[font="Arial Black"][/font]Attention K-Mart Shoppers!

My Jaydee is getting a new facelift in the color department as we speak.

I'm retireing the pearl pink and changing it to a new to be announced at a later date.

More to come soon..........

Hey Doc!
Your Old One!
Was this not the bass Mark put up as a prize in a competition in Musicians International magazine?....I know he originally signed it on the front in silver marker which was lacquered over. When i met Mark on the World Machine Tour i mentioned it as obviously i hadnt won it, He told me the guy who won the bass didnt actually play bass and had sold it to a shop....shortly after being presented with it,Mark saw it in the shop window and got polydor to get it back.....Is this the same bass?...does look like it!...[/quote]

I remember that competition, I entered it something like a dozen times hoping to win. You had to say how many parts made up a Jaydee MK bass, and there were anagrams of bass players names that you had to decipher (that was the 1st time I'd heard of Marcus Miller). I still have the magazine somewhere.

Well.......Here she is for the new unveiling.
My newly re-painted Series 1 in burnt orange.
I chose orange because it accents the hardware and really brings out the woodwork in the laminates and I haven't seen another Jaydee in this color.
I think it looks rather unique and different. Just didn't want a typical white,black,boring color. Couldn't really go with the cherry color as that would require too much sanding.
More photos to come when I get time.

Er, maybe not. Shame - it looks like fun.[/quote]

Well fear not about the color now my friend. Check it out now. It would look respectable gigging in an Indie cover band now wouldn't you think?

Hi, Jaydee actually have a colour very much like this- it's called 'volcano red'. I once had a Mark King series 2 in that very colour!
