Full Description

Crsip, twangy, tantalising tones

Leave your audience wanting more. Send them into oblivion with your ferocious bass sound. You're guaranteed a wild performance when you have the power of a Gretsch mini bass humbucker. And there are two of them on this instrument for even more tonal goodness. These mini pickups deliver superb amounts of twang, so you can project each and every note with delicious definition and character. And that's not all. They also have the ability to make everything you play sound clearer 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.
