[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 marcus

[quote name='doctor_of_the_bass' post='271433' date='Aug 27 2008, 11:43 PM']Allo! 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! N (am on a theatre show all week, hence lack of postages!)[/quote] yes upload nick please marcus

[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
