Jackson 5-String Bass

Kenix700 · #1 02-28-2009, 12:45 PM

I got a call from my mom who was at an estate who says they had a 5-String Jackson Bass with a hardshell case. I dont know much about it besides that its red. They are going back to see what model number it is.

The price they are asking is $150, but im going to have her try to haggle them down to $100.

When i get the model does anybody think they can give me an accurate price? I know nothing about guitars and neither do my parents.

I'd grab it, as even a Model series bass should fetch that much if you flip it.

That looks like a Jackson 5 Concert (C5A). I haven't played one myself, but I've heard they are very nice basses. Nice score!

Yeah thats what the guy from Jcfonline said.

He said its was made in 2000 and retailed for $745.

So what do you think of it, how does she play? I like soaps myself, I have them on my Carvin BB75. How's the slap tone?

This is my first bass i have owned, and i played one for the first time about a month ago so really dont know how to play anything. I also do not have a bass amp.

But it plays very nice acoustically. When i play really hard though i get a lot of buzz. Is that normal for a bass guitar?
