Great shortscale for the money
For the price, the Gretch G2202 Electromatic Junior Jet is an amazing bass.
First the down-side... Well, it has a few construction issues, like slightly unevan gaps around the neck joint. I don't know if that means it will have some long-term problems, but I've had this bass for about a year, and it's doing quite well.
The sound, for a one-pickup, shortscale bass, it really impressive. That one pickup delivers a serious punch and, with the tone rolled all the way up, it can even get a convincing "My Generation" twang. Rolled back, it can sound very warm and jazzy.
Like all shortscale basses, the E-string can be a bit muddy with the tone all the way back, but that has more to do with the nature of short instruments and slack strings than with the design of this instrument.
The finish is good -- great in some respects -- though some of the frets were a bit rough at the ends.
And it looks good.
I really can't think of anything else in its pricepoint that comes close in sound. The Fender Mustang Bass maybe -- but for more than twice the price.

Amazing!!
This a fantastic bass. The first bass that I've had, and I didn't appreciate it enought until I started playing it my band. Fantastic sound and great action right out of the box. Only problems I had with it was that the little nylon spacer on the G tuning key broke off, so now when I tune the string, it's rough. Other than that, it's perfect.

WOW!
I am a self-taught bass player and ive been playing for close to two years now. This is the second bass ive owned and it is AWESOME! Im a small person who learned to play on a normal 34in neck but when I went shopping i wanted somthing a little more comfortable to me. Both the basses Ive had are shortscale and ive done much research on the differences in neck length vs sound quality. I myself see no difference with this bass compared with most normal scale basses. Great quality sound with unique shape and great playabilty. The pickup is very nice as well. I fully recomend it to lovers of shortscales.

Nothing Else Close in this Price Range
Good set-up and fretwork - straight from the box to the studio.
Modern sound.
Sensible bridge mount design - tried and true screws, not push-in pegs.
The manufacturing focus is obviously on the playability of the neck - exactly where it should be in this price range.
Thank-you Gretsch!

Awesome Bass
I have had this thing for almost a year. It plays awesome. The short scale neck helps play faster songs. I would highly recomend this bass to anyone, especially beginners.

Great long lasting bass, YOU WILL NOT BE DISPLEASED!
I bought this bass when i was in 7th grade just because i had been playing the upright bass in school. I bought this bass used and I sat down with it and fell in love right away. You can't go wrong with a Gretsch product. I am now a JUNIOR in highschool with 2 other basses, an Epiphone Thunderbird and a Fender Special Jazz fretless, and I always play this one the most...I love this guitar to death and will keep it forever. If you are considering buying this bass for yourself or for your child....DO IT!! you will not regret your descision.

Electromatic Junior Bass Guitar
This little solid body is sweet with great punch and tone.As a Hofner Beatle Bass player this Junior Jet offers the deep warmth I love with LaBella flat wounds.The intonation on this 30" scale is very good.In terms of it's construction it is very acceptable considering the cost.
Overall this bass is a great value!

best bass for the money
i was looking for a travel bass and this one is perfect, was very impressed with the action and intonation, I have a couple 1500.00 dollar + basses and this one plays and sounds just as good as they do, best bass for the money, If you're just learning to play bass this one is perfect.

Awesome Bass
I got this bass a month ago. I really like it. I've been playing for four years now it's fun to play. It's hard to hit the upper frets but most bassists don't play up there. The bass sounds good. I like how the pickguard says gretsch on it. In my opinion it's a nice bass.
