except a bolt-on for under 1000.00 like the CMG, not a customshop NT@4grand
exactly. although i'd prefer it was a neckthrough, like my 3b

if I ever find a 2b lefty in crackle, my 3b crackle righty will be for sale ( but don't hold your breath )...lol
I actually just sold my concert-V for a lefty Forum3, which for me was more important as all it did was sit in the case getting unused

I really hope this signature model comes to fruition, and that its the exact same specs that david uses, ie. neck thru and quality pickups.......and that its not custom shop price.......heres hoping
I honestly can't wait, they will probably announce something at NAMM. I hope they make a 5 string concert, maybe bolt-on and neck-thru models at different price points. If they keep the CMG in production hopefully they drop the price to like $500 or something that's more reasonable.
I would love to see a reissue of a US Concert 4 and 5, and would love it to have 19mm spacing.
Maybe even a Futura model again.
All with pointy headstocks!

That is great news, custom shop prices will be expensive though. I want them to do a standard production model.
What do you reckon the spacing at the bridge is. 18mm,19mm maybe. Doesn't look like 17.5mm.

im worried about prices too. Hey jcburn, u reckon we'll be able to buy em here in australia, i get the impresion its only to USA customers, as they said only custom shop dealers and we dont have any?
Yeah probably not. All the more reason for them to do a standard run, at least then we could grab them online. Seriously a custom shop job will run at $3k - $4k. No bass is worth that in my opinion, not for me anyway but I would love one all the same.
I owned one of the late 80's Convert V's - didnt like the narrow spacing, which is why I sold it, but man it looked and played cool. I love that headstock!

$3k-$4k dam i was expecting $1,500 -$2k, didn't think it would be a custom shop but yeh i guess we'll have to wait until it becomes a standard run, which it better.....
haha
haha
Too right - guess I'm gonna have to make do with a Frank Bello sig Fender I have coming from the States!
Seriously though if Jackson start making some production line Concert basses (4 and 5 string) I'm sure there would be a market. I think they tried to change their appeal in the '90's and lost their metal/rock market. Now that they are owned by FMIC maybe they can concentrate back on their niche market.

So it turns out there's only going to be 60 total made of the signature basses.
But at least it says Ellefson is going to be working with Jackson, so hopefully that means the return of 5 strings & pointy headstocks.
Also I noticed in the vid he says initially through custom shop, so I think that means the Rust in Peace edition is custom shop only, and there will be mass production signature editions eventually.

Amen dude - and by the way - your name is hard to say!
i have a bad feeling that the production models are going to be cheaper quality bolt ons, i sincerely hope they are the same as his exact ones, but i dont know...
oh please, they could have had Dave play a Charvette with his sig on the TR cover and people would buy them 
provided the price is right
look at all the crummy looking FLEA basses that have sold because of the name.
I'm not a gear snob, or a "I have to be like ____ and will buy one tomorrow" type of person....and they SHOULD use a emg 35-j and 35p4 soapbars like in my older Jackson. Much better tone IMO than the 35DC's.

I'm a a big fan of his, i've always told myself i dont wanna buy a sig bass, but his is the only one i would ever consider. I would only buy his bass however if its the same as his, not a cheapo version even if it has his name on it, because a poor instrument will always be a poor instrument no matter the name on it. Thats why i hope they start making these higher quality jackson basses as a production line soon.
.
what they NEED to do is bring back the old Ellefson Tbird bass line
here's his old one that was for sale years ago:
way too much for me at the time, so I said F-it, and bought the next best thing that was available. ( I still have it )

haha those basses are pretty sweet. Where'd you get that black concert 4 neck thru you posted on a previous page, that is like the ultimate jackson for me, maybe a concert v tho.
