Question?

[Hosedawg]

I was wondering if Jackson ever made a bass in the Granite/Earthquake finish? Or, is this a project for Mike Learn?

[amimbari]

yes they made a concert EX in granite..

Yea, that's similar to what I had seen. The one I am thinking about is a darker finish that has "blk cracks" in the body. I know they made that in a few soloists from around 88/89. I just didn't know if they had the same in a bass.

[amimbari]

you mean arctic crackle?

This '88 strat of mine is not a bass of course, but the graphic is called "Rock" in the trem cavity.

[Hosedawg]

That's it right there Axewielder, I seen a Soloist back in the day around 88/89 in Rockville, Md. I would love to know if they had did that in a bass? I'm sorry to get the name wrong. I google imaged the name granite in Jackson and seen a soloist which they said was granite earthquake cause of the cracks in the body. But that's it.

[Axewielder]

I've only seen one other Strat like it. I'm guessing your chances of finding a Rock bass are zero to none. Mike Learn could surely do it justice. Note how they shaped those irregularities and grooves in the body, it's more than just paint.

[Hosedawg]

Yea, I've noticed that. The one I seen had those also and they were going off on the sides too. I bet that I'll have to get Learn to do one if Im ever going to get one.

[amimbari]

oh I love that cracked rock finish, and ya I never saw a bass painted like that. ( probably because nobody ordered one painted that way and it was being sold somewhere 20 years later ).
Does that mean Jackson did not do it? who knows....
