    JAY DEE Supernatural

    in Bass Guitars

    Posted · Edited by dr1

    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?

    So who on here has a Telebass?

    a heavy piece of ash,slab body. one piece maple neck,one saddle for each string and bartolinis.

    USA Fender Jazz Bass (PRICE DROPPED !!!)

A couple of months back it would have been more like £875 so in UK pricing the currency change will have put over 30% on the price :)[/quote]


    wow! cheers for the info! i was wondering - what's wrong here...
    OK.
    well, then - the price is 850 pounds for ya dear fellow UK folks!

    Paul Jackson (Headhunters) custom bass PRICE DROPPED

    in Basses For Sale

    Dont get any crazy ideas - you wont be haunted from the big man himself, this bass is all mine but it's been made with his custom bass in mind.
    It's ash body (selected swamp ash, 10 years old) neck is hard figured maple, Pick ups are Bartolini humbuckers and Schaller tuners. Strings through body.
    Luthier is from Macedonia, 35 years of experience, lets just say he made few guitars for Steve Vai.

    Price I am asking is 800 euros (small price for unique bass,not counting Paul's bass here) and you'll have it in 24 hours via DHL.

    hi everyone, it was awhile since last time I've been around.
    I got USA Fender Jazz Bass 5oth Ann (1996) 5 stringer for sale.
    Bass is great, and I am sorry to sell it, but it has to go - don't ask, it hurts!

    it's one of those - selected materials, buildt to last, with great feel - you'll love the neck! sound is, well, noone really needs to learn about Fender jazz sound, but it really blows my mind everytime I hear it.

    set up is also excellent. DR strings.

    I'd send it with Warwick rock bag, still - if you insist on Gator case (in the pic) I need to ask 50 euros more. Price is 800 euros and that includes DHL shipping. Simon from Stuart Zender Forum dealed with me and I'm sure Higgie can add few nice words too haha!

    well, nuff said I guess. Photos were taken from mobile phone, so I apologize for quality of them.

    Cheers people and MXmass!

    [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.

    Probably the nicest bass I have played

    you'd need squier telebass aswell,that would be complete VM set.

    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.
