The Jive bass by B.C. really is wonderful value for money.

[Cosmo Valdemar 811]

VERY nice... and it looks like they've finally sorted out that headstock!

[Mister RLP 71]

I want one! 

[LewisK1975 251]

Oh no! Jazz bass GAS returns.

[ezbass 2,555]

I didn't even notice it when I was there, too much emphasis on the various Brian Mays with their striking finishes. Opportunity missed by the Bass Centre there.

[NJE 294]

They sorted the ugly headstock and the ugly logo! Smart move, these actually look pretty appealing now.

[NJE 294]

Looks like he is genuinely using it live too.

That IS nice. Good job I don’t get on with a Jazzes, but if I did, that looks like a solid choice.

[acidbass 215]

Can’t see this on their website for sale yet but I would be VERY tempted!

[Jus Lukin 2,554]

It's a looker, alright!

[Mister RLP 71]

I really want one...

I assume it's one of the British Bass Masters series, so could be anywhere between around £400 to £2500.

Doesn't have the relic work that the NWR sig does, so it'll be cheaper than that one (£1500) but does have different pickups from the standard Jive so it's not just a stock model with a different finish. Maybe £500ish? I'd definitely be interested at that price range.

Looks like just another J-bass copy to me.

What makes it special/different to all the other J-basses?

The colour? 

[Tim Chapple 32]

It's not pink, but I just picked this up used for £120 - if you know of a better jazz style bass for the money let me know.....

Vintage VJ74 Reissue's can be found used around the same price.

How many basses must they honestly be selling at £2.5 k?

Why play that when you can play the original Betsy as I did (briefly😀) at the Mansons Guitar Show some years back whilst hanging out with Guy.

I had a MIM 2003 FSR Jazz in burgundy with matching headstock. Was a beauty
