Supreme playability

The Junior Jet Bass II is the perfect starter bass for newer or younger players thanks to its shorter scale length. At 30", the fret distances are shorter, in addition to making the instrument lighter and nimbler to hold. On top of that, its 12" radius laurel fingerboard is comfortable to grip, and provides plenty of space for exploratory basslines.

Electromatic Gretsch aesthetics

Show off a look that's become an icon of guitars. The Electromatic Gretsch series delivers all the authentic appointments and style you'd expect from the vintage brand, from the block inlays to the G-Arrow control knobs. Together with its Ocean Turquoise finish and tortoiseshell pickguard, the Junior Jet Bass fits right alongside the brand's legendary models.

Snappy single coil tones

Create glorious low-down rumbles. The Gretsch G2229B's twin single coils afford you a wealth of tonal options when playing, all of them packed with subsonic detail. From the high snap of the bridge position to the extra-syrupy thickness of the neck, you can adapt to multiple styles and genres with these pickups with ease.
