Did you have any bridge problem with you jmj bass 

Funnily enough yes! One saddle was centred when they all should be left aligned, I contacted Fender UK and was resolved quickly as it a know issue now.

Buddy Holly - Weezer

I understand from another thread by a fella in Dirty DC an AC/DC tribute band that found one with a EU dealer and the retail over here is around £9,000 !!

He said... Very interesed in buying one of the new Cliff Williams signature basses released in November. I inquired with Ernie Ball they said there was only one bass coming to Europe and gave me the name of the dealer in the UK. Contacted them asking for a price and tech spec and after several emails finally got back to me with a price of £9k...WTF.....When I told them I paid £2500 for a genuine 1977 boo series bass exactly the same bass as Cliffs they came back and said OK how about £8500...has anyone anymore info on how this is?
Surely at that price they don't expect to sell many!

You could just buy an original 1979 B00 Music Man Stingray for way less which is daft really !!

Crazy Little Thing Called Love - Queen

Bark at the Moon - Ozzy Osbourne

Walking on Sunshine - Katrina and the Waves

More Than a Feeling - Boston

I've always liked this ...

Here comes the Sun - The Beatles

Love the Billy, played there many times with Boxeddy, Toe's Mavern, Grounded and Nothing Scientific and always had great nights

Will miss packing away in the dark while the PA blasts a barrage of metal tunes !!!

Fingers crossed it will be back in some form in the future

I would say that a shorter scale length can give a different timbre to an instrument. The scale has a big influence on the kind of harmonic overtones a string produces when plucked/ picked/ thumped. Those overtones play a big part in defining the overall tone.

They do BUT I have three short scales, Musicman Stingray, Fender JMJ Mustang and Warwick Corvette and all three are different, be it the construction or pickups etc that makes them all sound quite different, not lacking anything ... all in a good way I might add

These look like fantastic basses. I thought about buying one myself , but when the demos started appearing on youtube it struck me how much they sounded like a regular Stingray. If I was blindfolded I would not be able to hear any difference between these basses and the full-sized version.Nothing wrong with that, but ideally  I would prefer something a bit more discernibly different.

Definitely a Stingray, but passive, pick up switching parallel, series, single coil as well as volume boost. Not as aggressive however it’s  basically a Stingray with a smaller body and shorter (nice smelling) neck

Bonus ... no battery required!!

I agree but I didn't much go on the Sterling colours and some of the detail.  From what I can gather there is only a limited producton run.  I must say I'm very pleased with it.

Really pleased with mine too, it’s superb quality, I do totally get people held back by the cost, I sold two basses to cover it! The feel, the smell and colour did it for me, can’t resist a sparkly finish !!

The fit, finish and feel is superb with a neck to die for. Roasted maple feels silky smooth, finished to perfection and smells great too if you like BBQ’s !!!

Punchy, articulate with a decent range of tones from the passive pickup, still Stingray though!

Starry Night finish looks amazing, the hardware is excellent. 

All round great bass, is it worth 3x a Sterling SS Ray ... I’m not sure 

Surely there’s a couple of people taken the plunge on one!!?? @TK4261 @4000

Deal with confidence, Jarek is a great guy, quick, regular communication. He bought my Washburn bass, paid promptly by Paypal fiends & Family so no fees, he arranged a courier. All I had to do was pack the bass up in a bomb proof box to ship to Belgium. Five star transaction!
