AndyTravis Posted January 11, 2021 Author Share Posted January 11, 2021 They need to delete all of them and do these again with classy pickups and pre’s. I had a passive one in red, and it was ace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one is also called Pro Series Spectra Bass SBP (IV instead of V) but looks totally different from the ghoulish green and red ones. How come? Could they not come up with different names? Did not even bother? Oh dear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky 4000 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 It's bizarre. The new Charvel has: Quote licensed Fender® Precision Bass® headstock shape. Then the come out with this Jackson branded... thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyTravis Posted January 11, 2021 Author Share Posted January 11, 2021 So, thinking of the back catalogue of Jackson - they got in bother for this in the 1990’s... Mr Marleaux didn’t take kindly to them pilfering his shape... ”Taking without Consat...” sorry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Horse Murphy Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I think there was a Fusion bass too which looked very similar to the Eliminator. Mind you, I thought a lot of their guitars looked exactly the same too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Horse Murphy Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 They're practically identical apart from the control layout and that line above the bass-side of the pickups. Strange! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
