Annoying Twit Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Nice, IMHO. Not that I'm going to be buying one, but does anyone have one of these? http://www.dv247.com/guitars/jandd-yc-150j-4-string-bass-guitar-white--210971 Quote
Moos3h Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 That's pretty cool - is the finish matte? That would look GREAT as long as not too yellow in real life Quote
MarshallBTB Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Like the finish, the high frets look a little difficult though. Quote
Conan Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 The bridge seems awfully close to the end of the body... Quote

[/quote] Yeah it looks like the body needs moved down from the neck a few inches. Imagine everything in that picture staying static and just have the body moved a bit. That would make it a bit more "right" to me. Quote
Cosmo Valdemar Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Looks a lot like the Fernandes Gravity to me! Quote
Conan Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) Although the style does nothing for me, if the quality is anything like their J bass clones - you really can't go far wrong for under a hundred quid! BTW - in reference to the thread title... how is that a "Jazz bass"? Edited January 9, 2015 by Conan Quote
HowieBass Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 A J type bass I suppose in that the pickups are single coils in the same relative position as with a Fender/Squier Jazz? However with the 2 pot EQ I can't work out if that's a passive tone per pickup or an active 2-band. Quote
Annoying Twit Posted January 9, 2015 Author Posted January 9, 2015 I've seen similar things described as jazz basses, even if there is variation. However, just because I've seen them described that way, that doesn't make it true The "BC" in the title stands for "Bass Collection". I can't remember which model, but one of the Japanese Bass Collection models I THINK had two Jazz style pickups. Quote
Mornats Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 The "jazz" reference is down to the two J-style pickup configuration I think. The old 5 string Bass Collections had two J pickups where the rest of the range (except the SB330 range) had P/J pickups. Here's a pic of my old SB315 5-string so you can see the similarities with the JD bass in the first post: [url=https://flic.kr/p/g3xGbF][/url] Quote
