  • Strange Jackson custom shop Matrix bass

    Auction for a cool one off from the custom shop. Interesting body shape.

    I always thought it would be cool to jam with Keanu.

    Same here, but I was never really into the Wyld Stallyns. And didn't they use Steinberger's in that movie?

    Also that was a production shape, I think. I've seen 2 others before this one. The graphic looks pretty neat, imo.

        Yeah, the first Bill & Ted flick they had Steinbergers, the second one they had Gibsons. (I've seen them way too many times )

        Ah, didn't realize that Matrix bass was a production shape. But now that I think about it, I have never looked into what Jackson makes for basses...

          Anti-gravity bass. I had no idea he was a spaky left-hander LOL (as am I, I should mention, I just don't hold a pen in such an awkward looking way!)
          Popular is not the same as good
          Rare is not the same as valuable
          Worth is what someone will pay, not what you want to get

                Me too.

                Keanu too. I have seen a live video of his band Dogstar, and he plays bass right-handed.

                  Interesting Jackson allowed the non-traditional logo. I've seen a Jackson soloist with the matrix graphic years ago on the JCF but thought it had a regular logo.

                  BTW, the seller is pimping Keanu out on other things too!:

                      This was years ago - Jackson have done a ton of different logos through the years. I'd love to see the Soloist with that graphic though! Scott Ian had a JJ with it, but never seen it on a Soloist..

                        Some celebrities are right handed but do the 'autograph' thing with their left hand to prevent copies of their signatures from being put on checks and documents.

                            Did mike learn paint this? I remember he had something on his website years ago with a matrix-style paint technique.
