The Gretsch G2220 Junior Jet Bass II in Black is decked out with classic Gretsch appointments that look, great and give out powerful bass tone, with a short 30.3-inch scale neck for easier reach right up the neck and a punchier sound. The aesthetics are simple but make a statement with their stripped-back elegance, this is a bass for people who want great tone with a no frills attitude.

Short-scale neck design

The Gretsch G2220 Junior Jet Bass II is equipped with a shorter scale (30.3-inches) maple neck, which is more accommodating for players with a smaller reach and produces a focused, punchy midrange energy. The deep D neck profile guarantees a reassuringly substantial feel in the hand without becoming cumbersome or unwieldy. Paired with the neck is a cool rosewood fingerboard, which is home to 20-frets that bow to a graceful 12-inch radius to produce the smoothest of playing surfaces. The gloss urethane finish prevents unwanted wear and tear from affecting the playability of the neck.

Comfortable single-cutaway body

The body is built using basswood, a lightweight and tonally versatile wood that is perfect as the partner to the short-scale neck design. Matching comfortability with regard to weight, the body has been crafted using a single-cutaway to enable greater access to the upper frets, opening up the fingerboard in its entirety.

Gretsch mini-humbuckers

The two mini-humbucker pickups give a thick tone with great sustain and a hotter output, which will help get the best out of your amp, with a brighter output from the bridge pickup and a warmer response from the neck pickup. There are two knobs, volume and tone, so you can control your sound quickly without unnecessary complication.

Gig-ready hardware

The chrome hardware guarantees a clean look and complements the sleek black finish beautifully. The combination of four-saddle bridge and die-cast tuning machines works harmoniously to optimise intonation and sustain, whilst upholding tuning integrity with precision. The Gretsch logo adorns the headstock - and is also featured on the pickguard
