2x18 Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 (edited) I have come to the conclusion that 5 Strings are not for me,----- Its a made in Japan model about 10 years old but in good condition for age, and has Duncan designed pickups and active circuit. 34" scale with almost flat neck radius and good string spacing ( approx 18mm at bridge ) Nice low action and it comes in the correct well used but servicable Jackson /Charvel Fitted Case What have you got? I am in Leeds and you are welcome to come and Try it out [attachment=27254:DSCF1128.JPG][attachment=27255:DSCF1129.JPG][attachment=27256:DSCF1133.JPG][attach ment=27257:DSCF1134.JPG][attachment=27259:DSCF1135.JPG] Edited August 17, 2009 by 2x18
molan Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 I know this is going to sound really dumb but when I first saw the title of this listing I read it as: Lovely Jackson 5 . . . String Bass And I genuinely thought it was a custom bass with some sort of Jackson 5 mural painted on it, Well worth a free bump from me anyway!

What are the pickups like?[/quote] The pickups and active circuit are Duncan designed Its not your typical Jackson hard sound. Sound wise I would say its a good Jazz bass sound but much more versatile A very good warm sound but it can be made to sound very bright if you need to. Probably not ideal for slapping to be honest, but great for any other style and it cuts through the mix very well. You are welcome to come and try it out! Will.
