Completely agree, I saw them during the "Retroglide" tour and I hated that glassy tone of the Status basses. There was no low end.

Heck, I have the same complaint about Flea's live bass tone during the "By the way" era, that Modulus sounded so glassy.

For me it really depends. I have a Status S2 and it has a lot of punchy low mids. But I do find that Mark King's tone is sometimes, as you say, a bit on the glassy side. I saw some Level 42 shows during the Eternity tour when MK was using a Status T bass and those basses had a more gutsy sound to them than the King basses seem to. But it's good to hear Mark on the Jaydees again. Those are the basses I most associate with my favourite Level 42 period.

I'm very temped to start saving up cash to commission myself a Roadie II from JayDee.

What do you guys think of these, any recommendations?

Who was the bass player in Nik Kershaw's band? That guy played JayDee basses and in the studio too, most notably on "I won't let the sun go down on me"

That's such a GREAT song too.

Hi folks, I am about to order a new Jaydee bass - does anyone know, what colours they are offering,- which ones are custom and which ones come with the price shown in the pricelist? I do remeber seeing lots of pearl tones some years ago.
Another question is, how the different materials of a Raodie IIA and a Supernatural show tonewise ? Thank you very much, your experience is highly valued

 

[Jaymi]

standard colours include the pearl finishes and solid colors...if you want something special, they will advise of additional cost.
i have not heard much difference in tone based on whether body is mahogany or laminated.

 

[Martke]

Hi all, is there a serial number database available for JayDee basses? I recently bought one, but cannot find any option to date it

 

[Jaymi]

We can help you date on here....post some pics and the number and I will check it out for you...The only other way is to contact Jaydee directly...
