Does anybody have any info on this??? Never knew Jackson made a USA bolty...looks more like the newer Charvels you see on ebay from time to time with a different logo.

Was Jackson an actual brand in the late 70's?

Looks like a typical Ontario product to me. "made in USA" logo is in the wrong place for a San Dimas era. And no Jackson didn;t exsist until the first Rhoads in '80 It was Charvel up till that point. But if i'm wrong im sure someone will correct me

Can't be a 70's Jackson - it was Charvel until Rhoads, as J-Freak stated.

I'm thinking Charvel Model 2B with a re-logo and parts plate.

That's what I thought :think:

Thanks for the input guys...just out of curiousity, what would be the earliest bass Jackson would have produced?

J0002 & J0003, black & red, both finished 6/16/83, built for the NAMM show. The next bass they did was the Gene Simmons axe bass, J0007.

So your thinking it may be legit?

it may be legit but it's not late 70s. Peabuddy's #1991 has a SD plate but was built in Ontario, which means it was made around '86 or later

I always doubted the notion they made necks only as needed. I'm pretty sure they'd make a bunch of necks and put them in a box, just so they'd have some on-hand if/when the planer or bandsaws went down. That being the case, it shouldn't be too hard to imagine that a neck made in 1985 was not used until 1986.

[maynard]

So from what I'm hearing, there were B/O USA basses, (I had newer seen one till this ad).

[amimbari]

I'm not getting involved because I just don't know what it is. I know it's not a dinky body,(2b) it is a 3-4b body with the large cover, but that's all I know. I thought all that old USA stuff had normal p- config, that thing is - reverse-p

and the switch is on the wrong side???
maybe someone put a plate and neck on it long ago???
