joegarcia Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 These are my two main (well, only) basses at the moment out of the four I've ever owned. Late 1970's or early 80's USA made Ovation Magnum IV w/OHSC Two humbuckers, 6 band eq, ebony finger board, graphite reinforcement and an 18v preamp. Sounds incredible, a weighty and cumbersome beast though. 1970's Japanese made Joodee 'Performer' P copy which I fitted with EMG's, bridge and pickup covers and changed the knobs. This was my first ever bass and I still love it to bits. It's been in the wars a bit but still plays and sounds fantastic. Don't know much about it so if anyone knows anything (Bassasin?) let me know. I go through phases of playing one more than the other and at the moment the P is taking preference. Just been on tour for a week with both and didn't play the Ovation once. Weird really as I really love it. Just find the P suits my needs a bit better at the moment. Think it has a lower action presently too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumbo Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Nice basses I've got a Joodee acoustic guitar that's about 25+ years old, it sounds great but I've never found much info on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdwardHimself Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 i ruined an old 1970s japaneese jazz bass copy I reckon that the copies are at least as good as their american counterparts at the time. The sound i get from it is amazing and it's not bad to play either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
