i have a csm 2B that id put in the nineties somewhere, but with the right set up and strings, these things are fantastic. the only problem ive had is that to adjust the truss rod, you must remove the neck because the hex keyhole is located in the pocket. its problematic because due to the extremely thin neck, i had to tighten mine ridiculously tight, to the point that there was a massive backwards bow without strings, but once i tuned it up, the neck bowed the opposite direction! haha its touchy but overall, an amazing deal. how much were you able to get it for?
I called the guy a few times and i talked him into selling me it for $169.99 and he threw in a free hsc, im good with words
I guess I'll play the Charvel/Jackson resident info "dude" since I have/enough of them.
he was right 86 to 89, 2B's are really nice for a passive bass. 1-5/8 nut, action so low without buzz, and truly FINE fingerpicking basses. I have the whole "B" series 1,2,3,4B, but all the other ones are J2000 pre-amped passive pickups or EMG's.
for 170.00 with the chainsaw case is a GREAT DEAL!!!!
what color is it?

It's cherry red, pre toothpaste logo too
my 2B is black, and it came with a Kahler trembridge already installed. I will say this, thanks to that bridge, it KILLS my other ones for sustain.

wow thats a sweet bass, was the khaler stock or did sombody put it on there before you bought it?
correct, someone put it on there before I got it. No bar, but it makes a hell of a nice fixed bridge.
Have you ever thought about buying a replacement bar, or does it just not support one? (couldnt see why as you said it was a trembridge)
I eventually could get a bar for it, but I don't really have a use for it beyond a nice massive fixed bridge. My Jackson TBX came factory with a 2440 Kahler fixed bridge, a nice big solid string-spacing-adjustable bridge compared to the standard ones they usually put on them.
the "love" for pointy head basses is not common around here, so anytime I can see another user from TB who like's em...It perks me up
I love pointy headstocks lol, they add that feel as though you could attack somebody with it . and if your interested i found a pdf of the jackson catalog that has your TBX in it just to prove to speculators that its not a custom shop order.

I don't use that site, but YA the "speculators" already know it was a production jackson-japan, as I have posts and pics all over this board of it, with a little story behind it.
Oh thats cool, i would have figured you already had a way to prove it, do you know if it came in any other finishes?
most of the well used Jacksons already attacked something with the heads, cymbals, walls,floors...etc...there's very few of them that I have seen without at least one chip in the head...
yes, black midnight blue and sparkle green. here's a couple more TBX's that are owned by "SHARK1" another member of TB. his HAS the pickguard on it, but was not an option in the catalog, so someone put it on...
