bassically anything that looks good, ive got a jazz bass which i love, and i do like trraditional body shapes although my favourite body shapes are the originial custom body shapes like the alembic mark king and the jaydee series 1...

[quote name='Rayman' post='273112' date='Aug 30 2008, 01:01 PM']I [i]love[/i] the early Level 42 stuff, and have been a fan since the start, but strangely, I'd never gotten around to seeing them live until a couple of years ago at the King Georges Hall in Blackburn. It was truely awful, I was very dissapointed indeed. I think the venue was to blame to be fair, it was a sh*t view, with a stage about 6 foot high. I was on the front row and couldn't see a bloody thing as we were all sat down. The sound was terrible too, and I ended up moving from the front, to the circle upstairs (the place was half empty). The sound was better up there but not great. The band just looked out of sorts to me, and MK seemed to be just going through the motions. There's two basses I've always wanted, a Wal and a Jaydee Mark King, don't s'pose I'll ever have either, but I still dream about slapping away on a Jaydee in front of my Trace Elliot pretending to be MK. New album? Nah, I haven't bought a Level 42 album since World Machine.[/quote] you can use my jaydee, and stand infront of your trace elliot and pretent to be mark king, as long as i get a go too

[quote name='crez5150' post='277459' date='Sep 4 2008, 11:36 PM']I had a MK jaydee for a few years.... great bass.... very long..... Electronics were not great though.... I generally hate headed basses.... do love Jaydee's and Alembic's though[/quote] 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
