Great demo vid. I've just put my month old Ibanez TMB30 up for sale because of coming across this several times on TH-cam and loving the sound and aesthetics more.
Mate great video, thanks for doing this. I'm actually a drummer but old age and arthritis are conspiring to put an end to that...hand pain is a constant these days. Looking at getting a bass to learn on as I don't want to quit music and the bass seems like way less impact on the hands. Loving the sounds you're getting out of this Gretsch. Cheers.
In your other video, you say those are dual coil mini humbuckers. Gretsch and Fender are in a bit of a scandal over this bass right now because, while this model is marketed as having dual coil mini humbuckers, it’s been proven that each one is a single coil- not a humbucker.
Yes you are right, I learned this after the release of my unboxing video and have changed the "features" part in the text of my video about the pickups. It seems the bass review world here on TH-cam is all a "buzz" about this lately LOL. Thank you for chiming in with your comment Julian, I do appreciate it!!
I had one of those. I didn't like it. I tried to, but I just couldn't. It's too short of scale, and it makes the strings too flubby. The pickups are single coils, not humbucking.
I am a new bassist, and i can’t choose, between the Yamaha tbrx304, the ibanez 200 series and this one. I heard the bassist of Royal Blood plays this bass. It’s in my price range and hearing that an actual rockstar plays it on 100s of gigs made me really intrigued! Do you recommend it for someone who is into rock and metal sounds/ distortion?
Yeah the Royal Blood bassist/singer plays this model but I've also seen him with a Fender short scale bass too. I would recommend this bass for standard tuning rock and drop D tuning. But if you're playing drop tuned metal personally I would look elsewhere. Best of luck on your bass journey✌
@@dean3279I bought the gretsch eventually too and i am so happy with it. It’s been going strong through everything. It’s like a little thunderbird in my opinion
It's 60 cycle hum, those pickups look like humbuckers but are really single coils...and what's more, they're both bridge position pickups so you don't even get the hum cancelling that you would like on a jazz bass when both the neck and bridge pickups are on

I think this short scale bass could work out pretty well for you. I found it very comfortable and easy to play. Thank you for your comment✌
Thanks!

Lowendlobster has a vid where we can get $100 towards gretsch and or fender parts, I guess to make up for lying to us
@@minibikemafia Thanks for the heads up! Would we have had to buy the bass "new" to qualify for this? Got mine used.
@@j.rhodes1025 he did say you need the serial number and proof of purchase. Maybe you can get in touch with who you bought it from?
I had one of those. I didn't like it.

Are you playing through an amp, Di,amp sim?

I traded the Ibanez for this bass and never looked back. Could never get rid Fret buzz on the Ibanez. Very happy now with the Gretsch.

Is it me or is there a buzz when tone knob is high???
