BassBod Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 Hugh Manson's basses are great, and I know he's JPJ's tech etc - but I do get tired of the JPJ associations and marketing.....can someone else please do some endorsing for him and the shop?? Thinking about it, Manson must be about the only bass Mark King has never played, at least that would make a change... Quote
Spoombung Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 I'm a big fan of that shape - wonderfully designed and superb balance. looks beautiful. Manson basses can be extremely heavy, though. Quote
cocco Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 thats what it looks like! I take the ibanez comment back. Still don't like it though. Quote

Spoombung Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 The advantages of an unboken curve at the bottom of the body (examples below) mean you can pivot the bass at any angle very nicely [i]and it will stay on your lap[/i] ...unlike many other basses! Quote
AndyTravis Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 I like it. I think i'd want an aqua marine type burst. Not paying £2100 for it though ta. Lovely. Quote
bubinga5 Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 ooo i like that...looks like a cross between a GB Spitfire and an F Bass Quote
danbowskill Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 prob plays and sounds super!! but look crap! live nears mansons ,take a step in,a very over priced shop.(still they could make me a sig model any day ) Quote
Marvin Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Not for me that one. I'm not too far from Mansons either and I've got to say I've never been in there. I've checked out the prices online and had to go and sit down with a cuppa. Quote

Delberthot Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 I'm thinking Dean or Peavey Palaedeum - doesn't look anything special. A JPJ custom bass should be a dual course 12 string bass, at least JPJ in the modern sense, otherwise its a Jazz Quote
