So, having gotten used to my Taylor GS Mini-e bass, in fact I am unable to put it down as it is more addictive than crack, I have come to realise that the vast majority of my bass playing woes over several years stem from my small hands vs. full scale bass necks. So I’ve decided to sell up all my full sized basses (Godin A4 and my new Aerodyne that’s barely a month old) and stick exclusively to short scale. I’ve been looking at a Gretsch G2220 but as I am a novice in the world of short scale basses I thought I better see if anyone has any recommendations or ideas. I have the Taylor and I’ll be getting a second as a back up but I want a short scale electric bass and as it will be my only EB I’d like as good quality as I can get...
Whaddya think?

Doubtless budget will be the main concern.

Surprisingly given the small difference, the Rick scale is *perfect* for me, to the point where I've simply lost interest in all other basses really. They aren't cheap, but you only need one!

Who used a Ric....
The Gretsch has the Royal Blood connection although I think he's moved on now.
Usually there is a reasonable showing from Ibanez, Fender and Gretsch at the Birmingham guitar show so I'm reserving my bass GAS for that or after that now.
