dan2112 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 When I saw John Mayer live, his guitarist was using a tele version of that bass. Looked very cool [attachment=86436:23715_14...839502_n.jpg] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both sickeningly good guitarists though. On the bass front, possibly not, but they tend to charge through the roof for stuff like this.

Ross Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I like it, simple clean cut bass. I bloody hate all these fancy boutique jobbys, too much going on with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from it's possible collectible value, from a practical point of view, a G&L SB1 or SB2 would wipe the floor with it in every other way....for about a fifth of the price. Depends on whether you want an investment or a bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 What would John Shuker charge to make a replica? Take that from £5000 and thats what your paying for the Decal £3500 ish maybe more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Foxen Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Does look a lot like a 70s catalogue bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Not keen. It doesn't look worth more than £200. Cool idea, probably sounds ace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiOgon Posted August 7, 2011 Author Share Posted August 7, 2011 Where has this £5000 price tag come from? There's a link in the OP shows it at under 3000 euros so £2600ish (in Germany at least). Not everybodies cup of tea then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why Fender put the blocks markers on the Jazz Bass, then it did not matter... I wonder if it comes complete with dead spots.
