Just finished up our yearly trip out east to Nova Scotia (25 hour drive!). Anyways while we were out there I popped into a Long & McQuade music store and they had a couple Gretsch G2220 Electromatic Junior Jet II's on display. I picked one up and fell in love with it. Nice warm bass and when you boost the tone you can get a nice grindy mid tone as well. After I played it for about an hour I was sold. The $399 CAD price tag helped as well. Very good set up. Build quality is excellent and it's also my first short scale which I am also digging.

Cool bass

Wow. That was impressive!

These things are WAY cool! Local GC has 2 of them, & I'm seriously considering depleting their supply by one. Looks exactly like yours. Such cool tones you can get out of it!

...I am 6' 5", so...I might look even goofier than normal...

They are great fun! Wish I could find an old single pickup one some time!

Yeah love the tones out of it and they sound amazing through pedals as well. I only use OD and distortion but it sounds killer I see why Mike Kerr uses them for the Royal Blood stuff. I'm only 5'7 so it might look less goofy than a regular size bass on me

Didn't even know they had a one pu version! I'm into the double humbucker sound at the moment. Have you played one? Does it sound similar to the neck pu on this model?

I played one in a music store in Ithica NY once. ...never forgot the tone. Lots of cahones / dollar!

Cool video. I got quite a laugh at about the 17:03 mark LOL the Trump bass

Still getting use to the size but man does this thing bark! It's more aggressive than my long scale but can also dial in good mellow tones as well. I think I'll be on the look out for another. Being 5'7 is helping though it doesn't look too small on me hahah.
