Wow! I love Jaydee basses. Too bad it's not a lefty, or maybe it's a very good thing.

I wonder what the reserve price is, someone could end up with a damn fine bass for a really decent price!

Think I'll watch this one just for fun.

This is one of those rare cases where the "RARE" description is really accurate.

You never know where one like this is going to end up. An 8-string in a brand that's never really been well known, somebody could walk away with a bargain. Or not.

It's a good thing. The fact that it's a righty is torturing me. I would love to own this. Had I not bought two basses in the past month I would be all over this. Actually I bought three but #2 is on the way out to partially pay for the third. The coffers are empty.

If I were in a Level 42 tribute band I'd be all over that! Beautiful bass...

I like it! I just sold my Ric 8-string though, so I can't really see myself shelling out for a new 8 right away, especially if it cost more. Or can I...

The magic 8 ball says yes.

Dave, Hi. Great looking bass for sale, stunning.

I am very proud to have a "UNIQUE" Jaydee - a Twelve, well sort of!

I'm not sure if I should share this here or in "Twins", although I'm not sure it was meant to be this sort of twin.
I'm sure you will place it where it is most appropriate.

Jaydee Gemini VIII Twin Neck.
To my knowledge, this is the only Twin that John made, which is over 30 years old.
It is a beast, in every sense. This is THE heaviest instrument I have and I am currently working out,
lifting pints, to ensure I can rattle out a few numbers on it, before it drives me into the ground.

I have an Ibanez Studio "8", so I am quite used to playing one and I am used to Twins but this is something else!

These are older pics, so I will put another one up, if and when the sun comes out.
It is currently waiting for a set up and tickle with the duster, when I find the time. Ha.

Hope you enjoy 'avin' a Butchers.

Cheers.
Flat Eric.

Dang, there's half a butcher-block table top in that body!

Highlander · March 29, 2010, 01:43:44 PM

Do we have a "JAW HITS THE FLOOR" emoticon...?

Just how heavy is "heavy", Eric...?

Awesome beast...!

The "eights" a short-scale... are they 30"/34"...?

gweimer · March 30, 2010, 08:38:42 AM

Why is it that all the cool stuff starts showing up when I'm broke? $:-\$

Dave W · March 30, 2010, 08:56:41 AM

The 8-string is up to $1400 already with more than 6 days left. So much for the possibility of this one going cheap.

saltymonkey · April 06, 2010, 05:45:48 AM

Whoa, ended at $2687.00! I'm sure it's worth it but way out of my league.
