    Default New here. Just saying Hi

    I'm primarily a bassist, but play guitar as well. My main bass for years (before I started to go for more strings) was a Jackson 'Professional' Kip Winger.

    Here it is. Serial number J101019




    I remember buying it and having a choice between this one and a USA model with abalone inlays and EMG's. This one sounded so much better so this is the one which i bought!

    It's just a great feeling bass and even though it has a strange pickup setup, with active pickups and a passive tone control, it's a bass I'd never sell !

    Thanks for the welcome !

    I really like the lacewood. When I had a custom bass built it had to have a lacewood top. Luckily, they had a couple of boards in stock.

    Both of those tops are amazing. Very nice, and I'm not a bass guy!

    Nice bass', welcome! Just to get it out of the way now, GTWGITS means, get the whole guitar in the shot. RacerX is a stickler for that, and grammar

    I know this is going to be grabbed and ran with by someone on here but I gotta say it. You have great taste in wood. Beautiful, just beautiful.

    another bassplayer? maybe in 15 years we will outnumber the guitarplayers here. I never had a KW, just a couple of Futuras....
    I actually liked the 92's better with the 4knob active and kahler bridge, but always loved the lacewood tops as well

    I tend to go for the more "bizarre looking jap NT units"
