JMI Backstage: Jones Basses

Backstage is the members' room for Jones Musical Instruments, the bass company built by Darryl Jones, who has played bass for Miles Davis, Sting and the Rolling Stones. THE WALL Post your rig, a tour story, or a technique. Comment on what other players put up. Photos welcome. Most of what goes up here is somebody's bass. ASK DARRYL Ask about playing, tone, or the instruments, and upvote the questions you want answered. The archive answers many of them in Darryl's own words, quoted from his interviews. CLAIM YOUR BASS Own a Jones? Enter the serial number and claim it. Verified instruments carry a gold badge and sit on the Gear wall beside the player who owns them. BUILD Spec a custom bass: body, neck, pickups, finish. The build sheet goes straight to the shop. LESSONS Footage of Darryl playing, and talking through how he does it. Free to every member. EVENTS Clinics, club dates and shop visits. Dates go to members before they go anywhere else. Membership is free. The account is what keeps the wall to players who put their name to it.
