Me and my Jackson Bass on stage!

[Vain1]

Look what I found this morning....she's beautiful.

[amimbari]

nice JPB turnip bass Vain...those things always were just weird enough to be strangely attractive like that one that mattmarathon has

[shark]

I know I'm gonna faint if you found one of THESE Futura's (MY GAS bass in this config)!!!!

Wow!

Killer Red Bass. As you said. GAS mode should be full on.

Winger/ Futura Models are great players. Like the dots on top of the fretboard.

man thats a pic from an old post Andre. But a pointy head and a somewhat KipWinger look like yours and many others is killer and in all red---yep

I recently picked up this 89 F3NT pointy for a couple hundred:

Spector pups MOP diamonds and boundNeck



look at the hilarious pre they stick in these things compared to Jackson

Hey Matt - you mention that the Futura is a recent proto - how recent do you reckon? Would be great if Jackson started making these again, pointy headstock and all. Jackson are seriously lacking in the bass department.

[amimbari]

as far as basses go, Jackson was never a great company for a lot of "selection". They bit the dust on that one when Fender bought them out, and they started using the gumbyheads ---yuk!

[Chowderboots]

All about those pointy headstocks.

I am loving the JPB8... want to find a JPB9 next... much better than the C20 Concert body... and the Futura is a proto...

HURRY UP MATT AND SNAG THIS ONE IF IT IS A REAL JPB9 ( I am not familiar with the JPB so I couldn't tell you yes or no )

Yeah - I guess they are trying to appeal to a wider audience with the so called gumby headstock. I just think they should try and corner what they had before - a good rock/metal fan base. Leave the Fender style stuff to, well, Fender(not knocking it, own a few Fenders myself and love them). I think they could better corner a fair market if they reissued -
Concert
Futura
TBX
Just my thoughts.

[amimbari]

You know your one of the very few that remembers the TBX series....
ahhhh the good old Jackson Japanese made days ...lolol

I only have 1 TBX, but a fellow member here ( shark ), has 2 of them, and theres only a few more floating around the world anymore since it was a failure from the start.

I'd buy another one even if it was a bolt-on with a dot neck as long as it said Jackson or Charvel on the sticker I'd be happy.

NO BULLSHIT HOMEMADE FENDERBIRDS, NO RANDOM COPIES WITH A GIBSONHEAD- the real JACKSON deal, or nothing!!!!!! ( even though I still have MY Epi and a Dillion Bird from years ago LONG LIVE THE POINTIES !!! )
