  1. No prob, here you go 🙂 https://shop.music-man.com/ernie-ball-music-man-joe-dart-ii.html
  2. Finally in the rock and roll hall of fame 😎
  3. Here is the lowendlobster's unboxing and first impressions video. Quite funny. Yes, the complex controls seem to be very difficult to master indeed 😉
  4. The new Pro II has a “Super Natural” Satin Urethane neck finish. The Pro I had a similar finish, both very nice but I found the 63 style necks a bit chunky for my taste.
  5. For me, it has to be transparent red like on this beauty here:
  6. Looks like this thread has reminded you of your cello teacher A LOT 😉
  7. and good choice. I love my EMG pickups (on my Spectors though).
  8. I has a 1/4'' universal output. According to the manual, "SansAmp’s technologically advanced, single Universal Output is physically compatible for any application: full range (tape, studio monitors, P.A., stereo) and limited range (rack systems, pre-amps, head and cabinet, combos, practice amps)." The pedal can be used to record directly. "You can plug directly into the input of a mixer/recorder and use the on-board sounds of SansAmp YYZ" More info can be found in the user's manual: https://www.tech21nyc.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Geddy_YYZ_OM.pdf
  9. Agree, they made it very clear that the limited edition consists of the first 100 basses that are numbered and have a certificate. The "normal" JD II can be ordered now via the vault: https://shop.music-man.com/ernie-ball-music-man-joe-dart-ii.html They did the same for the first JD sig bass that can still be ordered via the vault as well (in natural and velvet): https://shop.music-man.com/ernie-ball-music-man-joe-dart-bass-velvet-natural.html https://shop.music-man.com/ernie-ball-music-man-joe-dart-bass-black-velvet.html It was different for the Tim Commerford signature bass. That was only available 4x50 times (passive and long-scale, passive and short-scale, active and long-scale and active and short-scale). Although, at next NAMM(s), EBMM may decide to bring one of these back as a production model (or maybe a different one, I would like to see the long-scale natural one with black hardware and 2EQ preamp!)
  10. I will also always remember Bass Gear. It's where I bought my first Spector (Legend NT) back in 16. I felt really welcomed and not pressured to buy anything. Great place 👍
  11. Well, to bring it back to JD and his "taste" in minimalist basses, maybe I should open a minimalist burger restaurant - "Burger and Chips". You only get one burger and chips. Nothing else. No choice. Could work as an antidote to all these fancy burger places and tons of customization options. Keep it simple - Burger and Chips!
  12. and yes, in case people wonder about my previous "lukewarm" comment. I again managed to smuggle in a Spinal Tap reference today 😉
  13. Agree, bass forums are clearly not representative of the wider bass gear buying public. I said it here on BC once before: " I remember Sterling Ball once saying in the EBMM forum that people have great new product ideas but EBMM has to be very careful and cannot make them all as otherwise this would guarantee him a new career in hospitality: "Do you want fries with that?" 😉"
  14. I agree. I like JD a lot. I hope he will attract a lot of young people to playing bass. I also like the idea behind his signature basses too. Less is more. It is just that his sig basses do not appeal to me and that's why I am not going for them. So, I am somewhere in between the fanboys/girls and haters. It’s like fire and ice, and I feel my role is to be kind of the middle of that, kind of like lukewarm water 😉
  15. Don't worry. It has sold out already 😎
  16. 73 have sold so far. That's pretty good!
  17. BTW, 43 out of the first 100 (the limited edition) have already sold. That's pretty impressive!
  18. I know, I just could not resist to use this opportunity to smuggle in yet another of my beloved Spinal Tap references (in case anyone wondered what on Earth I was going on about ; -)
  19. That is the beauty of the JD II bass. You can paint it in any colour you like. Endless opportunities. Imagine they would only offer it in one colour (e.g. black or white or sunburst, how boring) but you want it in a purple-green finish with sparkle. Well, now you can have it! How cool is that! DIY! Part of the JD/JS ethos 😉
  20. Yeah, they have an interesting type of humour 😉
  21. Sorry, I don't get that. Is it only available for 100 minutes or does it only last for 100 minutes as after that it automatically combusts on stage during a jazz-blues or blues-jazz festival on the Isle of Lucy, leaving behind what can only be described alternately as a "globule" or a "stain”?
  22. Please don't sell the Bongo. It was destiny that it found its way back to you and one does not mess with destiny 😉
  23. Good video. Liked the sound, not sure about the finish issues (headstock) and value for money. Seems like there is a third hole underneath the Hipshot bridge so that you can install Gibson's famous three point bridge. Man, who does not want to do that? Gibson should list it as another great feature of this bass 😉
