Neck thru J/C bass..

[Reene]

Now for starters these are rare.. and I live in the UK. I have been searching everywhere for ages now and have seen none. but while im waitung does anybody want to share piccys of thiers with me? or even sell? If not a neck thru then definatly a USA made monster. Gorgeous instruments.

p.s im Reene, new to the forum, not new to playing bass hard fast and angry just like it should be on my non-existant J/C bass

Cheers guys.

welcome! there's a few bass players here but not many. i have bought several charvels on the evil bay. the model series( the ones with the guitar logo) are just as good in build quailty as usa jacksons, imo ! i have 3 usa sandimas jacksons, well 2 really and a 1 san dimas plated custom shop bolt on. some off mine are in tha gallery. cheers, robert btw the fire crackle in the gallery is better looking in person!

[peabuddy]

reene, i just got a bolt on charvel model 2b with a kahler trem in excellent condition from a forum member. check the thread in the bass section. great guys on here. he just delievered it here to my work today!

[Reene]

yeah 2b's come up every now and then. i look at them wantingly but i know i'm after a neck thru//usa J/C. i dont know what it is.. I currently play a '76 Gibson Ripper, beautiful instrument nice and growly.. but yeh lusting after a 3b or somehitng really.

oh an the firecraxkles do look pretty darn cool

I'm not sure what to tell you, Reene. It's a combination of keeping an eye out and luck. I'm not sure what it's like over there, but in the States, it's a matter of looking through pawn shops and guitar shops and, if you're up to it, the 'Bay. But that's not for everyone.

Apparently this forum is a cool place to hook up with buyers/sellers of J/C lovliness, which I think is just spiffy

[Reene]

yeah i know it's hard. I look through the pawn shops.. but there are two in like a 20 mile radius. one of which is selling a toothpaste neck thru charvel guitar in like a bright slime green for £850.. bout $1500/1600. so i laughed and left.

Cheers guys i'll just have to keep my eyes peeled and my wallet full for any oppertunity.

GOOD neck-thru JC basses are just plain hard to find. I have been looking for another TBX neckthru, but it just is not happening due to the rarity, and the people who do have them still won't part with them ( including ME ): the last one I saw for sale "shark" a fellow JCF member bought it before I could. ( I didn't cut the other 2 out of the picture, cause all of you know which one I'm talking about )

[Reene]

the really really gorgeous on with the mean looking headstock.. beautiful, a tbx would be amazing to fnd but even my hopes arent that high.

SLIME GREEN EH? FOR 1600.00$US--WAS IT THE SAME COLOR AS THIS ONE ON THE LEFT?: That's what SHARK paid for that one when I couldn't bid any higher so now he is the one with a "pair of Jacksonbirds".

I am very happy with my absolute perfect Gibson Clone in the picture before this post, ( the Dillion on the right ) but THE HUGE paddle headstock is RETARDED and UGLY.

Like you, perhaps in the future someone somewhere will sell a neckthru C/J, TBX or not, and I will add another rare piece of Jackson History to my family.

[Reene]

nah not that colour.. was plain. and nice i really like the green sparkle.. in other news i have just started to make my own bass. all mahogany, cos it was free wood.

any good, i like it. whats the price like?

Price seems right to me, but then I don't go by market value (read: popularity), I go by quality. Jackson neckthrough graphic basses are worth $1000 at minimum in playable condition in my opinion.

That said, this has only the P-bass setup, unless there's a piezo under the bridge. Judging by the three knobs, which makes no sense for a P-bass pickup (Volume, Tone, and...?), I'd say it's likely to have the piezo.

Those are rare, BUT they also cannot handle bass freqs very long - they break from the vibrations.
