JustaBass Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Noticed these lovely looking jazz basses on E Bay made by Pat Wilkins has anyone ever played one of his instruments, if they play as good as they look then There are many more pics to view on ebay for anyone who cares to take a look.

joe_bass Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Very nice. That p/j on Ebay certainly is a looker. Are you in the market then & considering one of these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2112 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 The top woods look decent but the headstock shape looks fairly naff to me. I wonder what they sound like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blademan_98 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 As soon as I saw 2k, I died a little inside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bh2 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Yes... more over priced, over made, over engineered Jazz Bass copies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomash Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I have one, bought from here last year. Pearl white alder body with matching headstock, rosewood fingerboard, bound with block inlays. DiMarzios and Demeter preamp. Gorgeous to play, well balanced, and such a perfectly profiled neck for me. I was only used to Precision necks before so the width has been a revelation to me. I can understand that the headstock is not everyone's cup of tea, but I like not having the complete Fender look. I can't quite find the Jazz "burp" sound, but that could just be me not spending much time experimenting with the endless eq options. No problem ever cutting through a live or studio mix. Thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
