hmmmm Jerzy Drozd....(pic)

[oversoul]

me playing a jerzy drozd mastery this past saturday at the new JD dealer in Portugal. These things kick some serious *ss
Bass below being a mastery with black poplar top, ebony board, obp-3 and "nature" inlay, yummy!

this bass has had a drunken guy drumming on the top with a pair of drumsticks ! (no major harm done fortunately)

The body looks a bit long to me. But love it none the less!

[Marcus]

That is absolutely stunning.

 

[Lokire]

Oh man. That looks so good, it hurts

 

[j-raj]

jerzy's basses have a very organic feel to their design.

 

[Oxblood]

I don't think its possible for Jerzy Drozd to not produce an amazing bass.

 

[Fret-less Six]

Yeah Jerzy makes a beautiful instrument, they look organic you know? Is it me, or does that bass' body look big?

 

[KJung]

The Drozd bodies are actually very small, but in sitting position, most of the body is positioned out over the leg. So, this picture is somewhat misleading... the bodies are very, very compact, and the balance of the basses are great.

They are very nice basses... beautifully made. The necks are quite 'chunky', but the playability is great.

Save your money, get a Washburn T-24!

Jerzy Drozd is probably my favourite luthier, good to see his work is of as higher standard as ever.

 

[thehurlatron]

DROOL......I love the look of JD basses.

naw... ya didn't... :scowl:

 

[Aussiephoenix]

You bastard. lol.

Seriously beautiful basses, but are they worth the 5K+ price tag?

 

[Marcus]

The price is subjective, but if I was fortunate enough to have $5k to drop, I'd do it... check out the beauty of the inlay:

That's... amazing.

 

[KJung]

His bolt-on Excelleny model with a nice AAA top sells for just a touch over $3,000. Still looks great, and sounds virtually identical to the Mastery with the inlays. The point being, you can get into one of these basses for a lot less than $5K if you don't want the fancy in-lays, etc.

While I love my T24 and think it's a great bass, it's probably like comparing a Fender to a Sadowsky...they may look similar but that's about where it ends....only in that case the Sadowsky copy is better than the original...not so with the Washburn copy

 

[mark beem]

Sweet! Love the poplar top!

These are awsome basses in the hands of two fine bass players.

The only think I don't like about JD basses is the (what appears to be) downsized body...
