Oh man that's a nice looking bass, why does it have such a small bridge though? The one on my concert bass is a lot bigger.
the later concerts got the non-jackson branded bridge for cost reduction I guess.

nothing wrong with it, and there's plenty of Jackson-branded bridges out there for swapping if someone wanted to He says it was cracked and replaced with the generic brand bridge.

here's his AD on TB:

Much to my shame, I never posted the serial number of my Jackson KW when I said I was going to way back in the beginning of this thread :crying:

It's such a great bass and one which I'll never sell. I loved the lacewood so much that I had to have it when I had a custom Sei bass made.

I have no idea what year it is. I'll post the serial number tomorrow and see if anyone can date it for me.

When I bought mine, I had a choice of 2. The other one had the Kahler bridge, EMG's, red quilt maple top and the Jackson logo in abalone.

I bought the lacewood as it sounded a lot better.


The serial number is J101019 so if anyone could date it for me it would be much appreciated. :D
 
The holy grail has been found: TBX bass.

I don't have the money for it (the price will go up) and i'm not even sure the guy will ship it to me (im in the Netherlands) so the best thing I can do is tell you guys to make sure all the other Jackson fanatics know about it.

haha what comment could it have been you removed that was so bad...did you say it was the ugliest thing you ever saw, and pity the fools who actually bought one? :D

if you did....your right!!! but for a collectible only and weighing in at less than 5lbs, I'll find one someday.

It was something like that yes :)
I remembered reading a post from a moderator about calling basses ugly so i decided to remove my comment about the anti grav

no harm in that, yes we are supposed to refrain from doing the "ugly bass" thing, unless you own one. but I have found as long as it does not turn into an "ugly-bass" debate, the mods tend to ignore it. ( but it still is against the rules )

basically it was put into place for people who will bash anything that is not owned by them and plenty of threads got out of control with "mine is better than yours" trash talk....
 
that was a short lived design tommy, it didnt get a chance to be accepted or not by the bassplayers.

epiphone/hamer and many others tried their own version of the hockeystick head units, and were accepted into their own little niche of players who liked the guitar as a whole, and ignored the hockeystick.
 
even Jackson had a small design change thru the years, the original Charvel heads were very long, and then they shortened them up a little bit to keep people happy, and stray away from the "old" and usher in the "new"

somewhere in this thread or the Charvel thread is pics of the 2 that clearly show the size difference.
 
Those pointy headstocks always kept me away from their guitars. Ugly. And dangerous (you'll poke an eye out!)
nothing is dangerous, just retards who don't think before they walk into something....
if your stupid enough to put your face in front of it when the bassplayer is swinging it around on stage your gonna get poked regardless if its a point or a Fenderhead...
all headstocks got tuners also that will whack you if your just plain stupid.....

you think they are ugly, good for you, but please refrain from posts about ugly basses, as it is against the rules here unless you own it...
I own a mess of them, cause to me they are KILLER TONE MONSTER SWEET NECKED PLAYERS that no other comparably priced brands offer me. I never went for the"you must play a xxxxxxx bass to emulate so and so rockstar" garbage as a million others here try so hard to find basses that match their IDOLS, then do nothing but brag or bitch about them. :rollno::rollno:

Wow. Lay off the coffee.

Was joking about the "eye" thing, how many people actually run into headstocks? Lol.

And I didn't make a post about ugly bases, just commented on the headstock. But I'll play by the rules: sure, I own one AND IT'S UGLY!!! (I'm kidding, let's not crucify me for it, k?)
