Ive often looked at that very bass and marvelled at it! Do the pickups any different from the standard wooden covered ones?

Great Story!

Well, it's been awhile since my original post on ordering a Jaydee but the great news is I have some progress pics. John got back to me with this recently with this pic which he explained was just awaiting preparation to be sprayed.

Thanks guys for all the replies, good and bad! For those complaining about quality issues with necks and finishes, this seems to only effect the 80s-90s basses that were caused by over demand and John not being able to scale fast enough to meet demand which in turn effected quality. Also in terms of the weight issue... it's not an issue at all as you can request any weight you like for John to target, mines going to be in between the 8-9lbs range. Again thanks for all your feed back, and id love to hear even more!

Hey fellow bassists, I have just ordered an amazing Jaydee bass from John Diggins. So i'd love to hear from any Jaydee owners there thoughts, opinions and pics (please!). Do you gig regularly with your Jaydee? What styles do you use it for? Can you resist slapping it as soon as you pick it up..? lol thanks in advance, joe

what is the weight? And can you list all the dings / scratches etc.

Blade manufactured their instruments in Switzerland, Japan and then later Korea. Where was your bass made? thanks

Nice! Alder is my preferred wood even though i have a bad shoulder and back lol

Where the paint has chipped off, if you slightly press with your thumb nail and it feels soft then it's probably Basswood. Basswood is a very soft wood and also its lighter in color, like ash almost. Alder is normally a richer red color, slightly darker. Also you will have more neck dive with a basswood body as it's a very light wood but on the flip side if you have a bad shoulder or back then this will be a lighter bass to play when standing up.

Hi, nice lloking bass Is the body wood alder of basswood?

Hey there, just a quick vid on how i practise funk... Might help anyone stuck in a rut or just having a different approach as an option. Im by no means a pro, just trying to hang in there [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCmMTEpkd48"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCmMTEpkd48[/url]
