warriorbass05 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Have you made a video with the Pangborn? that would be something I have not seen in action. I know MK used them early in L42 but there are not many around (I am told) and I doubt seriously that there are any on this side of the pond...

loushort Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I kicked myself recently as Daintees were playing a nice theatre gig and someone filmed it and stuck it on you tube I wished I'd used the Pangborn that night as it sounds great but no I haven't got anything to show you sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushbo Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Ah memories....here's my Jaydee story. About 1988, I found myself in a band with two of John Diggins' sons - a very useful guitarist and drummer. We used to rehearse at his workshop in Brum after hours - a bench got moved to the side and a PA flung up and off we went. This meant we practically had the run of the place and I had a number of delicious Jaydees to twang on. My favourite was a Supernatural which apparently was a "second" - the bridge was slightly askew if I remember correctly. I saw some amazing stuff - instruments belonging to Tony Iommi, Dave Hill and of course, Mark King. One of Mr Level 42s basses was in for a post tour service and I was very impressed that thanks to his powerful slappage, he had managed to wear grooves in the pick up covers. That and the fact that they weighed A TON raises Mr King in my estimation. I got to have a good ol' prowl around the facility and see some beautiful instruments being made, including the legendary Jaco Jaydee. I even had a chat with the Bassie from Cutting Crew (remember them...?) when he picked up his instrument after a service. What a nice man. I only managed one gig with the Diggins boys - I was sacked because the singer didn't like me. Hey ho. Ironically, I used the Supernatural at the show with my custard yellow BC Rich as the back-up. The BC Rich had a case. The Supernatural didn't. I remember having a post gig curry with the Jaydee leaning against the table, caseless, with numerous waiters nearly falling over it. Then, slightly tipsy, I wandered through Brum with it over my shoulder as if it was a hobos backpack. Even though I'm a Fender man nowerdays, if I had the cash, I'd grab one of these beauties in a hot minute. I wonder what happened to that shop soiled Supernatural?

blunderthumbs Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 [quote name='warriorbass05' timestamp='1361461517' post='1986047'] is that the "Martin Bell" bass? It looks awesome! [/quote] Hi Jaymi. How you doin'.? Yes the very same and yes she is awesome. Not a mark on her. Can't believe It's 26 or more years old Looks like it was made last week.I'm frightened to take it on gigs in case it gets dinged. Gonna have to send it to John and have the pickup selector switch sorted. When you rotate it to the on position Sometimes it comes on and sometimes it doesn't. You have to quickly turn it off then on again to get it to work. Oh and when in active mode it sounds like sombody is frying food. Do any of yours have or have had this problem?? Cheers. Ian.
