Gretsch has convinced musicians around the world with its Electromatic series, a line of high-quality instruments at unbeatable prices. Each model features the brand's classic lines, high-quality construction materials and a sound comparable to higher-end instruments.
The Gretsch G2220 bass is a faithful example of the commitment that the American brand has put into this series. The body is made of American linden (known as basswood), and has the Jet shape, one of the most popular in this series due to its ergonomics and comfort.
The Imperial Stain model has a finish that discreetly reveals the characteristics of the wood, in a dark tone, reminiscent of other decades.
The G2220 Electromatic JR Jet Bass II is a short scale bass, that is, it has a smaller neck - 770mm, instead of the usual 860mm - which makes it very comfortable and easy to play, especially for younger bass players or by musicians more accustomed to the guitar scale. The neck wood is maple and the fingerboard is black walnut.
It has a vintage style, but the construction couldn't be more modern. The G2220 Electromatic JR Jet Bass II has a nut and position indicators made of high quality synthetic materials. The black plexi pickguard features the Gretsch logo in white.
The sound of the G2220 Electromatic JR Jet is powerful, with great presence, thanks to the two Gretsch® Mini Humbucking pickups, controlled by a volume potentiometer and a tone potentiometer, and can be combined or used individually, selecting one of the three positions on the selector.
Gretsch instruments are authentic in their search for a bold, dynamic and articulate sound, allowing effortless technical execution under any circumstances thanks to the care that the American brand puts into the construction of each of its products.
The Gretsch G2220 Electromatic JR Jet Bass II Imperial Stain is a high-quality electric bass ideal for multifaceted musicians and multi-instrumentalists, for stages or recording studios.
