What Jet did next

[ead]

In an idle moment I clicked onto the Jet website, and aside from the JJB range having more colour options, they have a 5-string P bass in Charcoal and a 5-string 'deep blue' Jazz bass.

Well they both looked bloody lovely.

 

Not ideal for my wallet.

Like the P, bit disappointed it wasn't Jet from Gladiators (on whom I had a Partridge sized crush) playing it!

I'm so sorry to disappoint you there @Grooverjr 😞

Just as an aside, what is peoples view of the treble side being the longer side of the pickup on that P bass? 

Seems most do it the opposite way with the B-E-A being the longer side of the split P.

The designers are clearly heretics and should be burned.

 

The website states that the pickups are custom-made by YHL (for both the P and J 5ers) but I haven't heard of them.

I'd assumed the thread was about the ex-Shadows bass player - as it happens "Jet" was also what my old Physics teacher nicknamed me, with my surname being Whittle. 

 

Just how many "boutique" Fender clones are out there?

Insert joke about needing to whittle down the number of boutique Fender clones here
