Jackson Flying V advice

[MERRYKISSMASS2U]

I love my current Jackson. I've always wanted a Flying V. Put two and two together... I want a Jackson Flying V.

I was looking at the Jenna Jameson model.... or the KVX10 or the KV3.


Any advice?

have fun trying to sit down and play

[MERRYKISSMASS2U]

It's not hard with a little practice. Basically, I just want something that looks and sounds awesome. With enough practice, a flying v can be played sitting down.

True, if I was a guitarist I would love a Flying V, but I'm a bassist with an Explorer

haha fancy, the only bad thing is that the tone for my explorer is very metal sounding, so it worked when I was in a metal band, but when I'm just fucking around at home I don't like the sound. But it's just cool when people see it they love it.

Same with a Flying V guitar, people love seeing them, and they sound great all around for guitar tone.

at least the jenna model will get some attention. I really just want it because it's at a great price.

How much is it going for?

430, with shipping, new

[Redballjets88]

wow thats damn good. At guitar center you could probably get a better deal.

[MERRYKISSMASS2U]

Not with the Jameson paint, probably.


The humbuckers are supposedly better in the Jenna model.

[Redballjets88]

Oh, wouldn't doubt it, they would have to add something if they are going to act as if it is a special model.

I NEVER sit down and play. I always stand. Vs have never been a problem with me. I like the Gibson and Jackson V both.

[MERRYKISSMASS2U]

There is no doubt that whatever V I get, it is going to be a Jackson.

indeedido, do you have any advice (or approval of the model I was looking at)?
