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... i hardly know anything about these basses so please people send in masses of pics and info, come on nick get posting! cant wait to see some great basses marcus

thanks buddy, like yours too <<<

nice on emate, get some pics up umm...ebay should have some??? hope this helps marcus btw has anyone got a badass2 they want rid of???

dont worry ill save this thread i love jaydees.... calibas a few jaydees a few more, you can see nick's old ex mark king series 1 here.... ga green an early s2 mark kings remaining jaydees supersession (note the oval pickups) and lack of fret markers keep em comin peeps marcus

thanks buddy i like your basses too, spesh the musicman ive always liked them being a louis johnson, flea, mark king fan , marcus

might have changed my mind on this a little, ive took the scratchplate off, and left the neck pickup cover on to disguise the hold around the pickup, plus it looks like a mix between marcus and jaco (marco which used to be my nickname lol).... and i might fit a badass 2, any ideas opinions here are the piccies : and me looking a geek thanks marcus
