Jaydee Stingray clone

[deksawyer]

I've stuck a post in the leftie section, but I might get a better response here.

There's a Jaydee Stingray clone for sale at Bass Direct and Mark has informed me it was made sometime in the 90's and I was wondering if it was a one off, or whether John made a few of these. He's unsure what pickup/electrics are in it...

Any Jaydee experts able to shed some light?

thanks

I saw it on bassdirect - Looks great, probably an incredible bass with JayDee Quality.
Almost makes me wish I played lefty.

Not really sure I see the point of this bass from Jaydee. It's almost an exact clone of an EBMM Stingray and it's in the ball park price wise as a secondhand Stingray. They appear to have added nothing unique to the Stringray formula.
I know which one I would have....defo the EBMM.
When you consider the innovations, style and sheer beauty of their "Mark King" and "Supernatural model" basses this is a poor show from Jaydee, I can only assume it was a one off for a customer.

It was probably easier, and maybe cheaper to get Jaydee to build this bass at the time than to get a new lefty Musicman. I got him to make me a Warwick Thumb clone, to my specs for about half of what a lefty Warwick NT Thumb would have cost me.
