Jackson Futura 5 Reverse!!!!

[Darksidevader]

Hey guys this is my first post and I'm the proud new owner of a white futura ex with EMGs so I thought that I'd sign up here. I'll post a pic of my bass later but I came across this jem on the 'bay' and thought I'd share.

Wish I had the cash for something like this but maybe someone here would. It's a nice look anyway.

IMO the opposite sharks look off balance... otherwise that looks sweet!!!

Thanks for sharing.

that thing was on my watchlist the very hour it hit ebay...

I think it is pretty weird with those flip-flop inlays...yuk
and it has a yukky price to match..

I guess theres no accounting for taste but it's a custom job so to each his own. I dont like the opposing inlays either and have never been a fan of the upside down inlays with the reverse headstock. I do really like it otherwise though. That thing just looks metal as hell. I'd love to have a nice Jackson neck through though but have never had the money. Looks like the futura would be my only option but thats cool because I like them.

I would never say the futura is your only choice of nice USA basses because your righthanded. There's a member here who "had" ( may still have ) a nice NT 3b style silver SanDimas USA unit that he was trying to sell for under a grand. I already had a few NT Charvel 3b's and never needed to invest a lot in a USA or CS bass that was essentially the same bag of parts.

I'm a lefty and there have been a few very expensive lefty USA's out there, but 3grand is just crazy unless I had it made to the way I wanted it.
