Gretsch G2220 Electromatic Jr Jet II Bass, Black Overview
The Gretsch G2220 Electromatic Jr Jet Bass II is a masterpiece designed to make your bass tone fuller and richer than ever. Crafted from basswood and adorned with dazzling chrome hardware, its lightweight body is stage-ready and raring to go. Thanks to its short scale length, it's not only a dream to fret across, but also a producer of huge, thick, rumbling tones, whilst the smooth maple neck provides all the strength and durability you need to perform fearlessly.
A pair of Gretsch mini bass humbuckers are the two showstoppers of this instrument. They're guaranteed to send plenty of crisp, dynamic sound out into the room, engulfing you and your audience with every note. Plus, they have that all-important twang, so you can be sure to pierce through the mix. And to match its excellent sound, the G2220 also has an eye-catching aesthetic. From the intriguing Bristol Fog finish to gleaming chrome hardware, every inch of this bass holds a wealth of that renowned Gretsch quality.

They also have the ability to make everything you play sound crisper and more powerful than ever, filling the room with wondrously full-bodied bass tones.
Legendary design
The Electromatic Jr Jet Bass features a short scale length, something which has been counted on by the likes of Paul McCartney, Bill Wyman, and Jack Bruce. Once you start playing, you'll immediately come to see why it's so popular. This scale length requires lower string tension, which, in turn, allows for fat and full lows - a real bass sound.
Three magnificent tonewoods
Chosen for their durability, stability, and delightful tonal capabilities, the tonewoods of this guitar don’t disappoint. Its maple neck and walnut fretboard can take any amount of ferocious playing, whilst injecting your tone with a woody, earthy voicing and beautifully crisp definition. Basswood has then been used for the body. It's an unfaltering tonewood that is consistently relied on for bass instruments. Expect a perfectly balanced sound with plenty of dynamics and twang. Plus, it's wonderfully lightweight, so you can perform for hours without any strain or discomfort.
