My guess? It sounds like a Jazz bass.

For some reason, any discussion of wood and tone on TB degenerates into two camps' viewpoints: one that thinks the wood makes all the difference and one that thinks the wood makes no difference.

And for the record: IMO the wood makes no real world difference. Note, I said IMO....

Spruce is commonly used in violins, DB's, guitars and other stringed instruments, particularly for their top pieces. The surprise should be that spruce isn't used in EB's more often.
As for this particular bass: ugly as sin. Even uglier than some of the Wishbasses and other weird crap out there. No wonder Jackson stopped making them. I would sooner give my soul to the Mothman than spend that much on something that looked like that.

What did it sound like? Sounded like every other Jackson I have over here, nothing special to me anyway.
AND they want a grand too much for what it is ( or isn't ). the trans blue one was 1595.00. It always reminded me of another take on the Collen bass they had around in the early 90's ( which I still have  )
