Looking forward to seeing them!!

No problem! We both thought it was important to show the full range of the basses, with different articulation/technique etc...

Having seen Jones Basses up close, I can genuinely vouch for the build quality and craftsmanship. I recorded the audio samples featured on the Jones Bass website , so I’ve had the opportunity to closely hear and play these instruments. Mark is clearly passionate about what he does and committed to producing instruments that play well, with the great filter preamp sound. I also interviewed him on my podcast, where we talked about how Jones Bass started and his approach to building basses – you can check it out HERE.

Please keep us updated!!

Yes, this is Mick Mason, sat next to his partner who is the singer in the Carpenters Tribute. He also plays pretty regularly with a Queen tribute, although by all accounts he's finding it difficult to find musicians to play with him, or sound/lighting crew. Probably because he has a huge reputation for not paying them!

I'm the bass player in Chic to Chic. I'm afraid everything in the above statement is true - he took deposits from us with a view to booking gigs in theatres and using the cash as down payments. The venues had no idea about the gigs and he's refusing to pay the money back. If you are in a tribute band, and are approached by Mick Mason to work with/for him in any capacity. STAY WELL CLEAR. We have to stick together as musicians to overcome people like this, so spread the word as wide as possible about this man and his fraudulent activities. Even if we only stop a few people getting ripped off, that's a chunk of money that he hasn't been able to steal. If you are in a tribute band, and had problems with Mick Mason, please send me a message. Either through here or via www.chictochic.co.uk Aidan Hampson
