BassBod Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Hugh Manson's basses are great, and I know he's JPJ's tech etc - but I do get tired of the JPJ associations and marketing.....can someone else please do some endorsing for him and the shop?? Thinking about it, Manson must be about the only bass Mark King has never played, at least that would make a change... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoombung Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I'm a big fan of that shape - wonderfully designed and superb balance. looks beautiful. Manson basses can be extremely heavy, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Looks a lot like the Peavey Bromberg sig... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocco Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 thats what it looks like! I take the ibanez comment back. Still don't like it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoombung Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 The advantages of an unboken curve at the bottom of the body (examples below) mean you can pivot the bass at any angle very nicely [i]and it will stay on your lap[/i] ...unlike many other basses!

AndyTravis Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I like it. I think i'd want an aqua marine type burst. Not paying £2100 for it though ta. Lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubinga5 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 ooo i like that...looks like a cross between a GB Spitfire and an F Bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbowskill Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 prob plays and sounds super!! but look crap! live nears mansons ,take a step in,a very over priced shop.(still they could make me a sig model any day ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Not for me that one. I'm not too far from Mansons either and I've got to say I've never been in there. I've checked out the prices online and had to go and sit down with a cuppa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delberthot Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I'm thinking Dean or Peavey Palaedeum - doesn't look anything special. A JPJ custom bass should be a dual course 12 string bass, at least JPJ in the modern sense, otherwise its a Jazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
