Jackson CMG Concert Bass, Trans Black.

[BassJase]

Sad times, but now my Jackson CMG Concert bass is up for sale.
Really don't want to let this go but unfortunately needs must, so I hope someone here will give it a good new home.
Its my Jackson CMG Concert bass in a tasteful Transparent Black finish. Its an Alder body with Flame Maple veneer top, with bolt-on Rock Maple neck and Rosewood fingerboard, loaded with two EMG PuPs and all black hardware. Sharkfin inlays and white binding around the fretboard and headstock, and maaaaaaan it sounds great. Usual 34" scale and a nice profile neck, not too heavy by any means and I'll be really sad to see it go!

I've used this for loads of rock and metal gigs, but the sound can be tailored for whatever you wanna play on it, I did a video recording of some Stu Hamm stuff on it because it was the best bass I had for tapping clarity and tone.
The action is currently set pretty low by my standards (so thats probably waaay too low for most people) but I can obviously adjust that before posting. The frets have had a good clean and its in overall very good condition, there's a hairline scratch on the upper horn which I'll show in photo's and I'll outline any marks or dings on it just as soon as I pick it up from storage on Wednesday.

Heres the Jackson website link to them;

..although the current models have graphite nuts on them I'm not sure if this is graphite or not, how do you tell?!?
Mine is about 6 years old now, sent direct to me from the Jackson factory in Florida if memory serves me well.
Here's a few basic photo's, I'll get much better ones up on Wednesday...










Apologies for the quality/size of the photo's, its all I currently have of it. (Yeah its the Black one in the pictures!)
It'll be sent in a good-enough gig bag and obviously will be fully insured. Looking for £350 for it delivered, or £335 collected from myself in North London.now

VERY nice....

I'm tempted.... but as I prob need to sell some stuff myself, I shouldn't buy other stuff! lol!

Right, here's a few pictures to wet the appetite...

I've tried my best to highlight the goods and the bads, the finish is overall great except the hairline scratch on the upper horn, and the buckle rash and scratches on the back (this is a well gigged bass, but its still in good condition considering.)
After getting it out of storage I realise the frets could do with another polish, but apart from that its all good. Either thru-body or normal bridge stringing, and tasty mother of pearl sharkfins to help release the inner metal player in you......

The pointy headstock hasn't had any bonks which is quite rare for Jacksons and Charvels like these, and I forgot to mention but the pickups are EMG-HZ's and the EQ is active, giving loads of tonal scope. And I've never changed the battery in all the time I've had it and its still going strong, so no chance of it letting you down on a gig.















Is nice....
