20th Anniversary JCS [new pics]
4stringer77:
A big appeal of the JC is the price. With the gig bag, strap and Flame Maple top, I'm assuming the 20th anniversary will be sent closer to the over $1,000 bracket. Still a great deal but maybe more than some of the market will bear for a bass with hard to replace cheap pots and less than stellar hardware. Any idea of the price?

He's finally sharing his red one, eh? Only took him 20 years ;)
I'd be all over this if I didn't already have a super sparkly blue royale one :)

I have a white one and the first thing I did was replace the hardware.
Bass arrives and I check it out. The strings on it were awful, but everything else looked okay. I immediately
knew I wanted a set of Chromes on it. I put them on and start tuning up. The E won't tune - goes up and goes flat etc.
I finally look down and the bridge posts were halfway out of the body! I do not like Gibson 3-point bridges to start with and the Epi version is very much lacking. I went with a black Hipshot SuperTone.
The tuners were meh and manageable but now I had to have black all around, so a set of Hipshot HB6's completed the deal.
Crappy pic but you get the idea.

It's sure pretty in that color!

Maybe the anniversary edition will come with bridge posts that don't pull out.
