Joe dart .. Ernie ball jazz !

[BadSanta1281]

Nice. I'd buy it if they had a $2000 off coupon.

So its a Jazz bass?

Exactly what I thought. And an ugly one to boot.

 

[J Posega]

Sorry. TOO VERSATILE.

I'm surprised it's not just a single blend knob.

 

[EagleMoon]

Those knobs scream “cheap” to me.

Exactly what I thought. And an ugly one to boot.

And expensive as well.

The knobs are one of the things that really stand out to me. I like them. I think they suit a retro aesthetic and they're unique. I can't recall any other signature instruments that got custom designed knobs.

Seems pretty lame not to countersink the control plate on a multi-thousand dollar bass. But the knobs are cool.

They definitely stand out but they remind me of something that would be on a kids toy.

So its a Jazz bass?

Definitely not - they refer to it in the video - “decided to split the original Joe Dart pick up and move a set of coils forwards - no one’s thought of that before”

Love Joe Dart's playing with Vulfpeck, Fearless Flyers, etc. Fantastic player. So I'm a fan of his. And FTR, prior to his first EBMM bass, he was usually seen playing an oly white jazz bass, I think it was a MIM to boot. So he's not new to a j-bass layout.

However - $2,699 for this is crazy.

Great looking bass and something I've been waiting EBMM to do - a natural Caprice body without a pickguard. I jumped on it within 15 minutes of getting the email and now I see 36 others have done the same. To sell over 1/3 of their initial offering within an hour of releasing it is not a bad start.

 

[Killing Floor]

Joe Dart is truly blessed to have the EBMM marketing team so fully invested in his career. I wish him well.

-"Hey this is Joe. I'm crazy busy, what can we get done in 2 minutes?"

 

[AngelCrusher]

Wow $2,700. I was not expecting that price. I have a NYC Sadowsky for just a bit more than that.

I certainly get the limited run of 100 exclusivity angle, but the logical business person in me thinks they could have done a run of 1,000 and sold them at $1,699 and sold every one...

Looks cool, and will definitely be a conversation starter, hope you enjoy yours!

I wonder why they didn't finish it.

 

[Snert]

A lot of money for an ash/maple with a pair of linear Ps in it. HB would retail it at 1/10th and still make money.

 

[legalbass]

I have no feelings about Joe Dart as a player one way or the other.

The bass looks okay (despite the cartoonishly oversized knobs that, for whatever reason, conjured the image of Pee Wee Herman playing this bass) but when I saw the price I *actually* laughed out loud.

Give me a break.

The least expensive EBMM bass is $2,400. Is it worth an extra $300 for something a little different with a natural ash body and figured neck? To me it was.

I would love this in a different finish!
