[quote name='themoo' post='276568' date='Sep 3 2008, 10:03 PM']Thanks buddy... I am totally in love with it!! John is sending me some hi res pics he did before sending it out. He's putting them on his site too![/quote] i can see why your in love with it, absolutely stunning instrument... ohh....them pics should be amazing mate , be sure to post them thanks marcus

Jaydee all the way, i think its the perfect slap bass...the alembic is weird it sounds great on its own but seems to get lost in a band situation, also it seems to sound better played fingerstyle. just my opinion though...both beautiful instruments! marcus

nice alembic moo...love that new jaydee of yours too!

too much lol, and i thought that just having three basses and two pedals, not even an amp was too much...lol

that starchild is beautiful, it has taken this long for me to post as i havent stopped drooling enough lol, i love jaydees, cant be beat imho more pics marcus

how much gear have you actually got now nick...? would love to see a full list

'your pupils' so you teach??? marcus

[quote name='budget bassist' post='275874' date='Sep 2 2008, 10:47 PM']Thanks man t'is very nice, love the finish on the jaydee. Not a huge fan of the hofner style violin style basses but the flame top on that one makes it look pretty classy[/quote] its cherry red mate, but you can see the lovely wood grain through it , it is darker than the usual cherry jaydees that i have seen about, and about the violin bass well its a bit of a one trick pony plays beatles tunes perfectly ...and the flame looks nice ...

nice very nice... i love them musicmans... some very very nice gear on here what do you guys think to this??? ive had it a few years now and its the best bass ive ever played ... and with the others: still need a rig though, i only play through a zoom 506 2 pedal with headphones atm ... so if anyone feels like donating to the poor thanks marcus

[quote name='budget bassist' post='275816' date='Sep 2 2008, 09:45 PM']I think i want your jaydee![/quote] lovely aint it mate , i would never let it go my dad gave it me a few years ago when he thought i was getting good, though there is still the argument that im not good now lol i love your musicman too i tried one of them in a shop in rugby about a year ago and was knocked out by its sound thanks marcus
