GregBass Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Wowee - look what just arrived. It a custom bass made by luthier Jaden Rose for his own use. He tells me that it's the only bass he ever made, and he will not be making any more. It plays a dream, with super-fast slim neck. Happy days!! Quote
CamdenRob Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) That looks interesting, kinda like a fat curbow shape... Edited October 8, 2014 by CamdenRob Quote
HowieBass Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Swamp ash body? Am guessing a P bass sound with plenty of mids. How come it's ended up with you? Quote
MoonBassAlpha Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 It has the roundness in the body of a Pedulla Quote

How come it's ended up with you? [/quote] I have just asked Jaden what the body wood is. I'll let you know when he comes back to me. Edit to add: Jaden has just confirmed that it is indeed swamp ash. Jaden made the bass for one band he was working with (for those in the know, Monkey Lord who morphed into Dorje). When he left, he decided that bass wasn't for him and concentrated on playing and building guitars. My son is a Jaden guitar endorsee (and Timber Tones picks - he was also a Jet City endorsee), so I know Jaden through that. When he wanted to sell, he put an ad out and we chatted about value. Well, you know how it goes. One minute we were chatting, the next I had agreed to buy it Edited October 8, 2014 by GregBass Quote
ezbass Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 I think it looks really good and look forward to a review if you've a mind to do one. [quote name='charic' timestamp='1412771250' post='2571816'] There's something very Yamaha about that [/quote]Yeah I'm seeing that too, the upper horn has an RBX look about it. Quote
PlungerModerno Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Cute! some more pics for the "wood porn" pile would be very welcome. Happy playing! Quote
