Stag Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Hi chaps / chapettes, A good friend of mine is looking like he's going to sell his Jaydee SMK - I can honestly say ive never seen one for sale on here (maybe i missed one once?) - what sort of cash should he be looking for? Ive tried to put him off flogging it to a specialist shop as i imagine they will rip him for the dosh... or sell it for him with a phat lump of "commission" tacked on. Cheers peeps (oh and of course, if anyone wants it themselves, drop me a PM and ill try to put you in contact with him... he's in Norfolk. Ive played the bass myself when i used to teach him many years ago and it was in pristine nick last time I saw it, very very nice instrument indeed)
doctor_of_the_bass Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Allo! JD pricing - really depends on a number of factors - the larger bodied Series I models will normally attract a bit more to JD buffs but again, prices can vary depending on what day it is!!! The cost of a new model (Series III) is I think around £1400 but you then have to factor in a very long wait due to the fact that John currently has over 40 orders! A Series II or III bodied Mark King model could go from around £700 upwards - condition of course also having an impact. Special features such as exotic neck inlays would push the price up - a Saturn inlaid Series II went for £1200 on Ebay earlier this year. If you can get hold of some pics that would certainly help. Norfolk - not too far away from me.....must try to resist! Cheers Nick
Stag Posted October 12, 2009 Author Posted October 12, 2009 Ive asked him for some pics. Personally I think he's a mad bugger for selling it but there you go...
Stag Posted October 12, 2009 Author Posted October 12, 2009 (edited) Ok - some further information from the man himself (via his wife, lol) It is a Supernatural Mark King Classic Series I (dot inlays). but I dont know the year! if you go on [url="http://www.jaydeecustomguitars.co.uk/mark-king-1.jpg"]http://www.jaydeecustomguitars.co.uk/mark-king-1.jpg[/url], the one on the right is my exact one... well... except I own it not Mark King (!) and except for the dot inlays are slightly different and the hardware on mine is silver not gold (the pic is off the website about Jaydee's and the two guitars are the only two that Mark King still has in his posession). Hope this helps? Whats a ball park figure for this then Jaydee experts? This isnt for sale (yet) but when it is ill get him to post it on here in the For Sale forum with some piccies. Im told its in pretty much the same nick I saw it in last time, ie. very good. Edited October 12, 2009 by Stag
doctor_of_the_bass Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 No less than a grand! Nick (be great if you can get them thar pix!)
Stag Posted October 12, 2009 Author Posted October 12, 2009 cheers Nick - I think he's still intending to keep a bass in the house to tinkle on, so ill try and get him to set up an account here in the near future.
Stag Posted November 24, 2009 Author Posted November 24, 2009 (edited) His missus has put it on the Bay - not sure she will get what they are asking tho! Id forgotten the ludicrusly big flight case he got with it as well, lol.

Mickb1773 Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 If it does not sell , I can offer him a Sadowsky Metro in CAR (Currently in the for Sale/Trade forum) if he is interested,Probably not but worth a punt All the best, Mick.
Stag Posted November 24, 2009 Author Posted November 24, 2009 I think he's more after dosh at the minute, but hey, why not? Good luck sir.
