Price history
Availability: 9/10 (Common)
A short-scale, semi-hollow bass built to the compact Jet body shape within Gretsch's budget-friendly Streamliner series, fitted with a single humbucking pickup for a warmer, less scooped tone than a solid-body P or J bass.
About the Gretsch Streamliner Jet Club Bass
The Jet Club Bass takes Gretsch's small, chambered Jet body - originally a solid-body electric guitar shape - and adapts it into a semi-hollow short-scale bass, giving it a resonance and midrange character distinct from Fender-style solid-body basses. A single humbucking pickup near the bridge keeps the electronics simple, without the split-coil or dual single-coil layouts more common on Precision or Jazz-style instruments.
As part of the Streamliner line, it is built to a value-focused price point below Gretsch's higher Players Edition and Custom Shop offerings, aimed at guitarists and bassists drawn to the brand's vintage-adjacent aesthetic - f-holes, bound edges, and Gretsch-style hardware - without the cost of the company's professional-tier instruments.

Sound character of the Gretsch Streamliner Jet Club Bass
Adapting Gretsch's chambered, solid-body Jet shape into a semi-hollow short-scale bass gives it more internal air and resonance than a Fender-style slab body, while the single bridge humbucker keeps the sound focused rather than boomy - the short scale adds a touch of looseness and warmth on top of that resonant midrange.
