Description

Bassist David Ellefson has reigned as a titan of thrash bass, garnering worldwide acclaim as a co-founding member of « Big Four » thrash innovator Megadeth and for his fleet-fingered, hard-hitting style and versatility. Simply put, nobody shreds a bass like Ellefson, and Jackson is proud to have his name on several formidable bass models, including this affordably priced X Series Signature David Ellefson Kelly Bird V Bass.
This five-string bass features a basswood body with Ellefson’s signature blue burst with black center stripe finish, bolt-on bound maple neck with 21 jumbo frets and block inlays, EMG® pickups, two volume controls and three-band active EQ, Jackson HiMass five-string bridge and Jackson die-cast mini tuners.
