Short Scale Heaven

I'm a short scale enthusiast who owns a Danelectro Longhorn, and a Jay Turser Hofner copy in addition to several long scale basses from Rickenbacker and Fender. Our drummer, who is also a guitarist, recently bought one of these just to have a bass to fool around with and use for his songwriting demos. He brought it to practice one night and I played a set on it and was blown away. If you are a fan of the Gibson EB-0, you should love this bass. The stock strings weren't the best. I'd recommend a set of D'Addario Chromes and this thing will really sing.

I love my Gretsch Bass

I started playing bass about three years ago and had bought a fender jazz bass. Being a female with a small body structure, I became extremley frustrated with the weight of the fender jazz bass. Thats when I came across the Gretsch G2202. It is a short scale bass and light weight. It is so easy to play and doesn't hurt my back after a long show. Not to mention the tone quality is sweet and the price is just right. Not to mention, the Les paul body style always looks cool in my opinion. If your looking for a sharp looking, lightweight, good sounding bass the Gretsch G2202 is for you.

For what this bass costs, it is a great deal. Leave the Danos alone, for the price, this is a much nicer bass. Solid body, with a remarkable finish. Although I'd like to see a second pickup at the bridge, with the pickup placed where it is, a nice variety of sounds can be achieved. Nice job, Gretsch!

Bad for the money

This bass has a really bad sound to it. There are lots of other budget basses that are way better than this. If you are a beginner looking for a cheap bass, dont buy this bass. It costs more than its worth

Gretsch G2202 Electromatic Jr.

Bought this bass as my own 1st bass 4 months ago. Had been playing a borrowed one before that. I spent about 7 hours trying every bass I could find. This was at the BOTTOM of my price range. I did not like the color. I wasn't crazy about the "Les Paul" body style. I didn't want to try it out. When I finally did I bought it. With that 1 pickup and 2 knobs you can get a WIDE range of sounds out of this bass. For the money you can't get better than this. It's heavy, only comes in a black burst, but has a high quality finish. Hardware seems pretty good. Pickup is SWEET!!! Try one and you will keep it!
