NBD: Gretsch G2220 Junior Jet - Torino Green

[lermgalieu]

Title says it all. I got bit by the shortscale bug when I got my JMJ Mustang last year, and I played this guy and "needed" it. Plus my wife encouraged me, so I wasn't gonna let the opportunity pass! I dig the green. I have two "burst" basses already (a cherry burst Stingray and a tobacco burst P), otherwise the tobacco burst looked cool too. Yes, the plastic is still on the pups - maybe I should keep it on forever like a gramma.

Cool little bass! I like the color. Congrats!

And on the truss rod cover. For us tone junkies, as soon as you get the chance, please post sound clips with and without the polyethylene.

 

[Swingin]

If I got one of those, that’s the color I get. Sucks that every guitar center I’ve been in has the burst one.

Haha - unlikely that will happen.

How do you like that amp and cab combo??

Also great bass!​

That's my practice rig that I use at home and for little gigs. I absolutely love the One10. The TC gets the job done, but I don't love it. Thinking about ditching it for an Elf, since the main thing with this rig is small and light. Good sound is just a bonus lol. For my main rig I use a Mesa D-800 and Subway 12/15 stack.

 

[nonohmic]

Cool. Yeah I had been considering the BAM200 and One10 as a cool little, loud-ish rig.

Yeah - that's a BH250. Like I said, it's fine, but there's something about it that leaves me not totally satisfied. However, you can load TonePrints in and I found that loading in a bit of tube emulation is helpful in making it a little less sterile.

I'd love to get my hands on one of those. Especially in that color.
Cool bass . Congrats.

There is one Walnut Stained in Kennesaw GC and used one in Macon GC ($199)

That really looks good in the green.

 

[mikewalker]

Nice!
That Moss green has me pining for the fjords...

 

[bobba66]

Sweet.

 

[blue4]

I have the red one. You're gonna be happy with that bass.

 

[CapnSev]

I’m in love with these basses. I’m amazed at the fretwork on every one I pick up.

Nice. I was planning on running out to a GC later today, so I may just hit up the Kennesaw location. Never been to that one yet. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[Border]

Congratulations on your new bass! Never played that model but it looks great. Congrats on your cool wife as well. Enjoy!

Co-signed. I typically shun green basses but I'd drive it off and put Competition stripes on it.

Nice!

Don't you mean the Norwegian blue?

Beautiful plumage!
