Happy Friday bump!

Happy New Year everyone 🥳🥳🥳

What a great community! All the best Andy and Iris 😊

Beautiful red-stained waxed ash three-piece body with matching red headstock, one-piece maple neck and maple fingerboard. Pickups are Bacchus humbuckers (EMG clones) with Aguilar two-band preamp plus a passive filter, so the combination works like the VTC in Sadowsky basses. Tuners are Gotoh cloverleaf. Lovely to play with low action, crisp tone and 18mm string spacing at the bridge. Weight is 4.5kg (bathroom scales) Bought new from Japan this year and hardly played as the bass I’d been waiting for a long time became available just after. Price is what I paid for it including import duties etc from Japan. Can ship in a generic hard case.

Thank you Paul!

Thanks - I don't know year of build, believe there is no serial number database for Jaydees but maybe the basschat community knows more?

All boxed up and ready to courier, I need the space so please make an offer!!

Gorgeous! What's the weight? 😮

This was a unicorn bass for me, had a go on one when I was 16, fell in love and it took me more than 30 years to track one down! Having lived with it for a few years I've decided to move it on as it's just a little too big and heavy for me. All original as far as I'm aware and great condition for the age - a few scuffs here and there which I've highlighted in the pics, but no major dings and importantly the neck and fingerboard are basically unmarked. I had some work done on it to get it in excellent playing condition. Upper half of the fingerboard was re-profiled and refretted by Matt at Kersey Guitars, and the original pre-amp was serviced by Martin at the Gallery. Weight is 4.9 kg. It doesn't have a case but I have an old flight case I can ship it in if required. Sofa not included but you can sit on it when you come to try the Jaydee 😀

I heard one of these in a huge hotel atrium in the states a couple of years ago. Couldn't believe how fat and space-filling the double bass sounded from such a tiny box 🤩

Happy Friday bump 😁

Thanks for all the love... gone in a shade over 24 hours 😆

Beautiful classic bass in great condition. Bought from Jay-Syncro of this parish last year, superb instrument but my dream bass arrived shortly after so this is not getting much playtime and time to pass it on to someone who will give it the attention it deserves. Here's what Jay wrote: "A lovely 80's made in Japan Ibanez Musican bass complete with a Hiscox flight case. This bass is extremely well built and features neck through construction, 24 fret ebony board, lightweight hardware and active electronics. It plays wonderfully with a recent set of Ernie Ball flats and a med/low action. It sounds great! Bad points are it has some superficial lacquer checking/dings/missing finish etc but nothing out of the ordinary for an instrument that has been used for 40 years or so! Also the bridge pickup seems to have a lower output than the neck for some reason. With the pickup pan pot balanced or favouring the neck you'd never notice it, but mentioning for clarity. I have considered modernising the pickups/preamp but IMO it sounds great as it is. A wonderful instrument." The bass is as above, photos attached show the condition and some zooms on the dings. Weight on my bathroom scales is 4.25kg. Happy to arrange shipping at buyer's cost or arrange a meetup within reasonable range.
