Hi guys and thanks. But no that is not the one i bought. found this one in utah at a pawn shop. and yes theres nothing amimbari doesnt know about jacksons. im starting to realize that. its being shipped now and should be here monday.

Alrighty guys. got a question and need honest opinions. what is the deal with the chris beattie model. ok its a C20 i know but does it really play that good? i know what emg hz sound like and i love emg pups. i have never played a C20andnotto crazy about the body shape but i can deal. just dont know if its worth the price they are asking for and is this model soon to be history?

amimbari · #**164** 02-03-2013, 08:01 AM

I consider it like a Elefson p-bass. a standard model with an oversized price.
The Bettie C-20 is just that. A c-20 with a preamp and different pickups.

I never played one, but I don't think the "new" price is worth it. I would look for a used one if that is what you want.

I have one of the lower end ellefsons and i love it! sounds like a dream. i will try out a bettie if i run across one but i agree with bri450r not seeing a grand in it.

bri450r · #**167** 02-03-2013, 08:09 PM

I love my Ellefson JS3V. I didn't mind giving Dave $50 for a different truss rod cover. The neck is very easy to play.

amimbari · #**168** 02-03-2013, 08:51 PM

actually the CBXV is the more expensive one.

misfittoydave73 · #**169** 02-04-2013, 03:59 PM

It has arrived! got the stone finish concert today my friends. this baby has been sitting for a while! Lots of dust and the pickup screws are rusted so those are getting replaced. Knobs are a little loose but no big deal. Fret board will get a nice coat of oil. as set up with some fresh blue steels and tweek the intonation and its on!!!!!!

Awesome.....enjoy

......Hey Amimbari, What ever happened to Chowderboots?......haven't seen anything from him in a while.

bri450r · #**171** 02-04-2013, 04:20 PM

Ya, I got the CBXV Ellefson...that's what I meant.

amimbari · #**172** 02-04-2013, 04:30 PM

He chowderboots that is has not been on here or the other board for a couple years

Vain1 · #**173** 02-04-2013, 04:40 PM

Last thing I saw on him was that he was selling that Kelly bass that had belonged to Matt Thorr.

Here's a pic of all of my Charvel 2B basses. I've had the red one since the early 1990's and picked up the rest within the last 2 or 3 years. I just picked up the blue one from Guitar Center for about $175

If anyone could help date these via serial number, it would be much appreciated.

Red, 261xxx
Black, 273xxx
White, 246xxx
Blue, 291xxx

Thanks!

3+4 b's have a different body than the 1+2b's and the 3b is neckthru
