Iuean bought a Hercules guitar stand from me.
Transaction couldn't have gone any smoother. He transfered the cash straight into my account
minutes after I had emailed him my details. Great bloke to deal with. Cheers.

Hi
Up for sale is a lovely 1992 Fender USA Jazz Longhorn. This has the extra couple of frets and an extended upper horn. The neck has a rosewood fretboard and is a joy to play and the sound is what you'd expect from a USA jazz. All the tones are there. Just fab.
In a previous life it has had a ding on the top of the upper horn and been cleaned up.This is not visible from the front. See my crappy picture.

It comes with the original Fender hard case with case candy. Still solid but showing a few rust spots on the locks.

£600

Would prefer to meet up with buyer but willing to post for £25.

May be interested in a trade for a Fender USA Precision.

Hi Sunfish.
Wow I've only just found out this week that these are quite rare. Long horn and an 8 hole scratchplate.
I thought that all jazz basses had the same body shape until I posted pics of mine on Facebook under the Jaydee page.
Doctor of the bass pointed it out. I wondered why I had difficulty obtaining a tort scratchplate for it a few years ago.
I have the exact same bass in black 1994. You must be mad selling it. I would never part with mine it's the dogs danglies.
Anyway if you must part with it.... GOOD Luck with the sale I don't think it will be hanging around for too long.

Yes. Don't switch the switch whilst frying bacon or other products...! Much love x

1 to 6 and image 10 I have had to pinch off Google or Basschat.
Some of these might have been your basses ???

Whilst I have your attention on the Jaydee. Do any of you Jaydee owners have the problem of
when the active switch is on you hear a crackling noise similar to bacon frying.?
If so what is it and can it be cured? It seems to improve when you back off the hi eq control.

It may be corrosion inside the switch...If that is true, then the switch either needs to be cleaned or replaced...

Ian!!! Always good to see ya Mate!

Thanks Jaymi.
I think you could be right. It hasn't seen much use over the years so that could be the problem.
Cheers.
Ian.

Hi Jaymi. How you doin'.?
Yes the very same and yes she is awesome. Not a mark on her. Can't believe It's 26 or more years old
Looks like it was made last week.I'm frightened to take it on gigs in case it gets dinged.
Gonna have to send it to John and have the pickup selector switch sorted. When you rotate it to the on position
Sometimes it comes on and sometimes it doesn't. You have to quickly turn it off then on again to get it to work.
Oh and when in active mode it sounds like sombody is frying food. Do any of yours have or have had this problem??
Cheers.
Ian.

Have any other Jaydee owners had the above problem ???

Pics would be helpfull

Bump for a GORGEOUS bass..........

Cheers for the heads up John.

Hi John.
Where did you get that RED Status strap from? I couldn't see one on the Status website. Only Gold.....??
It's the one Mark King uses isn't it?
Cheers Ian.

Is this sold then?

I'm having the same problem. Searched the net for an 8 hole pickguard but no joy.
I bought a tort 8 hole off e bay some time ago but I think I was just lucky.
Don't want to shell out a load of dosh to have one made. I want a red one.

WOW. That is gorgeous. Wouldn't guess this is 12 years old. Just out of interest, What is the string spacing at the nut?
Cheers.

Times is ard mate. No cash around. Nice axe tho good luck with the sale.

Martin Sims of Sims custom led's make scratch plates. If you send him a trace of your existing one he will copy it
Just make sure how many holes there are as some are ten and some are eight or even nine like my USA Jazz 9 holes.

Here's the link to Sims custom website. Just had a look at the price for a Mint Green Plate £48

I'm sure I read somewhere that Mark King played one on early recordings of LFT stuff.
He said that the one he used had a loose pickup and every time he leant forward it stuck to the strings so he had to sit
down and play it leaning backwards.
Has any one else read this ??

And BUMP!!!

I would , sadly , have to agree with BRX on this one , although I would go one album later with my definition of Bowies golden era to Lets Dance . I really , really want to like this record , and it's pretty good for what it is , but David Bowie is a uniquely talented who and can do much better than this . I will reserve final judgement until I have heard the album , but if this is the first single then it doesn't neccesarilly auger well for a return to form for the great man . Such a shame if that is so , because he certainly has a great album left in him .

Heard it on the radio today. Very boring and very average IMO. Lets be honest if Somebody other than Bowie had released this track it wouldn't have been given airplay.

There's a *reissue* on eBay at the moment that's fetching more than this - and it still has a day to go.

This seems to be the same one on Ebay only It's up for £699. Same pics as on Ebay.

Sticking to the standard nut. Thanks
