That Gretsch 2202 has an excellent pickups - it's a TV Jones design. It's very hot and sounds great. That's a good price for a clean one. They're 30" scale and balance nicely. BIG bass ound from a small bass, and the workmanship is nice. This model is twice the bass that a Squier Bronco or Epi EB-0 is.
I was playing the 1222 (2-pickup, 34") version for three hours at a practice this afternoon.
In fact, I have that pickup in my Bronco. Makes it a great bass.
