    [quote name='obbm' post='492112' date='May 19 2009, 09:00 AM']I've recently been considering a 5-string Jazz again with a 34" scale so this is very attractive, and so near to home. Three important questions are string spacing at the nut, width of the nut and how deep is the neck?[/quote] I've just done some measuring (albeit with just a regular plastic ruler so it may not be 100% accurate) but it seems these are the dimentions: Nut width - 48mm String spacing at the nut (measured from the middle of a string to the middle of the next string) - 10mm Depth of neck - roughly 20mm at nut to 25mm at neck/body joint These are just a rough guide though. It would be best to try the bass. I would say that the neck is a 'fast' one. Not very deep and very easy to get around. The whole instrument is a sleek, modern take on a Jazz bass. Thanks for looking!

    [quote name='rodney72a' post='490328' date='May 17 2009, 03:32 AM']What's the weight?[/quote] Hi there, I'm not sure what the weight is, I don't have any scales at the moment. But I'd say it's a medium weight Jazz. Perfectly manageable. Thanks for looking. Let me know if you'd like to try the bass. Ian

    [quote name='Crazykiwi' post='385232' date='Jan 19 2009, 07:26 PM']I agree! All the players for JTQ have been monsters, Andrew, Gary and Ian King. Ian was a member here for a short time until he had a negative expereince via PM in regard to a bass he was trying to sell. [/quote] Eh??!.. Nope, I'm still here! Ha ha..

    [quote name='Merton' post='255116' date='Aug 5 2008, 09:58 AM']Welcome! Didn't even realsie Gary Crockett had left JTQ... Do you cross paths with Phil Mulford much?[/quote] Hello there.. Yes I see Phil every so often, I work at the top of Drury Lane at Hairspray and he works at the bottom of Drury lane on Dirty Dancing so we bump into each other quite a bit and occasionally grab a bite to eat in between shows on a matinee day and talk bass... or should that be bass chat??

    [quote name='Crazykiwi' post='255113' date='Aug 5 2008, 09:57 AM']Yeah, I haven't met him yet but it seems like we might have a few acquaintences in common. He's a superb player - some really funky solos! I went to see JTQ at the Hammersmith Palais a few years back. I think Gary Crockett was playing for him then though. Whats James like to work with? I'm guessing the JTQ bass lines are fairly demanding physically? Did you learn them by reading or by ear?[/quote] James is fine to work with.. On my first gig I'd had no rehearsal or even a sound check so was pretty much thrown in at the deep end.. But James is very clear with his cues and has been dead friendly to me... You're right, the bass lines are pretty fast and furious on a lot of the songs, but great fun to play.. Learning the tunes I did a bit of both, I listened through to a few recordings but also Andy had written me out some basic charts with example bass lines and the structure outlined, so that really helped..

    [quote name='doctor_of_the_bass' post='255018' date='Aug 5 2008, 02:11 AM']Nice to see you here! Did you play for Greg Lawrence many years ago? Nick (ex One Eyed Cats)[/quote] Hello!... Thanks for the message... And yes I played for Greg Lawrence for a fair few years there.. His function band was one of the first things I did after leaving university... I met some great players playing for the big man..

    [quote name='Crazykiwi' post='255054' date='Aug 5 2008, 08:27 AM']Wow! A real professional! Welcome sir! Are you sharing the JTQ bass chair with Andrew Mck then?[/quote] Hi there, thanks for the message.. I'm not sharing the JTQ bass chair with Andy, I've just been depping for him on a few gigs whilst he's been busy with other things.. Andy comes in to Hairspray and covers for me when I want a night off too.. We're pretty much the same age and are very similar players so we end up throwing a fair amount of work each others way.. Top geezer is Andy...

    [quote name='walbassist' post='254631' date='Aug 4 2008, 04:28 PM']That's very nice. Do you mean he removed the Sei logo and re-badged it? If so that's a bit naughty! Cheers Gareth[/quote] Well, he was re-lacquering the neck so I guess he had to.. Also, Chris McIntyre was the main luthier at The Gallery for a number of years and would have made this bass when he worked there.. So I just went with the re-badge y'know..

    Hello there. I'm new to Bass Chat so I just thought I'd introduce myself and say hi. I'm a professional bass player living in Guildford. I'm currently the bass player in the west end show [i]Hairspray[/i]. Previous shows I have played in include [i]Fame[/i], [i]Daddy Cool[/i], [i]Never Forget[/i] and [i]Dancing in the streets[/i]. I've also depped in [i]Mamma Mia[/i] and [i]Billy Elliot[/i]. Recently I've been gigging with [i]The James Taylor Quartet[/i] and [i]Sister Sledge[/i] as well as [i]Winston Rollins' band Real[/i] featuring members of [i]Jamiroquai[/i]. I'm occasionally lucky enough to get the odd session in but generally the majority of my work is live. I use [i]Overwater[/i], [i]McIntyre[/i] and [i]Sei basses[/i], [i]Epifani Amplification[/i] and [i]EBS[/i] and [i]Boss pedals[/i].
