I like it, but I think I'd want a different finish if it were mine. Maybe the black velvet colour of his other model. I could also see myself changing out both knobs to stacked volume and tone.

Joe dart .. Ernie ball jazz !

The idea made me giggle: this time we'll have *two* pickups, and *two* volume knobs, and we'll call it the Joe Dart *two*.
The video isn't quite as inspired as the earlier one, but I always enjoy their sense of humor, though I get why it's not for everyone.
(Yes, I'm only into this for the videos.)

Love his playing, hate his basses. But thats just my aestethic.
Those of you who don't know who he is should try to do a google on the youtuber TV. Maybe you'll discover something new..

Thanks for the info!
At this price (basically the same as a StingRay), I'm not interested (I'd buy a StingRay instead). This is precisely the big mistake that EBMM made with the Caprice - - they want to charge too much for a passive bass! I know - - there are some passive fans out there, but if I have a choice, I'd rather have the active bass for the additional flexibility.

The Cliff Williams Sting Ray Sig is over $7k.
I am not a MusicMan guy, but this is SO sweet. I LOVE the sleek look and jazz pups ! I LOVE IT !
Wow, $2,699 for a limited edition sounds like a descent deal, too.

It should also be noted that all of the proceeds from that bass were donated to a charity for Alzheimer's.
Have you seen the John Mayer Strat with the PRS headstock? Super innovative.
Or something heard a few times before.
For that price I would just go for your typical single H Ray, but that's me.

That is AWESOME! I didn't know that.
Yes, I agree. I think they did a run of 100 of those basses and they all sold pretty quickly so that's a pretty sizable contribution to that charity.
I don’t think they expect to sell a lot of these, and that is another reason the price is so high. I also think EBMM is just running into the limits of pricing a very high quality production bass with well paid labor in the USA.
It reminds me of the beginning of "It Might Get Loud" where Jack White wires up an amp and pickup out of spare junk he has lying around to make an "electric guitar"
It's interesting reading different peoples reactions. I love EBMM and Jazz Basses and I'm definitely in the camp of not liking this at all. Different strokes.

Your last gold record was when....? Less people know who you are. Let that circle the mental drain for a while.
"It's a jazz bass"
Gold star! What an astonishing observation!
Damn. Redundancy, people. Keep it in check.
