Tim Chapple Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 The Jive bass by B.C. really is wonderful value for money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Valdemar Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 VERY nice... and it looks like they've finally sorted out that headstock! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezbass Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I didn't even notice it when I was there, too much emphasis on the various Brian Mays with their striking finishes. Opportunity missed by the Bass Centre there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJE Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 They sorted the ugly headstock and the ugly logo! Smart move, these actually look pretty appealing now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4000 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 That IS nice. Good job I don’t get on with a Jazzes, but if I did, that looks like a solid choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume it's one of the British Bass Masters series, so could be anywhere between around £400 to £2500. Doesn't have the relic work that the NWR sig does, so it'll be cheaper than that one (£1500) but does have different pickups from the standard Jive so it's not just a stock model with a different finish. Maybe £500ish? I'd definitely be interested at that price range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Looks like just another J-bass copy to me. What makes it special/different to all the other J-basses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Chapple Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 It's not pink, but I just picked this up used for £120 - if you know of a better jazz style bass for the money let me know..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mep Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Why play that when you can play the original Betsy as I did (briefly😀) at the Mansons Guitar Show some years back whilst hanging out with Guy. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe £500ish? I'd definitely be interested at that price range. At the same show, I tried out their Phil Lynott Power Bass - black P with mirror scratchplate. Nice neck, lightweight bass, lovely growl to it. Full sound, lively feel. £499 I believe. Had I been I somewhat more flush, the Power Bass (though probably not the Lynott!) would have been the bass that I'd have bought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
