Gretsch

collapse expand iconDescription

The Gretsch Streamliner Jet Club bass gives you vintage style and robust tone in an affordable, short-scale package. With its sleek single-cut body, this bass looks as good as it sounds. The neck's comfortable 30" scale and Soft C profile make the Jet Club easy to play, while a pair of Gretsch-designed Low Down single-coil pickups provide punchy tone with clarity and definition. An intuitive control layout lets you shape your sound with master volume and tone knobs.

Iconic single-cut shape with upscale appointments

The Jet Club bass's single-cut body shape is inspired by classic Gretsch designs of the 1950s. With stylish touches like aged white binding, pearloid thumbnail inlays and a genuine bone nut, this bass looks far more expensive than its modest price suggests. The 12" fingerboard radius and medium jumbo frets make the Jet Club eminently playable, while nickel hardware provides an authentic vintage-styled finish.

Short 30" scale for comfort and playability

The Jet Club bass has a 30" scale length, shorter than a standard long-scale bass. The shorter scale makes the bass very comfortable to play, especially for guitarists transitioning to bass or players with smaller hands. Despite its shorter scale, the Jet Club still produces full, rich low end and articulate mids, with a tone that sits perfectly in a mix.

Low Down single-coil pickups for articulate tone

The Jet Club bass features a pair of Gretsch-designed Low Down single-coil pickups that provide punchy tone with excellent note definition. The bridge pickup delivers a focused, aggressive sound that cuts through the mix, while the neck pickup offers warmer, more rounded tones. With both pickups selected, you get a blend of clarity and fullness that suits a variety of musical styles.

Versatile sound and intuitive controls

With its trio of volume and tone knobs, the Jet Club bass gives you flexibility to craft your own signature sound. Adjust the neck and bridge pickup volumes independently, then dial in the perfect amount of treble roll-off with the master tone control. The Jet Club's combination of Gretsch-designed pickups, a shorter scale length and a straightforward control layout make this an ideal beginner's bass—but its great tone and playability will keep more experienced players happy too.
