I hate flame top and never understood the upper horn fretboard thing, but I've seen worse.

Jackson's a pioneer in extended range electric basses.

If one of his basses has a certain design element, you can be sure it serves a useful purpose.

Also, he's the bassist on this:

Cool video! The bass is not my style but definitely not that bad as far as those kinds of basses go.

any bass that has more than 4 strings is ugly as fuck

the only exception being the bass vi and its derivatives

and the hagstrom 8 string

basically anything with a giant ass fretboard is gross

Yes the man that brought us the six string bass guitar and B strings… on bass guitars… uprights have had low Bs for well over 100 years.. and… the "single" cut body shape.. which is more fugly than the offspring of a pig and a baboon.

Best bass ever. Beautifully crafted and masterfully played.

More importantly Hiromi is insane and all additive time syncopated crazyness.
