  • '70's San Dimas bolty?



    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.

                  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.

                        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???
