase and I would recommend it.
