doctor_of_the_bass Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 If you're a nut, I'm a coconut! Here's Basschat's most nutty nut with the famous Red Classic, ex-Mark King - bought in '99: Here's Morgan Roussell and myself in his flat in Paris with our famous JayDees! My Classic Series I - currently with John being refinished/modded: Not one of mine but lovely example of a Series I Classic in pearl pink - from the Netherlands: Another from the net, this time a Series III `Mark King' model in pearl blue: This time, a Series II in pink, you can now compare the relative differences in body size/shape! For you fellow Jaydee buffs, this is unusual in that it does not have the `funk groove' which was normally a standard feature on this series! Compare the shape of those above to this stunning `GA 24 - George Anderson Junior Model' again in pink (sounds like a fashion show eh!?): will post some more laters! Ciao!

doctor_of_the_bass Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Some more pornos! Here's the superb `Starchild' replica, built for Thom Boyle: ..and a close-up of the fretboard: A five-string `Celeste' model - aimed at the `StingRay' players! A left-handed `Calibas' model - I've recently picked up a 6 string version: A very unusual Series III model `Roadie IIA' bass, owned by John Moes: A `Roadie IIA' model - Series II shape: A similar bass, this time, the `Roadie IA' model, again a Series II shape: And another `Mark King' model, Series II - this time with the funk groove!

pnefc42 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 (edited) Thought I'd attach some pics of my beautiful Series I Classic #0003SA replica complete with pickups out of MKs 1st Jaydee - bass also is now fitted with cocobolo master tone/volume knobs which John kindly made for me a couple of months ago! Enjoy!!! Cheers Dave Edited August 13, 2008 by pnefc42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stingrayfan Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 All of these look like the same bass - just in different colours. I wouldn't mind a go though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice knobs - I've got cocobolo ones on my Classic - all the controls including th EQ knobs. The Calibas 6 (fretted) was originally on Ebay...the fretless is hopefully being acquired by a relative of mine very soon! Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4000 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 (edited) The Starchild Jaydee is one of my all-time favourite basses. I'll never forget the first time I saw it on Whistle Test; my jaw just went through the floor. Of course Mark's playing was pretty impressive too; he was the first guy I'd ever seen slapping, and I'd never seen anything like Dune Tune (I think I'd been playing a year or two at the time, and things were different in those days!). Imagine , the first guy you ever see slapping is Mark King... That aqua quilt is gorgeous as well! Edited August 14, 2008 by 4000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutToPlayJazz Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Yes, the StarChild is a lovely looking bass. Matt (TheMoo) from Statii.com has one being built at the moment. I'll ask him to send over some pics when he gets it. Looks stunning in his build diary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
