Hi jackson players,

I'm new here, pretty new at playing bass too (playing for about 2 years now) and I own 2 jackson basses.
My name is Mark by the way, and I live in the Netherlands.

Here are my basses





If anybody knows anything about these basses, I would love to know.

And offcourse thank you amimbari for pm'ing me about this forum.

your welcome Mark. I'll let the other members check your stuff out, since I already know what you have, and you have seen pics of my C/J family al over the TB.

one of our members (Chowderboots) has a Kahlerized C/S Kelly NT, and he will love to see your EMGized Kelly, as well as (Peabuddy) who sold it to him as well as the others who enjoy looking at a nice condition Kelly.

Thanks everyone for the comments

welcome!!

I have seen a couple on ebay in the last few months, none that look like mine though. Mostly pj like pickups and no sharkfins, which i think is the coolest thing about mine.
I am planning on getting some black hardware to make it look a litte bit more evil

[amimbari]

the ones you are looking at on Ebay MK, are the common ordinary KB1 crap models...you have a 2002 KBX. I think I posted that somewhere for you, but in case you forgot....there's your reminder

the KBX is a lot more rare than the KB1 so hang onto it for a while!!!!

would I pay close to a grand for one in mint condition?..nope
would someone else who want's a mint KBX to add to their collection? yep.

Welcome Mark!!!!!

[Chowderboots]

Oooh nice Kelly, man!! Welcome to the JCF bass players' section!

Those are both gorgeous basses. And they look like they're in fantastic condition. I bet you're happy with them!

[mattmarathon]

Welcome aboard!!! and yes nice Kelly, I just picked up an early 90s KB1 put emgs on it... LOVE IT!!

[amimbari]

ya matt I was not intending to insult you or anyone with the "crap kb1" thing in my old post, but compared to a KBX, they are not as collectible ( at least to me they aren't ).

no insult at all.. they are both a bit too small bodied for me... I love those early 90s professional necks.. poplar body is lightweight... the is going to be a roadwarrior for me.

another custom shop is in order next.

[Chowderboots]

What kinda custom are you thinking about, mattmarathon?

What kinda custom are you thinking about, mattmarathon?

I keep leaning to something pointy... I have to get rid of a couple of other (non Jackson stuff) basses that I just dont use anymore...

I am thinking
Death Warrior
War Angel
or Warrior

any of these would have to have an XL body scaling as I am a bit tall and most basses look small on me.. Im talking like a 10% increase...

[Chowderboots]

I'd say go for the plain old Warrior! It looks just slick in bass form.
