Jackson JZB-2

 

Jackson jazz bass, made in the USA. They have been produced for only a short while, so there are not many around.

 

 

The ash body has some nice grain to it, and the neck feels great with it's satin finish. Action goes low which makes it very comfortable to play. The preamp and pickups are EMG which combine nicely. It sounds full and balanced with a lot of tonal options using the preamp. The bass weighs in at 5kg, so it's not necessarily a light instrument.

 

The condition is very good. It has a small damage to the paint near the neck. Otherwise it just has some minor usermarks. The frets are in good condition, as are the neck, hardware and electronics.

The original hardcase is included. Two of the bottom studs have been broken off, but it's still functional with all latches intact.

 

Asking €850

 

I am located in the Netherlands, but could ship at buyers risk.

That's probably a reason why there are so few; anyone looking in the Jackson direction probably isn't looking for a traditional jazz 😉

 

This is a very good alternative for a j-deluxe version of a well known brand though. I like the playability and sound of this Jackson better than similar usa  Fenders of that era that I've played.

I've got a few basses up for sale right now. I'd also happily trade a combination of them for a good playing and sounding vintage Fender..

 

 

Also I'm still looking for different amps to try something new.

 

Update: Peavey has sold

I think it's brilliant. It makes me think of (cool) Charvel So-Cal Strats, conceptually, https://www.charvel.com/gear/shape/so-cal/style-1/pro-mod-so-cal-style-1-hh-fr/2966031599. I'd be all over it if I was in the market for an active bass. Sadly I'm not.

My post was just a joke. Where's the point? As in, where is the pointy headstock that Charvel is known for?

Damn. Soz for missing it.

It's ok. It wasn't a very good joke. 😆
