The Series I was the original `big' bodied bass - as David as posted, it was just over 15in wide. The Series II models were similar in body length but narrower - the top cutaway being much smaller than the Series I model, and the front pickup was moved further away from the neck in order to accomodate the `funk groove' - cut out to enable easier pulling of the strings! The Series III was actually a scaled-down Series I but again, the pickup placement was such that there was a gap between the end of the neck and the front p/up- I do have a pic somewhere of my old MK bass, a Series II and a III together - may have to email it to one of you guys for uploadage!

Cheers!

[quote name='Rayman' post='271925' date='Aug 28 2008, 05:43 PM']I've loved almost everything Jay Kay has produced, Stuarts' stuff on the early albums is of course outstanding, but to be honest, I've liked every album since he left. Dynamite is a top album for instance.

Anyone else looking forward to the Warwick Zender sig bass coming out in the next year or two?[/quote]


cant wait to see that sig warwick, wonder which itll be, the white one?, the chrome one, on the triangle one???



i love the early stuff best, but i really like synkronized too, and the rest...

hopefully theyll put sum new stuff out soon, and tour again

[quote name='joe_bass' post='271840' date='Aug 28 2008, 03:23 PM']Think we might start off a coughing fit here

Yep all lies in Google mate.


If you didn't know my avatar is a pic of Zender using his interesting Streamer, you should be able to find quite a few pics of this too.[/quote]


all right guys thanks for your help, ive just recently got back into jamiroquai big time...

i love the first three albums best...zender is good


thanks again

marcus

anyone got any pics from the jamiroquai days, or any photos of equipment? or info???


any would be much appreciated


thanks

marcus

what id have:

1. a jaydee roadie2 active with the series 2 body shape, planet or star inlays, bound neck, nut with ballbearing, mahogany body...with a nice top e.q.quilted maple with a cherry red paint over the top, omg that bass would be cool

or.

2.a replica of mark kings first series1

or

3. a replica of mark kings pearl pink series 1


or


or

or, so many options

lol

[quote name='6stringbassist' post='267482' date='Aug 22 2008, 12:04 AM']I'm not too sure, if I went for a Roadie it would be like this photo, but with a headstock like yours, and planet inlays.

I'm very tempted to just go for the Mark King bass, a series 1 style neck with binding and planets inlays but with a series 3 body size, that'd be the best all round choice I think.

I'm 6 foot tall but really skinny, and look a bit silly with a big bass.

Looking at the photos they're very cool looking instruments.

But there's almost a £1000 difference between the two options.[/quote]


nice options there mate,

remember you could have anything you want, even a roadie in a series 3 body shape, with the neck pickup shoved forwards like on the series 1, and like you said the inlays, binding e.t.c.???

thanks mate,


very nice graphite neck???

thanks for posting


haha:about the toenails

thanks mate, glad to help

just wondering what would the specs be on the roadie if you ordered one???

alembic are considered to be one of the best basses in the business, im curious as to why there are hardly any pics or info on the site????


lets start here...


marcus

oh right fair enough mate,


could you post some pics of the alembic pleeeeeeeeeeeeese , would love to see it

thanks

marcus

lovely basses there,

why did you sell yours mate, if you dont mind me asking???

marcus

p.s.have you still got that alembic??

thanks

with her smalller but older sister...




















thanks

marcus

as promised here are some piccies, of my jaydee the roadie and my dads jaydee the series 1 (what a bass)...

sorry about if they are the wrong way up i uploaded them onto photobucket and they take so bloody long to rotate lol,


hope you like what you see


the body



pickups, controls e.t.c.



head



the nut, with the ball bearing thingy lol



back of the head...



i just love the back of this jaydee...









more to come...

umm, my dad has the series 1 in cherry red with dot inlays, and i have a roadie series 2 in cherry ,

both lovely basses both is sound and construction, however there are sound differences, possibly due to the poistioning of the pickups??, but on the series 1 you can get a wider range of sounds ranging more mellower than the roadie and the sharper, if its the authentic early mark king sound your after you should definately go for the series 1, however if your concerned about body sizes check a few out first, including all the series instruments 1, 2, 3, and 4


hpoe this helps buddy ill get some photos of the pair up later...

marcus

right then peeps, im the first to start this pangborn thread as i thought they were, a bit left out lol...
