I think she overplays in a couple of places (e.g. 1:42 and 2:27) to the point where she not only loses the pocket but misses the downbeat - the Andrew Gouche effect. That second fill at 2:27 could have been half as long and lost nothing in terms of impact. Also, her left hand keeps shooting up the neck after playing a lower register note only for her to pull it back to hit the next note. I'm not sure why but it's a bit distracting. But her phrasing and note choice for those fills is pretty awesome. Yeah mine (4 at the time of release, now 6) too! lol

OK but I have changed the batteries only once in mine after 12 years of ownership. Not that I play it every week but still...much more than twenty hours in total.

Mine's not noticably thirsty compared to other basses I've owned.

Can you me a logical and fully referenced 2500 word essay on the topic of spambots and their impact on effective digital marketing?

Given the absolute limit is 20Khz...and that decreases with age...it doesn't clarify much unless the bandwidth is huge.

Different thing, you were working on a passive filtering circuit for bass and had given it to a buddy to test. The circuit i drew up was for guitar and yes not only completed it but added a locally sourced switchable mid boost (+25db @500Hz). The first draft of the new diagram is a rats nest but I know how it all works now.

Maybe they will now the hard work has been done for them! :) Generally, the chinese factories wont bother copying anything technically complex, especially if it involves research and development. This is from a chinese entrepreneur i know. How's that passive circuit we discussed coming along?

Using a printed circuit board? Hobbyists don't do that.

Hmmm, dismiss it as you wish if you're cynically inclined. Like I said, best of my recollection. Besides which searching for the post is going to take time away from things that are more important to me.

Someone on the jaydee fb group claimed to know what had happened to it.

A basschatter and jaydee collector owns one of the jaco jazzes as well as a couple of other jaydees

It's known but i cant recall clearly right now. I think the blue one went to charity. The pink one might have been given to a roadie.

he did a custom jazz for me once, it didnt look like the jaco one though

thanks to fifties goldtops being converted

And two thousand quid for fifty quids of material and labour is two thousand quid for fifty quids worth of materials and labour. It's the law of shameless opportunism vs cash rich pensioners.

Ah, maybe there was a typo between the year and the total number in my source then. Ouch.

Just a thought but I wonder if the body on this bass was original? I mean, given how many JE smashed up and all that in the late sixties... Also, I thought there were 66 rather than 25 made...?

Very little came from his EQ. He used the EQ like a ersatz crossover between both the MkV heads on the Live at Wembly DVD. Most of his tone came from finger strength over the bridge pickup, the dominance of mahogany in the Jaydee and the Trace 4x10's. The Mk V amps were pretty flat sounding - something that changed with the Series 6 that followed. His 0002SA and 0003 basses were fairly mid-growly in comparison to the other instruments he used.

If I had the space, I would be reacquainting myself with a full electronic kit but needs must with the drum machine. It's also hard to punch in when I'm also playing.

It's possible yes. I started with Cubase back in the 90's and that was fine for both MIDI and audio, then I moved to Pro Tools and it was a PITA for MIDI. Currently waiting in the wings are Audacity and good ol' workhorse Ableton but it seems like a number of PC based DAWs have limitations of one sort or another. Which is yet another tick in the column for hardware based solutions.

I use mine for graphics, music, website administration, movie watching, music practice and teaching preparation. And I don't have the collection of rack hardware with me at the moment but when I do, I'll need to set all the MIDI connections and patches up within the DAW in order to access them via a keyboard or MIDI bass or whatever. So, like you, I tend to see the PC as a job for recording the bones of a piece once the framework is done rather than something for trying out ideas for a framework as they happen. But unlike you I don't have the experience or skill to form songs in my head. I need to externalise it first.

Mainly so I don't have to use a computer. The setting up to record saps my creativity and I'm firmly opposed to designed obsolescence. This is after having spaffed hundreds of quid on otherwise perfectly functional NI kit that became obsolete after 7 years simply because drivers no longer being supported. I want dedicated kit that I can turn on and muck about with ideas on without wasting time.

Looks like I'm going to join that club, then...!

I expect Morgan Roussel probably owns it.

I'm mulling over a drum machine purchase later this year. I'm looking for something that allows beats ahead and behind the tempo for that human factor...does such a drum machine exist?
