    This was posted before, but thanks for the video explaining it because it wasn't announced as a sig I don't think.

    Interesting, I think the Kelly side is a little too small compared to the Firebird side. Still very cool.

    The KellyBird is pretty cool, it has a BC Mockingbird vibe to it. Are they making guitars with that body shape?
    I aim to misbehave.

    Actually, I just contacted Jackson about that, just waiting for a reply.

    I contacted Jackson, and they will do a Kellybird in the custom shop, not sure about a production model though.

    At 3:09 in the video, Dave mentions that an import Kellybird will be available.

    Oh yeah, I know, I was speaking about a Kellybird guitar though, not a bass.

    Which is interesting, given that he used to play Mockingbirds when the band used BC Rich
    I like EL34s.

    no offense to those who think that blue kelly-bird is cool, but COME ON......
    I think it is the ugliest con-cock-tion I ever saw..
    ya so they can't make a full firebird like the good old days...ok, so why don't they just make a straight Indian kelly or star bass for 299.95?

    DE says " oooh look at this sweet unit", and the fanboys go wild -- that is just pathetic.
    sounds like the reaction of the Fender-Fools and I thought Jackson enthusiasts were better than that

    If DE loved STAR basses you can be damn sure Jackson would have an Indian star import instead of that stupid p-bass concert.
    The fukkin p-bass shape is so boring and old it's a joke.

    So someone likes something different than you and gets insulted for it?

    no not really, just voicing my opinion on a model I don't think is "the cat's meow".
    same as people who like hate BCR widow/spiderbass.. If the fanboys love DE and all of a sudden he starts playing them would they change their mind and buy them just because DE does?

    probably so. my post was nothing more/nothing less.

    Interesting. What I liked most about the video, was DE took ownership. It didn't sound like I'm just a pawn spewing how great Jackson is. He kept refering to "us" as if he had ownership in the company. Very cool to see that in my opinion.
