Anthony Jackson Presentation

II
The Anthony Jackson Presentation II is our first
complete, all-encompassing re-working of the original
Presentation since its inception (as Number 7) in 1987-
88. In our ongoing work with Anthony, Number 7
followed Numbers 5 and 6 (“Anthony Jackson
Contrabass”, 1984-1987). The Presentation II
encompasses the many changes made based on
Anthony’s 17-year life with Number 10 (1996),
including modifications to virtually every aspect of the
instrument. This includes changes to the pickups,
bridge, nut, wiring, frets, tuning machines, spacing and
set-up, as well as the adoption of the “Hybrid” design.

Vinny and Joey’s discussion in 2006 with Anthony

about plans to build a full (as opposed to a “semi”)
hollow body instrument stirred a frenzy of planning–
and dreaming. The first instrument using this build was
made for Matthew Garrison and the transition from
33-inch to 36-inch scale and numerous other design
refinements took place over the next 6 years –
resulting in a transitional, “Hybrid” proof-of-concept
contrabass guitar. After our “heel-less” method of
attaching a neck to hollow-body instrument was
granted a U.S. Patent, the construction of the
Presentation II began.

The Presentation II includes a new neck profile with

increased thickness, a slight narrowing at the nut
combined with an equally subtle widening at the 28th
fret, a relocated truss rod, an increased headstock
break angle (increased to 17 degrees – normally we
use a 14 degree angle), an upgraded wiring
specification, subtle rounding of strategic body edges
for increased comfort, and a full basic hardware
material uniformity – bridge and trussrod are all
titanium.

Price – USD $35,200
