For the last 2+ years JOE has been saving up his talking energy just so he could talk about his jr. Today and the next time we hear his voice will be in 2025 about his HEADLESS, KNOBLESS AND ALMOST BODYLESS BASS .
It's gunna be one string on a fretless neck. Tuning will be done without a tuning machine. The body will be a pickup attached to the neck with a solid piece of wood and a small palm rest. Audio will be through a small BT transceiver so you can record directly to your smart phone for streamline modern music production.
@@fknWorldSeries I am very aware, I've got a nice squire j-bass and a Schecter stilleto studio. It's more just that I've wanted to get a short scale bass and/or a music man recently and this would be right down my alley. Also limited addition is always fun
come at me Deiter Rahms. Come at me bro. Like, whatcha gonna do? whatcha gonna do? like, come at me. right, um hey Deiter, like seriously, seriously. like, come at me, I don't care.
That bass better be made from Greek Goddess breast milk resin for fucking $2,300. Otherwise, you could literally make this shit yourself from Warmoth parts.
Personally I think the single volume knob on the JD bass was a little too versatile. Vlance Armstrength would never use a volume knob on his single-speed bridgestone
I can back @Vulf on this one as a big ol' weirdo who loves Fender designed basses. Nearly every instrument he ever designed was on the basis of being friends with country and western musicians and liking country and western music. When he showed the sting ray to people they were like "Bruh, what is this, it's sooo bright" He made a prototype bass with a 5 string pickup on a 4 string model to address this (and actually scientifically there are some major advantages to using a 5 pole piece pickup on a 4 string bass).
the business mind of Jack Stratton is not even out of this league - he's literally playing a different game than the rest of active-push-over-bass makers out there. This is versatile, YOU're not versatile
Summary: It's cut from a tree, sized for a scaled-down Pino, and best listened to via a screwdriver. If that doesn't scream VERSATILE, I don't know what does.
"Everything about my specifications were taking into account to build the bass that in my hands would simulate the feeling of being Pino Palladino" yeah, we all feel the same way, thanks for this Joe
I've never met Joe Dart, but assuming he is 5'10", the ratio of his height to Pino Palladino's height (6'8") is almost exactly the same as the ratio of the scale length of the Joe Dart Jr. bass (30") to the original Joe Dart bass (34".)
