I would not do that Jack for money savings consideration purposes...
That is close to 200 bucks worth of pickups and EQ parts.

( IMO )

I would get a 3 band EQ out of a CMG,JS3,CBX, or similar..

The 3b has 3 pots and a switch which would fill all the holes and give him a midrange control to cover the scooped sound of the 2 band, which would cost less than 100 for the parts. ( or another 3 band EQ )

However.....I would start out with the 5dollar experiment...throw that stupid pickup switch in the garbage and put a blend knob in it's place..turning on both pickups equally with a switch ALWAYS makes them both cancel each other out slightly. Same with a VVT setup with both vols up full

hey melon, since you have not posted a pic of this thing, does yours have pickups with exposed poles like my old purple 3b?

Attachment 319932
Same color As yours amimbari, not exposed poles. Pu covers with Jackson written on them.

Btw no need to compliment my custom Molson strap locks ! Lol

What would you guys think about me putting a Spector tonepump or Hazlab pre + controls in my all-stock 87 3B? Think it'll get that Spector tone or will this just be a p*ss in the wind?

[amimbari]

if you have it to use, try it...what can it hurt?

Alright. Also considering a badass bridge, think I should roll with the stock black one? I think a gold badass bridge would look pretty sick.
Do you like EMG P/J's or the stock Jackson P/J's better?

[amimbari]

my model2 has jacksons -- i like that
my model1 has emgs ----- i like that
my black jackson bridge does the job -- i like that
my gold washburn look alike does the job -- i like that

my behringer preamp makes everything sound the same -- i really like that.

So I'm looking at buying my first charvel , a 2b , and I was wondering what kind of tone these produce

[amimbari]

you mean this tone? (recorded live with my camcorder )

and my maple fretboard 2b is a little mid-dier

I'm looking for a hard case for a Charvel 2B. They come up occasionally on eBay, but the last one I saw went for $50 + $25 ship, so at that price I'd rather just go with a new one. Does anyone know which aftermarket cases will fit? Or will a modern Jackson case work? Thx,

[amimbari]

the charvel heads are slightly longer than the jacksonheads, but the typical G+G or TKL cheapies work perfectly, they are not moulded but hold the things pretty tight.

I have a challenge for Animbari

Back in the day, Rex Brown of Pantera had an endorsement deal with Jackson/Charvel, which lasted until Far Beyond Driven (1994). While I know for sure that's a 3B in the picture, what kind of paint job is that? It looks like firecrackle but in this awesome blue

....identify this at once!

[amimbari]

well you are close, that is not a 3b because it is a USA Jackson Concert neckthru, not the Jap counterpart and when you ordered a bass you could get it painted any way you wanted.

he also played a 1989 Charvel XL850 >

There is nothing you don't know about Jackson/Charvel

not too many models to look for or know about unlike many other companies that have so many different items.

p.s. I am only assuming that black bass in the link is a 850xl. I make that assumption based on it was the only beveled body neckthru and it must have been used before he got that blue crackle.

[amimbari]

hey gang, picked up this 1990 Eliminator4 ( actually for the case it was in ) The guy before me had a wonky preamp in it and took it out and made it passive. I have another preamp that will eventually go into it and it will get sold, first here in the TB classifieds and if no bites on ebay. It is not in bad shape, a few nicks and such, but the neck and frets are perfect.

I really like the color!!

Do all the Eliminators have that "trough" running up the body. It has been a while since I saw one up close, and don't remember that.

[amimbari]

yes they do... the fusions got the beveled body edges, and the elims got the groove.
