Actually, Jaydee altered the pickups in 2000, hence the current models' spec showing them as SN2000. I believe they doubled the number of windings(might be exaggerating a bit) which gives the basses more output and punch. I had a mental count-up and have owned a staggering nine Jaydees since 1984, unfortunately all long gone, including two I had built to my spec(all MK shape though). My favourite in terms of looks and playability was a Mark King series 1, the first and largest of the Supernaturals that John Diggins designed and built. I gigged a series 2 some years ago in a rock covers band and it was brilliant and I never had neck issues with any of the ones I owned. I used to call in to see John and Andy if ever I was passing and it was always fascinating to see what being built or in the spray booth, invariably there was a Tony Iomni SG guitar in the making. John used to carry out repairs on all different makes of guitars and basses and I spotted a Status embossed Hiscox case one day. I mentioned it and John said "oh we work on any old stinky poo here." (Mark King was playing Kingbasses by now!) The thing about Jaydees is that they are eye sweet and the name 'Supernatural' is very cool and evocative.

Bought a pair of cabs from Stuart. They were better than advertised, really well packed and I am delighted. Buy with confidence.

I have just sold an amp and cab to Mike for serious money and, despite a minor issue on arrival, it all turned out fine and he was happy with the outcome. I have to say that Mike was a pleasure to deal with and very amenable when it came to sorting out an issue that arose. I have no hesitation in recommending him, in this case as a buyer.
