Very rare are those who manage to play this title correctly You are one of them. I am struggling for months on it. You video is a great mix of many live versions. It is helping to dig in to every little details.
Yeah ok gunna give you this...Been playing some 40+ years and moved from guitar to bass because of this track.. Bought a JD after some 40+ years of wanting... Looks exactly like yours... Well pld mate a very good job :)
Been playing that bass line since the eighties, on a jaydee since the early nineties, never played it as smooth as that though, incredible job, keep up the good work, cheers
Congrats, great achievement. I see the Physical Presence CD there, that was the gateway album to Level 42's early funk period with the amazing first 3 tracks.
Excellent bass covet of a bass line when played sped up for Live performances that Level 42 played Live has fast become an easy bass line like " Love Games " as we've had decades of hours on cd/tape or vinyl to listen tk the original album version played slower & then the faster Live Version & have had all that time to catch up with what Mark & what he created this bass line but maby decades later... I've only one gripe , if you can call it that , with regards this bass cover of any cult classic by Level 42 & that is you couldve done with a little more bass added but apart from that it sounded spot on... Theres just something about the JD Supernatural Series Series 1 & Roadie Bass Guitars that have their own great sound as John Diggin's had so many players asking him if he could build a bass guitar that was similar to that of an Alembic but at less the cost of Alembic Bass Guitars as they were & still are too expensive to this day & thats when eventually JD Supernatural Series I was born & not only could it produce a similar sound to an Alembic but that sound fast became a part of tge JD Bass Guitars own take on the Alembic & is easily recognised when its played but thus bass is not a one trick pony & has a lot of great sounds but of course the first thing every one wants tp do on it is playing slap style & the only other bass i know has that same ability to make their owners want to olay slap on it is the MusicMan Stingray... " To the player on this upload & brilliant bass cover of " Mr Pink " i say: " Do not ever sell that particular bass guitar , ever. " As they are highly sought after but lets just say i think id be right if i said youd regret ever getting rid of it , but thats not the case but i respectfully request , again , that you never sell that bass guitar " If you borrowed it from a friend to do this bass cover then tell him or her who is the owner to not to ever sell this bass guitar no matter what yiour offered for it!.. In light of this still ongoing coronavirus and its variants stay safe and healthy wherever you are in this world... .....
If you look at my recent comment you'll see its not just in Canada that they are difficult to come by... I live in the UK & its very rare to pick one of these up so i'd suggest you do what i should've done 10 year's ago & put your name down on John Diggins waiting list which is about 16 to 18 months & that way your guaranteed your very own JD Bass Guitar... You might have better luck in Canada but in the UK unless your order one they are like gold dust & 99% of the time are sold privately... If your really serious about owning one then do as i did & dont waste 10 year's as i did hoping i could pick one up preowned... Call or better still email them & do as i have done & thats ask for your name to be added to their waiting list... I always thought one day I'd get one but 10 year's later & im still searching... Yes there have been a few on online sites but more often than not they are well overpriced & the price would still not be justifiable as some player's dont look after their equipment... There is 1 Black JD Supernatural Series II for sale on Ebay from Japan for £2,410.90 plus £129.73 postage & shipping from Japan & im guessing you'll have an Import Tax fee to pay on top of that & what ever that comes to in Dollars or Euro's you'd be better trying to buy a new one by getting on Johns waiting list as it would be the same price or slighlty cheaper as i would depend on what you would want on your JD Bass Guitar... Believe it or not that same JD Supernatural Series III has been up for sale for year's & over many year's i've emailed the Seller informing them that their asking price was way too high, as for year's they were asking £3950.00 plus shipping but now that i went to check it again for the first time in about a month this is the first time that they've actually lowered it to a reasonable price but personally i wouldn't buy it & it would be purely your decision if you were interested in that Black Preowned JD Supernatural Series II Bass Guitar on Ebay... In light of this still ongoing coronavirus stay safe and healthy in Canada & the best of luck aquiring a JD Bass Guitar... .....

A word of caution whatever you do " do not ever sell or trade in this bass guitar " as you'll regret it as i've sold or traded in bass guitar's from the late 70s to mid 80s & i've never gotten them back again, so in a way lesson learned the hard way for me...

Hi, I placed the order for my Jaydee back in March 2015. They said that there's a waiting time until they start building my bass. It was finished in June 2017. But as many Jaydee owners say it's absolutely worth the wait. This one is a Series I with bounded neck and headstock. I wanted to keep it close to Mark Kings first Jaydee. Thanks for your kind words!

@@slogan5786 I've decided to order a JD Supernatural Series I , & the same as Mark's , as I've tired of waiting any show up preowned & like many sought after instruments they rarely show up for sale & if they do theh are gone before can even call the store that has it up on their Store's Online Website...

After i got back into playing my bass guitar & acoustic it didn't take me long to get back to the level I was at & with my now lovd of music & now playing my bass guitar just for fun is so much better as the Music Industry used to take every part of you if you let it & it's best that at times some who are as good or better than big hit signed acts & they are not the latter can be better in the long run as the Music Industry was famous for ripping the soul out of solo acts & bands & I'm glad I walked away as I saw other bands that played from all around my city & country that were mostly all playing the same places but those who got signed looked liked walking zombies & in a very short space of time they went from loving what they did to now having to do it & they had no choice or say in the matter...

To me it is! It's of course a bit heavy (11.2 lbs/5.1 kg) and the gap between neck and neck pickup is quite narrow for popping the string. But I got used to it very quickly. The neck feels like something between Jazz & Precision but I prefer bigger necks due to my large hands. Another thing is that the first fret feels farer away than usual. You need to stretch your left arm a little bit to reach the first fret. Some people dislike that type of construction a lot. If you wanna go for a Jaydee I recommend to try one first!
Been playing that bass line since the eighties, on a jaydee since the early nineties, never played it as smooth as that though, incredible job, keep up the good work, cheers

To me it is! It's of course a bit heavy (11.2 lbs/5.1 kg) and the gap between neck and neck pickup is quite narrow for popping the string. But I got used to it very quickly. The neck feels like something between Jazz & Precision but I prefer bigger necks due to my large hands. Another thing is that the first fret feels farer away than usual. You need to stretch your left arm a little bit to reach the first fret. Some people dislike that type of construction a lot. If you wanna go for a Jaydee I recommend to try one first!
@@slogan5786 I tried the Supernatural Series II a long time ago. The neck feels so huge in my hand 😁
Been playing that bass line since the eighties, on a jaydee since the early nineties, never played it as smooth as that though, incredible job, keep up the good work, cheers
