oh yes very long, what body shape did you have? electronics not great why???

i know what you mean mate, well i love the mark king/series body shape but im not keen on the sound i guess that wy the jaydee is my number one fave...

intersting that the stanley basses, look similar to the kingbass, you know symmetrical body n that???

cool....do people have to pay postage?

i do quite a bit on my jazz...

spesh whn recreating a fretless sound, in which case i back the tone right off

[quote name='themoo' post='276568' date='Sep 3 2008, 10:03 PM']Thanks buddy... I am totally in love with it!!

John is sending me some hi res pics he did before sending it out. He's putting them on his site too![/quote]


i can see why your in love with it, absolutely stunning instrument...

ohh....them pics should be amazing mate , be sure to post them


thanks

marcus

Jaydee all the way, i think its the perfect slap bass...the alembic is weird it sounds great on its own but seems to get lost in a band situation, also it seems to sound better played fingerstyle.

just my opinion though...both beautiful instruments!




marcus

nice alembic moo...love that new jaydee of yours too!

too much lol, and i thought that just having three basses and two pedals, not even an amp was too much...lol

that starchild is beautiful, it has taken this long for me to post as i havent stopped drooling enough lol,


i love jaydees, cant be beat imho


more pics


marcus

how much gear have you actually got now nick...?

would love to see a full list

it does play really nice, i cant wait to get a set of flats for it, then itll sound exactly like macca ...

'your pupils' so you teach???

[quote name='budget bassist' post='275874' date='Sep 2 2008, 10:47 PM']Thanks man t'is very nice, love the finish on the jaydee. Not a huge fan of the hofner style violin style basses but the flame top on that one makes it look pretty classy[/quote]


its cherry red mate, but you can see the lovely wood grain through it , it is darker than the usual cherry jaydees that i have seen about, and about the violin bass well its a bit of a one trick pony plays beatles tunes perfectly ...and the flame looks nice ...

nice very nice...
i love them musicmans...
some very very nice gear on here
what do you guys think to this???




ive had it a few years now and its the best bass ive ever played ...

and with the others:



still need a rig though, i only play through a zoom 506 2 pedal with headphones atm ...

so if anyone feels like donating to the poor

thanks
