From Our Research Team:

Short-scale Tone Machine

Do you want a bass, but don't want the big stretches between frets? The new short-scale Gretsch Junior Jet Bass is the instrument for you. It doesn't matter whether you have small hands, or if this bass is for a young beginner, or even of you are a guitar player looking for an easier playing bass, the Jet Bass has you covered. The 30.3" scale length keeps wide stretches to a minimum. The basswood body and maple neck combine for a warm and detailed sound. If you want big bass tone and a short-scale length, the Gretsch Junior Jet Bass is for you.

Gretsch Junior Jet Bass Guitar at a Glance:
  • Classic Gretsch looks will turn heads
  • Constructed for tone and comfort
  • Shorter scale neck is easier to play

Classic Gretsch looks will turn heads
This short-scale bass is sure to make musicians take a second look. The classic Gretsch Electromatic headstock on the Gretsch Junior Jet Bass is instantly recognizable. The familiar Jet body shape is comfortable to play and light weight. You'll love not only the looks, but the feel of the Gretsch Junior Jet Bass!

Constructed for tone and comfort
You'll love the feel and comfort of the Gretsch Junior Jet Bass. The lightweight basswood body provides warm, full tone without breaking your back. The strong maple neck and toneful rosewood fretboard combine to give you an easy playing bass with warm, clean notes that will sing while you play.

Shorter scale neck is easier to play
The Gretsch Junior Jet Bass scale length has a lot of advantages, especially if you like bending and a little more trebly, throaty sound. A shorter scale also lets you do things you can't do on your 34-inch bass (at least, that you can't do as easily), like effortless leaps of six frets without changing position, which makes this bass perfect for fast playing. But it's the tone you'll really love.

Gretsch Junior Jet Bass Guitar Features:
  • Short-scale bass with big tone
  • Mini humbucker for big bass tone
  • 30.3" scale length is perfect for smaller hands

Add a great-playing short-scale bass to your collection with the Gretsch Junior Jet Bass!

Great value & sound

by Rob from Lake Tahoe, Ca.
December 15, 2011
Music Background: Love to play, even for no pay
Can't expect the best if you don't pay the price, but for price paid it was
a four star deal. So easy to play & sounds terrific whether; strummed,
pick, plucked. Tuners don't hold tune f... read more [+]or long, but with "Snark" no big deal
Didn't like the trans black finish, looked like they just ran out of paint in the middle of the body, wouldn't want to show off Basswood anyway (yellow)
But with a cool graphics package, professional set up, it's now a regular
player. close [-]

Nice feel, could use some work

by Chet from New York, NY
November 10, 2011
Music Background: semi-pro musician
I picked this bass up to try out a short-scale neck for a punk project. The bass feels pretty amazing and looks nice, though here are my complaints:

- I had to reinforce the output jack... read more [+] after 2 weeks
- The tuners are pretty cheap, I have to tune every 2-3 songs
- The tone knob acts more like an on/off switch than a sweep

It's not a pro-bass by any means, but if would be a great starter bass for someone. It definitely makes me want to get the Gretsch Thunder Jet for the quality bump. close [-]
