    I placed my order for the GA24 in November 2021, it also has inlays but i don't expect it to be ready until at least June next year at the earliest . It all depends on how busy they are, with Mark King now returning to play Jaydees exclusively, they might be very busy!

    There's a Jaydee Series 3 now on ebay from 1987 (seller is based in USA). If you search "Jaydee Supernatural Series III Bass 1987 Very Nice" I won't post the link as it my conflict with BC's code of conduct. I can't tell if the colour is a faded white or yellow...

    I only actually have a Supernatural Series 3 but on order I had a GA-24 and now obviously the series 3 fretless. After the price hike on Wals & the closing of Status I just want to get a bunch of Jaydee's while the the prices are so reasonable.

    Haha How could you tell?

    Great song and great bass playing! Reminds me of The Cure / Simon Gallup, great job, wish you luck!

    Nothing (IMO) comes close to Yamaha Mk 1 tones but at the price that your hand needs to navigate a considerably wider fretboard.
  11. joe_geezer
    I would advise against modifying any Yamaha Mk 1s. They are so well built and constructed that changing the fingerboard will decrease the value and probably the playability. Just save up for a JP 1 if you want ebony or be happy with a rosewood. All Yamaha MK 1s have fender style string spacing, if you don't like that then you won't like Yamahas, take a look at the Ibanez Prestige series . all made in Japan and have tight string spacing for smaller hands.

    My Advice is get a JP MK 1 34" scale. It was good enough for JP to record on most if not all Chick Corea's albums on GPR label as well as most of his solo albums. I think the 35" is just no good for a 6 string because the tension of the high C string is too taught / tight. Some folk complain about floppy B strings but again, thousands of albums were recorded and are still recorded with 5 strings with a 34" scale and sound great & unless you have Stanley Clarkes hand size then i'd stick to 34 (btw Stanley actually plays a 30" scale bass)

    Another snippet of the Jaydee in actions... sorry about the knee in the video frame
  14. joe_geezer
    Whole heartedly agree! I'm just a horder
  15. joe_geezer
    Whenever I've had 1 bass I seem to play it a lot more and am generally happier with it... now I have 7 basses and hardly play
  16. joe_geezer
    Wow that's light! There was one in the bass gallery last year I had my eye on but it was 10Ibs ... bit to heavy for me
  17. joe_geezer
    Can you update the spec with the weight, thanks
  18. joe_geezer
    Thanks for that
  19. joe_geezer
    I actually agree, Jaydee for sure should charge more, just after i get my Supernatural pearl series 2 ordered
  20. joe_geezer
    I love this bass, especially the red one, prefer it to the new white one. I wonder if Status would stick that bridge on a S2 classic instead of the mono rails?
  21. joe_geezer
    shhhhhhhh

    I did mention this to the mod awhile ago.. I pretty much got the answer to the original question, people are generally positive about Wal and are happy with the situation, I a 2-3 others are the exception.
  23. joe_geezer
    Thanks, that's all i was asking for lol Yea i just think it's a shame that we no longer have an option to purchase one, well most of us don't. But i agree it's 100% their decision to run the company however they want and from a financial position they are making the absolute best choices for their own new Wals and for owners of used Wals.
  24. joe_geezer
    Yep, it's absurd but the used market might now dictate the price of a new Wal. As long as Wal do not create too many basses, that price will increase by at least £375 a year based on the 2010-2020 prices but lately I am seeing used Wals at £8000+ so it's exponentially increasing... basically just forget ever owning a Wal.
  25. joe_geezer
    So your glad you'll never be able to afford a Wal... lovely stuff And if you go back and checkout the Status prices on my previous post you can see that Status manage to create affordable instruments as do all other UK bass companies with Wal being the exception because their basses may be priced based on the current perceived market value not on the actual value.
