New Rickenbacker Inspired Jackson Bass
- Thread starter GeoKinetic

The red one is pretty! But I can't imagine Rickenbacker just letting this slide...
Please Jackson guitars, enough with the 80's style headstock!!
Pretty naff to my eyes - if I wanted a Ricky I'd buy one. And I agree the headstock looks terrible against the trad design cues everywhere else.
Has Jackson been a bit ruined since FMICorp bought it?

Ric has necks with just dots so they have already reeked their revenge.
I can’t help feel that someone at Jackson is having a dig at John Hall...
i won’t be buying one but i do appreciate the sheer trollishness of it!

i think it looks nice...but it's kind of funny.
It’s kind of the bass design equivalent of three toddlers in a trenchcoat trying to get into an R rated film.
My thoughts exactly! Tempted to call it the Soothice...
Eh, it's really just a PJ bass with a Ric bridge, which to me seems like an incredibly awful choice...I doubt Ric will care.
can't ignore that pickguard. and the bridge pickup cover but no neck cover.
Believe it or not pointy headstocks and 80's style models were one of the biggest trends in the second half of 2020. They're definitely back in style for a lot of people. I love them.
Offer it without that Hair-band headstock and I'm intrigued...
The black one looks great. The other colors are a little too bright for me.
So, in a nutshell ,,,,,,,its just another P/J.
pickup placement looks to be more like a Ric than the traditional PJ positions
