Jaydee Basses

[BassByBeck]

I have a 1985 Jaydee Supernatural II and im wondering how the newer Jaydee basses compare to the older ones? 

Does anyone have experience with both?

You could email Andrew (John's son) at Jaydee Custom Guitars and ask how specs may have changed?

Marcus at Bassdirect did a video on mark king basses which used a few Jaydees from different eras. Might be worth giving them a call, they have them in from time to time.

Hello all,

 

I've recently (last saturday...) seen Mark King in Pisa - Italy, and noticed he uses two Supernaturals onstage a red one and a brown one. Having a 1980 Alembic Series I, I'm guessing how the tone of those is comparing to my ol' pal...

Very different, split coils compared to single coils for a start 🤟🏻

 

Alembic’s have a cleaner tone in general, while the Jaydee’s out the box have more of a mid range character

 

the best way is to get your bass side by side with one and make the comparison

Hi,

I've seen only a Supernatural in my life... And only recently have I been able to fulfill a lifelong dream of owning an Alembic... So it's quite hard here in Italy to have them side by side
