well, at least I think it's unusual
dropped into this little hole-in-the-wall pawn shop today. I don't normally go in there because they rarely have anything of interest, having so little room for stock, but decided to go in on a whim this afternoon.
They had a Kramer Striker in the window for AU$650!! so I was prepared for the worst when I went inside.
But what I found pleasantly surprised me. Which is why I'm here.
They had hanging on the wall, a bolt-on Jackson Professional bass. 2-a-side headstock, like you find on the current Concert basses. Actually the body shape was similar to the C-series too, except the rear bout of the guitar was different. It has a kind of "bite" out of it, like this: http://www.bunnybass.com/mia/04_arch...ne_sig6_up.jpg
It appears to have a thin satin finish (or possibly oiled) over a veneered body. Dark meat in the middle of the sandwich, with lighter slices front and back.
2 big-arse Jackson pickups, much wider than J-pickups. They didn't seem as big as a humbucker, but I'm not real familiar with bass pickups.
Don't know if any of this helps at all, but I was wondering if anyone can identify it?
I was tempted to pick it up, it seemed like a nice instrument for the money. But I didn't want to find out that it's an entry-level POS that retailed for more than what the pawn shop is asking.
