David Ellefson Jackson bass

But the biggest question remains, as I still see Ellefson whoring the Peavy's from a few years ago in the Euro bass mags: What company will he claim is truest to his vision next?

Expect the new USA Customshop Limited Edition Ellefson RIP Concert Basses to run around high 2000 and low 3000 for both the 4 and 5 string respectively.

They come in Black or Quicksiilver and will have an RIP logo on the hardshell case and come with a Biohazard wrist guard.

Only 60 pieces being produced so order now through select dealers!

This is great marketing on Fender's part and I suspect cheaper import models should surface if these sell well.

All I know is I've got dibbs on 2!

but that's the biggest issue that people on here have been discussing for months...

3-4grand is just not practical for bringing back the pointys..NT/BO whatever, that's just a small run of a sig series which is s.t.u.p.i.d!!...
Talk to Fender or Gibson already about sig series for 1000-1500.00, they will sell you plenty of models for that.

and even though it is leaving out the masses for purchasing such an expensive bass for 3-4grand, they BETTER HAVE EACH AND EVERY ONE SIGNED BY DAVE
( no offense to anyone, but if I had to pay 4grand for something, it would be a Jackson custom made to MY specs, not some fan-club model )
I'll wait for the cheaper ones to surface next year

For $2700 i'd sure as hell get a brand new BC Rich Custom shop or Jackson USA.

I found a used Ellefson 4 string at a local GC. Price is $250, thoughts on that? Good deal?

I would say that is good even if it is the older version with the knobs in a row and not in the 1/2 moon config...if it IS one of those gen2 versions, then oh ya even a better deal

I played a 5 about 6 months ago. It felt and sounded really good, but the bass boost in the preamp was rediculous. I don’t know if it was a boost-only, but I had to roll it all the way back for it to sound “normal”.
