yup, I think I figured that out... although 1st two position doesnt work. but bro, the thing sounds like the milion bucks!

hey folks! I ve got my lucky fingers onto this rare beast! I never had a Jay Dee (here when I'm comin from, not many of them even heard of JDee ) but I know that previous owner went to UK back in 1986 to buy it. It's Jay Dee supernatural, probably made in in begining of 80s and it sounds like one of greatest basses of all time! few dings and minor scratches but when you know its date, the bass is super conditioned. also, frets needs some treatment but nothing to worry about! my fingers aint sliced! it has 18V preamp,passive/active switch and beautifull EQ! the body is obviously mahagony, but I 'm not complaining on the weight - I lifted some serious weights over the last decades! as for the sound contribution, you probably know that mahagony has the great sound and sustain. and yes...if someone knows where is the pick ups balance control? could it be the switch or what?

I'd def.consider classic vibe series from Squier. (I will buy all 3 of them actually heh!)

outboard. esp. if you have nice instrument, it will lower his selling price if you mess with original,say, vintage fender.

heres mine. buildt after paul jackson's tele bass. no neck mudbucker tho ( so some of you wouldnt register it as telebass haha) a heavy piece of ash,slab body. one piece maple neck,one saddle for each string and bartolinis. great sound. here's sound/video clip of the bass and meself playing it: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGvi6uy5zZA&feature=channel_page"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGvi6uy5zZA...re=channel_page[/url]

like someone said, natt watts endorses them. or just plays one... so does p.turner from jamiroquai. as for having one, yea, get in line for order - you can expect yours in some 9 months!

Shmoke and a pancake? [/quote] very much true, sir!

theres no better bass IMO, I am completely sold out on them! ( not that I dont like jazzes and others too! ) why? because they sounds, feels and looks RIGHT!

isnt that pearl (instead peral) ? nevermind,that's a CRAZY price.

[quote name='budget bassist' post='169355' date='Apr 3 2008, 07:25 PM']Sweet, i'd rather like one of those SX jazzes with the flame tops and gold hardware, a guy on here said it didn't sound fantastic but i'm sure if i slapped some SD basslines or barts or something in it it would have a bit more thump [/quote] they feels and sounds OK ( especially with new pups and strings ) but they are USUALLY ( saying "usually" to stop some angry perfect SX owner from ambush me ) constructed badly with lousy hardware, so in the end, you have to change EVERYTHING and to adjust that neck every couple of weeks in order to have decent bass. and you better keep it,as you'll never get money you invested back once you want to sell it.

however, you should hear the difference with better pick up.

[quote name='bigjohn' post='164805' date='Mar 27 2008, 10:15 PM']That is quite a surprise. I knew they were good - but not that good. Is it Korean?[/quote] Made in Indonesia!!!

I am with you, Linus27. maybe that's not the BEST bass I ever had, but certainly one of top three favourites. I upgraded it with Nordstrand pups and it became a stunner! It's a bass I got most compliments after gigs,ever - that's for sure! It's a KEEPER - I don't need to say more than that.
