Yeah I like how a guitar store gave up on straightening the neck, but they're willing to sell it with the assurance that "all it needs is a good straightening"...

The KBX was started 2001 IIRC, still a bolt on, but with the shark neck instead of dots like the KB1 dot neck.
2002 it came with the EMG's like the Concert CMG's, and that's the one I would buy if it was available...
NT? perhaps only C/S did it that way....

I know the KE2 guitar is neck through, not sure about any bass versions. May have to look into it a bit.
What kinda Jackson did you have, MoBeach?
I believe that the only Kelly basses that were mass produced were bolt on. For a neck through, you'd probably have to snag a CS model.
And about that KE1 on eBay...aren't you only supposed to turn the neck a little bit and wait for it to settle? Maybe they did that, but they phrased it in a way that makes them sound a little impatient. *crank crank crank*

Saw it, but I've decided that I want a pointy Jackson. That's just what a Jackson is to me: pointy.
thanks for the heads up, the moron did not add "jackson" to the title, so no, I didn't see it, but it is on my watchlist--will he ge a grand?--who knows???
Wow, that's a nice bass! I love the colour but it's too expensive for me, with the added shipping cost and the taxes I would have to pay... It looks awesome though.
I keep trying to tell the FenderFreaks that P/J just means:
(P)ointy
(J)ackson....lol
as far as that C/S being nice, it is totally but NOT 1000.00 nice....I already have one of those NT's with the older larger headstock and tuners and who cares that mine is a P/J preampped and not a HH EMG config when there is a 800.00 difference in price from what I paid the 3b works for me.
I'd bet you would trade in your Fender if you could get a StarBass if you found one for the right price in a trade bass for bass.....
I always wished they made a Warrior BASS on the mass production line...
ya, ya I'm doing the Aerosmith again:
"Dream on"
lol, well your loyalty to Fender would be compromised if you dumped one of the 10 for a Jackson.Well....Since I have ten Fenders I think I could probably part with one.
You would be branded a FenderTraitor OR perhaps a FenderTrader if the deal came around huh?...
hey RUSTY, weren't you the one looking for an Eliminator?
I'm sure you saw this, but for those who didn't:

Wow! Looks just like mine! With a case and free shipping!
What does he mean in the description... "The original owner installed a micro switch, and eliminated the switched jack for the active electronics."? Something to switch the actives off? Like an active passive switch? Would other mods be required to the electronics for that?

off the top of my head guess??..the dingbat probably just eliminated the 3 pole input jack or broke it, and uses the switch to turn the battery off
cause that switch would have to be a 6PDT switch to take the preamp out of the wiring and use the pups as passive, which I highly doubt the guy did.
my FIRST statement is probably true --hahha
who knows....
although I'm not an Eliminator fan, if it was white, I would have bought it already since my cash flow and Gas are equal again this month.. Good luck to anyone here that is gonna buy it, cause 250 including shipping is a good deal ( TRC gone? has the trussrod been cranked to the point of failure? who knows ) but for the price either way...yep, good deal.
