FlatEric Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I keep meaning to put this in here, as it is a stunning piece of John's early work. It has appeared in Basschat before but not here, in the Jaydee section. The player is Richard "Fez" Ferriday, with the band Cryer. Very nice. Cheers.

[/quote] I played in a band in the 80's with a guitarist who had a JD Flying V, there was an explorer too I believe... This is the only pic I can find, and you cant see the headstock, but it's definitely a JD, this would be 1980 or thereabouts, in Tamworth.

[/quote] Not really, a lot of John's early output was guitars. I have seen JD versions of strats, teles, Les Pauls, firebirds, explorers, 335s, flying Vs (inc. a 12-string), SGs, even large-body jazzers, as well as his own Hooligan line of guitars. The guitars are really good value on the second hand market since they are high quality builds, using quality materials and don't seem to fetch much money since most of the interest is in his basses. That said, I believe much, maybe most of John's output these days relates to SG variants (Iommi Old Boy copies). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John was given an open commission through his US distributor (Aspen Pittman) to build Jaco a bass as a result of him trying the Mark King seen in the above video. I think the distributor was involved in setting up the demonstration. John was in the process of building 6 (or up to 6) '62 jazz copies when he learned that Jaco had died. There were 3 fretted and 3 fretless. If you scroll back through this thread (page 8) there is a picture of one of the fretless ones. Other than the frets, they were all identical: black painted bodies, ebony boards, unlined in the case of the fretless basses, black hardware (bridge, machineheads, knobs, etc.), active EMG pick-ups, and passive controls (V/V/T). It's not clear if all 6 basses were finished (though I suspect they were). After Jaco died, the finished basses were sold through various guitar shops (such as the Bass Centre). Interestingly, Jaco was offered a sunburst fretless jazz bass to play during that BIT demonstration that belonged to someone in the audience. Jaco declined and said he wanted to play something different and was either given or chose the Jaydee off the wall. It wasn't his instrument and he returned it after the show. I think that particular bass is currently owned by a pro musician, Mark Manley, in the USA. Edited October 1, 2012 by GeeCee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
