Did the settings get you closer to the sound you were looking for? Yes, thank you. It's really great to hear what other settings Jaydee owner's are using as i wasn't sure how much too boost the eq. My strings are 100-40, i know a lot of Jaydee players use 30-90.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe_geezer Posted March 6, 2023 Author Share Posted March 6, 2023 Jaydee on Reverb - Was this the same bass that was recently for sale on ebay for half the price? https://reverb.com/uk/item/66432109-jaydee-roadie-supernatural-1982 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just messaged him on Reverb and he says he bought it from a friend. Was a bit of a coincidence & yea the colour must have been different.

I don't think this is the first time that he has done this. There was another Jaydee Roadie I fretless bass that was for sale last year and then he put it up on Reverb again at 2 or 3 times the original sale price. Oh well, capitalism at its best.

joe_geezer Posted March 9, 2023 Author Share Posted March 9, 2023 Another jazz tune improv on the Jaydee, this time i set the bass on 70%, Mid on 100%, Treble on 5% , Tone rolled right off and back pick up selected... only thing with this setting is the bass is quite a bit quieter, probably would need a volume boost pedal if i was going to switch to this setting and then switch to a normal slap sound in a gig. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was probably a really nice bass at one point, before the deranged modification programme started. Really, it's the sort of thing that should just be given away for nothing, to someone with the skills or desire to see it fixed up and reborn as something worthy. But aside from the wood it's made of, there is nothing of value there. Bidding on it seems mad; you're just paying for a ticket to a lot of work and headaches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least when I fitted the EMG pickup in my old Roadie 1 (in my defence, the original humbug died and I already had the EMG in the spares box), I had the good sense** to put it in the original pickup cavity. ** a rare thing for me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe_geezer Posted March 16, 2023 Author Share Posted March 16, 2023 A quick question for anyone that has owned a Jaydee GA24 - Can you stand the bass up safely against a wall as the bottom of the body wood is pointed? Is there a strap lock or something to install so as not to rest the bass body wood directly on the floor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same problem with the Alembic series bodies. There is a screw in the tail of the Jaydee which goes in the hole that is used to hang the bass when spraying, but depending on angle of lean, it could be wood on wood. Honestly, just buy a stand. It will fit in some stands that support the bottom of the bass, see picture. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
