Help identify Jackson professional Bass

[penatuna]

Hi,

Does anybody have any information about this bass? Bought it in 90's. Thinking about selling it, but does not have a clue what price to ask

Any info highly appreciated.

Serial: J300145 (made in japan)

Looks like a 1993 Futura.........

[amimbari]

no it's an Eliminator. I had a red one. Futura had no bodyline and a different knob config.
MIJ, what it's worth? hard to say 300 maybe if I wanted another one.

[amimbari]

mine was a Charvel branded neck, but the same thing....I think the Jackson neck version was offered for one more year than the Charvel US catalog version.

Look at The Charvel Eliminator Bass here http://audiozone.dk/guitargallery/?c...n%2FPage25.jpg
Sure has the shape of the early Phil Collins Guitars BTW..

Look threw the gallery here http://audiozone.dk/guitargallery/?c...son_Charvel%2F

Here's a 5 String that never made it into the catalog http://audiozone.dk/guitargallery/?/..._Eliminator_V/

BTW Welcome to the Forum penatuna
If I had any extra dough laying around in the Bass Buying fund I'd offer you some on this Bass..
BUT I'm broke down & Tired besides my 1986 2B is working fine anyhow & I have a Kramer Short Scale bass too..

I like the way it looks & I bet it plays fine..
Good Luck!!

[Nimitz]

you all doubting my bass knowledge again?

Never man you are the Charvel/Jackson Bass guru IMO...

[WRC]

I don't doubt it either..
BUT I had the answer before you posted & was getting links before I posted..
Haha!!
I have that catalog somewhere in my stash.

I saw the video of you playing that RH bass backwards..

Thanks mates. This one is very similar with my Jackson pro. Only differences are: My bass has Jackson pro logo and pickups have Reflex -text printed on 'em.
I'm mainly a guitarist and don't play bass very much nowadays. That's why I'm thinking of selling it.

[amimbari]

I have that catalog (EDIT): somewhere in the closet with my stash.

I saw the video of you playing that RH bass backwards..

you must be young with a good memory still. I forgot I made that video with the thing flipped fukking with Jacob from Age of Evil playing one of their songs right before he got his customshop and showed it to everybody here...

Young?? No!! I'm 45.. My Youngest son is 20 & the oldest is 28..
I feel older than I am..

That is a nice Bass & I wouldn't mind having it as I would play it..

The Reflex Reds Pickups were Charvel/Jackson Active pickups from the mid 90s with a epoxy potted preamp, see this link that shows some for a guitar. NOTE: The logo on the bottom om the box..
http://acapella.harmony-central.com/...Reflex-Pickups

As long as their working they'll be fine, If something goes array you'll have to replace it all as the preamp won't no longer be available, Go with EMGs or Passives..

This isn't a classifieds area BUT the BASS PLAYERS around here read this section, Post a price if your really wanting to sell the bass.. You never know.. Or put it on eBay..
Good Luck!!

45 is young compared to my old ass at 51 And I have also seen a few units from back in the day with the 3 dipswitch pickups on them still. I never had a set of the reflex so I can't compare to the OEM regular ones everyone usually has with the standard j2000.

and no don't post a price and if your selling it the mods will get mad and delete it, or the whole thread ( been done before )

[WRC]

Well Then PM Him for a price Then!!

Nice Bass penatuna

[amimbari]

and before this thread dies completely since we are on the topic of Eliminators, here's my Charvel E5
( the 5string versions did not have the bodyline )


and this link is to a youtube vid of someone who has the Jackson version somewhere in the world. They only made a handful of each, but they are out there still.
