I'm on it Mike!
I really am, as hard as that might be to believe. But not a lot of time between school and work. And when I do get a moment of time, I'm probably dozing off or getting a bite to eat! I'm not a fan of the getting up at 6/7AM jive, but that's how it's going to be for a couple weeks more.I hope Rob's still cool with letting that thing go, man. Almost there!
welcome to the little group of CharvelJackson owners here among the majority of "other" brand names, C/J's are well known, but certainly the minority around here.
Glad you could stop by and say hello.
I saw one of these at The Bass Place several years ago and gave it a whirl. This thing was expensive, around $2100 IIRC. Spruce body, mahogany neck, basslines p'ups. It sounded and played fantastic. The body was very resonant. The neck was compound radius and was unbelievable. I've been sold on that concept ever since. This bass was aptly named, too. Very light. Around 7-8 lbs. Balanced perfectly. It looked a little odd, but I shied away because of the price.

ya they got a little crazy with the Anti-Gravity series. they started them in 2003, and who knows how many they made????
Hey Andre, maybe your KW is worth 4 grand now??Seems like prices are getting higher on these in the meanwhile!

For 4 grand I start thinking about putting the Winger on my 'Go-List'.
it's been a bit gang, but here's my latest addition to the Charvel/Jackson basses in the family. a clean LEFTY Charvel 2B.
I hate to say it, but I have NEVER SEEN A LEFTY version of the "B" series basses before.... UNTIL NOW...
I'll post a bunch more when I finally get the thing home

I'll jump in, too!
Just (a week ago) got this Jackson C5A "Concert Bass". I put some La Bella tape wound flats on it. Sounds awesome! The bridge p'up doesn't have as much volume as I'd like, but on the neck p'up the thing booms! Really solid, seemingly well built.
Oh, yeah, this pic taken while awaiting delivery of the B string

oh you didnt say the Pea-KELLY thing was on its way in the other places, so it's a surprise to me, and ya that transred KBX is so nice, and so out of my price range at this time of the month
ya Andre a couple hundred from ebay my first REAL lefty bass ever, and it just happens to be a white Charvel 2B as a bonus to feel right at home with the others.
ya the excitement is almost "KID-LIKE" --haha
next I'll have to find a lefty 3B if they ever made such a thing??
my point of posting is congrats to all of you, but has anyone ever seen an assemblyline lefty B series? cause they did make reverse necks for the righty bodies.

Yeah...I guess I've been pretty busy lately and trying not to think about it too much, hoping it'll get here quick!
that's Vain1's 3B
Awww, dude...thanks for hookin' me up!!! Talk about a trip down memory lane!!
How often do these basses pop up and how much do they normally go for when they do appear?
I can't remember what Vain paid for that one, I think the story was it was found in a pawnshop, and IIRC, it was 3hundred something...you'd have to ask him directly.
