ash Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Hmm interesting - I’ve owned one Jaydee the shape looks fine but headstock and tuner placement looks odd to me. Is it a copy? Hand painted body or sprayed? Pickup is not the usual wooden laminate cover. Could be a nice project if it’s real but there are usually serial numbers or stamps on the back of the headstock that I can’t see on these pics - but I am viewing on a phone screen.

There is a serial number - could be 05397? Which would make it very early 80's I think. Bridge looks right, could be a much abused Jaydee Roadie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theplumber Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Looks real enough to me. Early model used and abused!! Let's see what it goes for!! I suppose someone will buy it and do it up! A few years ago I bought a Wilkes bass from E bay. Some of you might remember they looked very very similar to Jaydee guitars of that era. I got it for £25 on a buy now! That's when real bargains came up every day! It was a horrible matt black but in good nick otherwise! Filthy and dusty......but she's good with the kids!!....lol. Anyway I stripped the body of all paint and it turned out to be a really nice mahogany under the paint! Can't remember what the pickup was...might have been Dimarzio or something like that! I used it about the house but can't remember gigging it. It wasn't really my thing! It got punted back on e bay and I think it went for something like £250. Ah...the good old days!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Truss rod cover is a little askew. No logo on the headstock - is it a decal rather than an inlay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Looks really early. I would guess that it's been painted at some point in it's life - Jon would never have let a bass with that amount of orange peel in the finish leave the factory. Now we're all watching it I think that we can expect the price to soar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 It’s £511 already! Still 9 days to go. 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikNik Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I'm guessing this is an early '80s Roadie I. Can't see if the dot markers were gouged out and filled in, or just Sharpied over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prowla Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 The seller says it's made in W. Germany, because that's on the (Schaller) tuners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) What's going on with the pickup, have they added another one at some stage or just enlarged the existing gap to move it forward? Ah, zoomed in to see enlarged to fit the EMG. Edited March 9, 2023 by yorks5stringer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
