Just checked out the Status website, are they back to - business as usual? Can't see any notices that regular orders are on hold?
-
Haha thank you, I feel the same way when i see other bassists... i just remember that i own these expensive instruments for my own reasons... when i was a full time musician many years ago my only bass was a second hand yamaha trb that cost £200 on ebay... now I am working in a 'proper' job i own a few expensive instruments that hardly get played.

I really like the classic Zoot body shape but on the front page of Zoot's websites, their is a fretless with quite deeply shaped contours. I prefer the original less shaped version, does Mike still make that shape?
-
Yes, thank you. It's really great to hear what other settings Jaydee owner's are using as i wasn't sure how much too boost the eq. My strings are 100-40, i know a lot of Jaydee players use 30-90..
-
I love this bass! I have had my eye on Zoot for a long time.... maybe i should give Mike a call
-
Another solo on the Jaydee, really does a great darker Jazz solo tone... I just put some new strings on, everything is turned up to 10 except the tone control is rolled right off and treble is at 40%

Here's a demo of the bass in action

Yep, i used to be a full time musician, played with a £200 bass, now i have retired from music and changed careers I own some very nice instruments...
-
I bet you are a great bassist! Thanks for your settings. I have been trying to cut the mid and boost the bass and treble a bit but like you say, he always has that mid growl on hand when he switches to finger style - so that makes sense (otherwise if the mids were scooped for slap then when he switches finger style he won't get that middle growl). BTW do you currently own any Jaydees?
-
yea i played a 4 string in Tin pan ally a few years ago, i still remember that lovely mid growl from the back pickup -
Jaydee bass owners: Can you let me know what your Mark King slap settings are? Especially how to set the EQ and tone - I wonder how much of the tone was coming from his Trace EQ which was scooped?
-
That's gorgeous, anyone know where this bass is now?
-
I'm in Tooting Mike but i'm prepared to travel within the London area -
I can confirm the magnets are towards the bridge side on both pickups.
-
Amazing price for this top of the range model!

Hi! SOLD Original Yamaha TRB Mark 1 4 string bass in great condition, lovely example! Excellent weight and balance. Hardly used, check out the pick ups to see there is practically no where and tear. Might have a few small dings but difficult to see with the natural wood body type. Originally imported from USA, after duties and import tax was over £800 but selling for £700, i'll take the flack on that.

Hi! I'm selling a Yamaha TRB 5 string Mk 1 version, plays great, has one small mark by the back pickup (see pic) but apart from that is mint. Excellent weight, not heavy at all, plays like a dream, super low action. Is the famous Mark 1 version, so made in Japan. Selling for £850 as that it was i paid for it on ebay in 2021 (see pic of the ebay receipt). London pick up preferred.

Someone needs to get a rough idea of how much he wants...

Beautiful Bass! I wonder if John would make this model again today....
-
Never really rated her myself but she's certainly on the London session / depping scene
