I am in love with everything about this bass except for the price tag. Since when did Jackson start doing stuff like this?

Coolest Jackson I've ever seen but not nearly $4000+ worth of cool, lol.

 

[throbgod13]

it's nice.. but not 4K nice..

 

[BurningSkies]

Its sort of like a point bass, but without the risk of VD that comes from playing a pointy bass.

 

[Righteous Thunderer]

That's definitely not what I expected, very nice! As others have stated, not 4k nice, but nice nonetheless!

 

[waleross]

Nice Candy but too sweet for me....

 

[darkstorm]

That is a nice custom shop one. But pricetag is too high imo

Pre-MCI Jackson and Charvel always did basses but they are quite rare and that hockey stick headstock really does not work on bass. I worked for a dealer mid to late 80's and we always ordered a bass at each NAMM they certainly allowed a lot of freedom and options. They did play like a dream and sounded great but were a bit too pricey for most players but always sold.

they are also selling that thing on ebay..good luck with 4500.00
For those who know me here and my take on Jackson stuff ----- I'm not going to troll this thread and debate or defend hockeysticks.

I have a lot of Jacksons here in the house, but I would never, EVER pay 4grand for one unless it was a custom one off made just for me.

Nice bass. But for 4500 I'd be buying something else...several...of something else...

The Jackson name has a stigma because of the 80's hair bands, but that looks like a fine bass. The sharkfin inlays are a nice contrast.

The guy who builds these, Mike Shannon, has a history of making some great instruments. But I agree, for $4500 that thing had better be amazing. There's a lot of serious competition in that price range.

You could probably buy an authentic 80s one for a quarter of that price,maybe less.

 

[SNOTROCKET56]

If had 4000 to spend on a bass this would not make my top 20

I just bought THREE authentic '80's Jacksons for less!!

 

[dannster]

Nice but for 4500 it should at a bare minimum have a bottle opener and LED's out the wazoo flashing my name up and down the fret board.

They might also have better luck selling it if they listed it under 4 stringers instead of under 5-String Bass Guitars. Doh!

 

[UnfortunateTony]

Cool. But you can find old jackson basses for a couple hundred that are equally cool.

I would never spend that much money for a bass that wasn't made to my specifications (and it wouldn't be a CS Jackson/Fender). However, if I got offered a gig in a Megadeth cover band...
