Great Bass
This bass has always interested me, but it falls into the "not really my taste" kind of instrument. I knew that it would do anything and everything musically. It just did not check off the vintage vibe. I got over that and bought it. IT is a solid instrument. The controls are backward (meaning the knobs turn the other way and the bass is first on the pre-amp. It is simply a quirk of the instrument. The neck is fast and easy to play. I really like the compound radius. I have absolutely no opinion about the roasted whatever type of wood it is fret board. If it did not say on the specs, I would have assumed it was rosewood. Go figure. The photos do not do this bass justice. The finish looks more like a blue and green dragon than whatever the pictures on this site show. Finally, I like the headstock. Jackson headstocks have always been a bit too pointy for me. This one is more squared off and has a simple J for the logo. This is a great instrument.
