You REALLY need to get away from your Nintendo once in a while.

Things a little slow in Aberdeen today?



I can post what that Bass is if you wish; It's a KILLER instrument.....
This one I mean:

Or; However you wanna play!

Nope-
This builder may not have any presence in the UK, so I'll give a short hint.

HE closed his Nashville TN shop just last year, and now these are worth more to those who like them.
Also- It's a short-scale, but sounds BIGGER than almost anything!

That copperburst really really reminds me of something... brain can't think of it... got a touch of the flue.

OK, OK
If JERRY JONES GUITARS is/was unknown abroad, I apologize.
http://www.jerryjonesguitars.com/

As you can see by his site, he retired, gave it up, and for those who knew about and appreciated what he built, they're
going to be-if not collectable- Very appreciated and maybe sought after.

They made high-quality repros of Danelectro's-
Nice necks and 'boards, very workable tuners and bridge, and most of all; the lipstick pickups were wound in-house-
VERY powerful and toneful. Combined with the masonite, unbelievable depth for a short-scale.

This Bass is a Shorthorn, discontinued from his line a couple years back.

Before he closed, he was making LongHorns and the Dolphin-Nose models.
It really is amazing how these basses sound- BIG.

I'm surprised some of the more far-ranging players didn't at least see this as a Dano; JJ Basses were kind of under the radar even in the States. If one comes in sight- check it- You'll be surprised.

Are we abroad?

Perhaps Rayburns and Parkrays don't get to the outer reaches of the Empire either.

I'm sure its a lovely bass, their 'Dolphin' looks particularly interesting but I'm not surprised someone who specialises in Danelectro copies has struggled. Rarely see a real one and, unfortunately, not on my list but always a pleasure to see someone using something other than the generic.

Haven't heard of either Rayburns or Parkrays; I'll check them out, thanks. I myself really like seeing brands I don't know about.

JJ was around for a bit and did fairly well for a small niche builder. I think he WANTED to retire is all. Talk of others picking up his work, but none have yet.

The Dolphin is his recreation of the early Dano or Silvertone (Sears, a Dept. Store, sold 'em.)

Early New Jersey made USA Danos go for quite a bit over here, the current Dano line up is all made offshore- They're ..."OK", cool looking but still a rather cheap instrument. They really need a good set-up to approach pro-level playability.

JJ's on the other hand WERE a real pro instrument, and I blow a lotta minds here when I bust it out during a session to the unknowing.

When they hear that BIG tone come from a short-scale "cheapo" looking bass, Haha.

You're struggling with the range of makes suggested? I think people's brains are really cooking to guess this one.
