Jaydee Supernatural Mk2

I always wanted a jd mk supernatural 2..bought one eventually last July (2014)...had fo buy through uk and have to say it is a top class bass... from the looks to the sound..just amazing..i paid €1,200 incl shipping but as there is a 2 yr wait for a new onw..i reckon it was a steal..

I already have a fender jazz from Japan (1990) which has seen alot of us but the jd is way out ahead..

I first tried a Jaydee in Carlsbro Sound in Sheffield 24 years ago, it was an eye opener as it was so natural to play/hold. The sound and warmth was awesome. I didn't have the readies at that time to purchase it. I haven't played the bass since 1988, and as i have always wanted one, i got the chance to get a mint custom model at reasonable money, so i went for it. I got a Trace Elliot 4 x 10 combo a few weeks ago for a bargain price, so now i had an excuse to buy a JD.

A well balanced guitar, especially when performing a two to three hour gig, or just practising at home puts a smile on your face. I have been semi-pro for about 25 years, also have taught over many years, recorded, done all the 'ish hence have had the opportunity to try many hundreds of differing guitars. Do you think I would trade for any of them?? No chance. Also, when changing string gauge due to differing types of music, i.e, from light jazz funk slap style to heavier rock, the bass is very adept at taking this change without too much faffing around (technical term) with rear bridging, the raising and lowering of, for string clearance on frets, etc.

The absoulte best results from one of these is through a valve amp, the added sustain and tonal ranges really come into their own. OK, enough of getting myself at it! Don't just sit there, go and get your hands on one. I have over the years had a number of dealings with this company, these guys are professional and helpful-and a beak around the workshop is fascinating. I think they still have the odd open day here and there, but if you are in the market place for a bass then do yourself a favour and at least pick one up and have a play.

The Jaydee Supernatural Mk2 bass is a superb piece of craftsmanship, through neck, laminated body (exotic woods), laminated wood pick-up covers. Huge range of tones available. I have played many quality basses but none so far come close to the Jaydee. Suits light gauge strings best. For a bassist who enjoys a slim neck and decent bridge string spacing, this is worth a look. They come up from time to time on ebay and go for anything from about £500 to £1000 +.

Highly recommended.
