These basses speak for themselves all the classic JAYDEE tones and the added punch of a middle pickup, sounds something like a Kent Smith when switched in. The bass is an early 80s..1983 a great period for these basses, it has been giged some scratches to the side and rear of the body...May exchange for a nice MM Stingray 4, Gary Wilis ibanez, Vigieur etc..price is cheap £795..The bass has also been re -fretted recently and restrung with Rotosounds too..
