How much do your custom Conklins cost you? A lot no doubt. :p

[guess]I'd imagine at least for his signature model that he wouldn't have to pay much, if anything[/guess]

this time I think I'll ask (if it hasn't been asked already) who are your favourite composers?

They don't cost him anything, he's sponsored by them. I could be wrong, though..

Why is orange jam called marmalade?

[QUOTE=Dubhglais]multiple scale with fanned frets[/QUOTE]

What does that mean in easier English? :p

[QUOTE=Spaceman Spiff]Ooh, here's a question... how exactly is your name pronounced?[/QUOTE]

Not sure how everybody else pronounces it.. but i pronounce it.

Jeen-Bor-din

could be pronounced

Jaoun-bow-din

No idea..haha

:D

looks like its jean "baw-den"...not sure

Jean - How old are you and when did you start playing bass? Also, have you met any celebrities or movie stars?

Earlier in the thread he talked about an encounter with James Hetfield. :lol:

I personally pronounce is Jean Bowdin,, but then again i'm often wrong :thumb:

Mr. Baudin -

I just wanted to ask your opinion of my arrangement of Thelonius Monk's Round Midnight. I'm definitely a fan of your tapping work and arrangement, and would like to see what you think of mine. Pointers and critique would be awesome. Thanks!

(There's the thread where you can find it)

I thought it was pronounced: Jean (john) Baudin (baw-din).

That's how I say it....except I say the 'J' as a...'french' J.

Yeah thats how I say it, like the way you pronounce [B]Jean[/B] Claude Van Damme :p

I say it like John Bawdan. Just seems right to me.

hey jean i really want to learn the song "it's my birthday" but the highest number of strings that i have is 5. so i was wondering if its possable to play on a 5 and if it would be possable to get a tab for it somewhere. thanks

also i noticed that you have done a few songs with mike patton, have yout ever been asked to play in ones of his bands? and how is it working with soemone that is considered to be such a musical genius?

lowsound

From what I recall, it's pronounced Zhjeen Bow-dah

;)

[QUOTE=President Dead]Hey I was just looking at the Pac bass and noticed the Two input jacks on it...

How does this work? and why is it there?

Sorry if this has been asked.[/QUOTE]

hey guys - sorry for the long break. I will try to pop in more often.

I explained this in another thread, but each pickup can be "halved" - I can send the signal to different amps. So I can run low strings into a bass amp, and the high strings into a guitar amp w/ distortion, basically getting 2 different kind of tones out of 1 instrument. Got it? The other thread defines all the knobs and switches... maybe a search for "pac bass" or something... hmmmm.

[QUOTE=Napes]Hi there Mr. Jean Beaudin!

About the crayola crayons? I see theres 64.... I have you ever dreamed of making a 64 string bass??

You don't really have to answer that, I just didn't know what to ask.[/QUOTE]

I think that's called a harp. ;)

[QUOTE=AlmightyPancake]Dear Mr. Jean Baudin,

When are you going to start posting and become an official MX forumite?!


We'd love to see you in some threads, listening to songs, entering bass competitio----- well, maybe not entering bass competitions, because only CoffeeKiller or Bass_Guy could stand a chance, but still....[/QUOTE]

I did post in a couple threads... but I've been trying to stay off the internet, TV etc. - I have lots of practicing, writing and recording to do. If I'm online too much, nothing gets done. No offense to you guys.

[QUOTE=Spaceman Spiff]Ooh, here's a question... how exactly is your name pronounced?[/QUOTE]

in france / or if speak french:
Zjohn (like Jean-Luc Picard) - Bo (like Bow and Arrow) Da (like Dan without the N)

in english:
Gene Bo-dean.

It's too difficult to have people say "jean" in english, they end up saying "John" (which is a more exact translation). I have no idea who came up with Bodean as the pronunciation of the last name.

[QUOTE=JBJ]I was looking at your basses and noticed that you had a fretless (with black beauties it seemed), which got me wondering do you prefer the sound of the fretless to a fretted bass, or is it just for certain pieces? How often do you use it?[/QUOTE]

I prefer fretted. But I do have fun with the fretless - I like the tone of fretless, but it's a little too mellow for what I do. I may have to pick up a couple more fretlesses in the future. I don't use it too often as I don't spend too much time on the 6-string.

i hear theres an 11 string being made for you. how is that gonna be tuned?
your not gonna add a lower string(c#) are you? that'd be really low :amaze:

Howdy! I saw some of your videos and you are just amazing. Thanks for putting up with our questions. ;)


Im not sure if anyone has asked this yet cause it would take days to read the whole thread. But have you ever played/owned/considered buying a chapman stick? It seems like it would be right up your alley.

Hem, I always thought it was Gene Bowdin. Oh well, people can never get my last name right either. Posega.
