Jackson basses, Part 2

[Betrayer_Bass]

that Explorer bass is a Kelly. ( the original ). The new ones are called KellyBirds and not quite the same. Although they made an Explorer bass, only the USA shop made em, they were expensive and not readily available like the imports ( Kelly ).

Not that the Kelly basses are readily available now. I held out for years to get a KBX and not a KB1. And the KellyBirds are pretty ok, just not real Kellys I had no idea Jackson made an Explorer bass. Sounds interesting

KBX on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=301039890391

Concert V came yesterday. Im very happy with it. The low B is surprisingly clear.

 

[amimbari]

no Adam thats a KB1, the KBX giveaway is 5 knobs. ( preamp )

 

[AdamR]

Guess they dont know the difference either LOL

 

[AdamR]

Finally restrung my CMG and put a fresh battery in it. What a difference. Now it sounds good. Those old Rotos must have been 5 years old.

 

[amimbari]

i usually check my batteries every now and then....lol I just use a TRS cord and measure the voltage on it. The "open the cover to check" was always a hassle on the fly.

Hey if anyone finds a 90s Jackson Concert V, please pm me, I have been wanting one for the longest time and now i finally have the cash.

*Amimbari I should be getting that Charvel 4b in next week! I cant wait.

 

[AdamR]

They arent easy to find. I got lucky and found one pretty quick but I paid a good penny for it.

 

[mikenel169]

Yea I saw that last week. You responded within the minute!! I must say I'm quite jealous

 

[mikenel169]

I also didnt have the funds of course. I was really upset, I havent seen one on here in forever

 

[AdamR]

That deal was actually made before he listed it. He just wanted the add up for feedback reasons

 

[mikenel169]

ahh well your very lucky, I really wanted a concert v for a long time. The JS series just didnt do it for me.

 

[mikenel169]

Or the CMG, Im just a p/j config kinda guy

 

[AdamR]

Heres a family picture

 

[mikenel169]

Nice! great rig too. Ive heard great things about the 800rb. I also need to grab myself an ampeg 810 someday. I currently have an avatar 410 neo (scored it for $70!) and the Mesa walkabout.

 

[mikenel169]

Whats the weight on the concert v?

 

[AdamR]

The 800RB is killer, Ive been using my Hartke Kilo though. The Concert V isnt very heavy, No clue what it weighs though.

I love these Jacksons though and with the exception of the Concert V I got them all real cheap. I pretty much could have bought all 3 for what I sold my Spector Euro for.

 

[mikenel169]

had a Euro ian hill signature. Was a great bass. sold it for a rickenbacker, then realized i just love Jackson and been on the search ever since

 

[mikenel169]

Bet these are impossible to find
