Not mine, but my Son's Yamaha TRBX174EW. He was looking for something cheap to keep in his bands studio. He picked it up in like new condition on Marketplace for $100, we installed a set of Quarter Pounders in it. Not a hugely expensive mod, but definitely a big improvement. He prefers it to...

Yeah, it sounds and plays great. It just needs a set of flats on it. I typically build with spare parts and upgrade later if it's worth it. This one's definitely worth it, I have a set of Quarter Pounders for it.

My latest home build. 30 inch scale, Alder body, Maple reverse headstock C shaped neck with 12 inch radius 20 fret Rosewood fretboard, Cherry pickguard, 4 way reverse Tele controls, the reverse P and J pickups are from the spare parts bin, The tuners are an old set of Grovers I had on...

Got them from an old friend in Ky, unfortunately he retired. It's a shame , he did really nice work. I bought this one and a matching 5 string neck from him and both are very good quality and have a great feel.

It's proven itself worthy of a set of Duncan 1/4 pounders, Mojotone controls, hi mass bridge and Grover tuners. It quickly became my primary player and is the best playing short scale I've ever seen. I like it well enough that I've been working on a 2nd one with J pups, 4 way Tele controls and a...

Not well, but I expected that going into the project. I only play seated due to medical issues so neck isn't quite as much of an problem. The pickup rings are for covered Tele.style.pickups they fit a little tight but they work.

You might try D'Addario half rounds, similar in feel and tone and I believe they have the set you are looking for.

I'll join up. I'm a short scale guy from way back. Current stable included a G2220 a home built 29.75 inch Strat Bass and 2 homebuilt 30 inch offsets, configured as a PJ and a JJ with J and 4 way reversed Tele controls respectively. I'm still amazed by how good the 2220 is for it's price point.

I use a Hartke HD 50 as a practice amp, when I need to keep it down I use Mackie MC 250 headphones. I've found it to be a good combo. They also have an HD 25 combo if you'd prefer something smaller. I noticed the ZOOM BX 4 mentioned it makes a reasonably good headphone amp and has plenty of...

I recently completed a Tele bodied 34 inch with 50's style single coils in a 70's J bass layout, added a 4 way switch and reversed the pots. I opted for a set of cheap pick ups for the set up with the intention of upgrading to Seymour Duncan Antiquity II's later. I ordered a pair of LYWS pickups...

I see no reason not to, in fact I've been planning to do exactly that to mine. Already have the pots, the cap and 4 spare G Arrow knobs. I just have to many projects going to get to it.

I take a few pics when I'm out for a ride.

Agreed, it's hard to believe how much the $300 instrument has improved over the years. I was sceptical but loved the look and assumed being a Gretsch it wouldn't be "that bad". My 2220 holds its own against it's stable mates past and present. Yamaha's, G&L's, Fenders, Washburns,etc.

Happy to be of service.

Hi Dan, Go to Bass :: G2220 Electromatic® Junior Jet™ Bass II Short-Scale, Black Walnut Fingerboard, Tobacco Sunburst Select your model ( this is for my G 2220) and scroll down. Below the spec table you'll see the button to down load the set up pdf.

I agree Townsend is awesome. I've always preferred it to the touristy nonsense that is Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge. This pic was my last trip to the Dragon/Devil's Triangle area before I moved to the PNW. We crossed the Cherohola Skyway in the snow on that trip, then got rained on all the way back...

I'm not a sports guy but that's pretty cool. As for having 2 or more of the same instrument. What you said exactly, it's not at all uncommon to have similar guitars or basses setup differently for different needs. And with a Gretsch you have the added bonus of not sounding like everyone else. I...

I only have the 2220 for now. The quality and playability are way above the price point. I've lusted after Gretsch guitars and basses for years and played them at every opportunity. Guild acoustics hold the same fascination for me. Now that I'm to old to take full advantage of it I'll have a...

That's pretty much the same story as how I ended up with mine. As much as I like it with the tape wounds I do kinda miss the tone it had with round wounds. Hence the debate over getting a 2nd one. Then there's the fact that one can never have to many Gretsch's.

Really like the green, but I couldn't resist the walnut/heritage red. I've been debating on picking a green one up to string with round wounds. I keep tape wounds on the red one.

This will be the enclosure for version 2.0 of the mini amp. When it's done it will be usb rechargeable or 110v. Single channel 10watts, 3.5 inch driver, bluetooth, usb, 3.5mm and 1/4 inch inputs.

Now I just want one more. Very cool project. I'm a CNC/robotics programmer/process technician by trade, spent a lot of time wishing I could borrow a company machine for a couple hours.

I like that a lot. I've thinking about a Tele bodied shorty, wasn't sure I'd ever build it till I saw this. Now I have to have one.

That is precisely why I stop at 97.

The 3 amigo's. 2007 Triumph America @ Townsend TN Great Smokey Mountains National Park. Rode that one coast to coast in 2011, ended up moving West. 2014 Star Bolt. @ McClellan Overlook WA state. Mt St Helens in the background. 2014 Honda CTX 1300 @ Fossil Oregon Painted Hills National Preserve.

Dang it! Time to upgrade already.

It's a TFW short scale kit. The finish is Rit dye and wipe on poly on the body, Rit dye and carnuba wax on the neck. The wood is 4pc Adler and slightly figured maple. Still need to figure out a different pick guard and I think the copper is a step to far. When I upgrade the hardware I'll...

Link to my practice rig. Killer practice rig.

It's wired V/B/T, so technically in the center position I'm at 200.

Spot on 9lbs with the strap.

Thanks, we're working on a pedal design that will hopefully breakdown and store inside the amp. I'll update this post with whatever we come up with.

Usually R rated occasionally spiking into the X rating zone.

But your volume knob will still only go to 10 if it's even numbered at all.

Busy being old.

Very nice.

Yeah its pretty green. That's multiple coats 2 shades of Rit dye over Adler top coated with minwax wipe on poly.

This guy gets it.
