Dean JAE Fenderbirds

About 80% of the guys buying JAEbirds want mods and are willing to pay for them.  I think I'll always be able to give good value for what is a semi custom bass.  Thanks in part to Scott and Mark putting in a good word over at TalkBass things are going very well.

Thanks, Jim...and OldManC.  I hadn't read either of your posts when I posted...too busy routing mahogany 'birds.  How did those Barts sound preamped?

  I am excited to say I have just put my deposit in for a black and maple JAE ! I had a nice phone conversation with Carlo today, great guy and it was fun talking about Fenderbirds and such. Carlo if I was stepping on you while you were talking I'm sorry, terrible delay and slap back on the cell.

THANKS, Scott!  I enjoyed talking with you.  As far as stepping on me, not at all.  I think it might have been the other way around, a little too much coffee this AM.

EMG has been making a line of Lo Z pups for a few years now.

EMG's are Hi-Z with a built-in preamp AFAIK.

Those DEANs look cool, if you can ignore the headstocks completely ofcourse

Their site specifically says the base model uses EMG Hz, which is a passive pup.  About $90 street price and I've seen and heard them in $4k basses w/o onboard preamps.  Good sounding pup IMO.

That Picture of John in the Sunn add is a image I remember vividly, for me Black and maple with a white guard is the only way to go...........................white has me tempted though, maybe a white one with one pup ooooooooooooo the possibilities !

The Dean headstock looks a lot Like RS Guitar Works headstock.

Without bringing Alembic and Warwick into the equation . . . .

If we concentrate on the FenderBird. . . . .

Extract from my blog - Peter Cook feature "words from the man himself"

"John said he liked the T'bird body & fittings but he preferred the
Precision neck – he gave me the hardware and I did the rest.
When the pickups & bridges ran out I made them as well.
I think there were about six Fenderbirds and 6 Explorerbirds . . ."

So, in theory. . . . . . . They are "Peter Cook" "Tributes"

A rare, perhaps unique picture of them together.



"Here's one he made earlier!"  



Bit of a Blue Peter gag!  For those not in the UK, it was a kids program, that
amongst other things, showed you how to build Rocket Ships, etc - out of
washing up bottles and cereal boxes!!

Cheers.

I think it was from "Blue Peter" (not a sad Peter Cook) that the pythons got the line "And now for something completely different..."
