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 II 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 if you are a guitar player looking for an easier playing bass, the Jet Bass II 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 II is for you!

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 II is instantly recognizable. The familiar Jet body shape is comfortable to play and lightweight. You'll love not only the looks but also the feel of the Gretsch Junior Jet Bass II!

Constructed for tone and comfort

You'll love the feel and comfort of the Gretsch Junior Jet Bass II. The lightweight basswood body provides warm, full tone without breaking your back. The strong maple neck and toneful walnut 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 II 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 II Guitar Features:

  • Short-scale bass with big tone
  • Dual single-coil pickups provide a deep, organic bass sound
  • 30.3" scale length is perfect for smaller hands and fast fretwork
  • Walnut fretboard has a 12" radius, flatter for faster playability
  • Basswood body is lightweight and comfortable to wear

Color: chef's kiss

This is my first short scale and it has made a believer out of me. I saw that mike from royal blood uses these and then I saw this color and now it's in my house. I haven't gigged with it yet but boy howdy I can't wait to.
Music background: above average bass player (whatever that means)
Rated 3/5

I want to Love it but out of the box there are some issues.

I was really excited about this short scale bass as I had read lots of reviews and i like the idea of a smaller bass. As far as tone control goes I think it is amazing. I love that I am able to change between pickups and get such different tones.

The issues are mostly related to intonation. I waited a few months to be sure that it wasn't just new strings but this thing does not stay in tune. I use this primarily in churches and I find myself needing to tune during each song and in between songs.

The E string is almost unusable as it goes out of tune the easiest.

I am taking it in to the shop for maintenance and I am sure afterwards it will feel and sound great. I was just surprised as Sweetwater is typically pretty good at making sure that it is good to go when they ship it out.
