Jackson X Series Concert Bass CBXNT DX IV LRL Absynthe Frost
Pros: Arrived on time. Packaging was sufficient to protect it in transit. First play: looks great (imho), sounds great and plenty of tonal range. Neck plays beautifully. Lovely snarly aggressive beast. Cons: Setup could be better; a little fret buzz here and there so some tweaking will be required to truss rod and string height. Intonation slightly off so also a little bit of tweaking needed there, but nothing too dramatic. It may be because place of manufacture is Indonesia so some adjustment for European environment needed. Getting its first baptism of fire at tonight's gig.....if I love it enough I might sell my Ricky to fund other stuff 😉
