The only thing I don't like about Jackson guitars in general is I always get a buzzing note at the 15th fret on the 1st string. I've had all different levels from a JS32KE to a Performer PS4 to several Soloists and they all have the same problem.

I know what's wrong with this guitar. The fretboard color is too light, you need to ebonize/darken the fretboard for that black to really pop.

I'm in love with my X guitars. I have several. I get the fast feel and playability of the expensive USA Jackson (multi-thousands) without going broke. I'm not going to pretend that it's a perfect top notch guitar, but ... at some point, with how great they play, it doesn't even matter to me, I'm proud of my Xs.

Neck pocket looks way too big for the neck. Gap all around. I have seen many examples of frets like that from Mexican and Indonesian instruments. Probably because of wood not being stored and dried long enough before being used. A shame

So, Spector bass with nice specs for the price but Spector docked any decent factory setup to reduce price. That sucks ... but the the real culprit is whom ever sold you the bass. Any store with minimal professionalism would have spotted this crappy setup job and would have done at least a setup to make it playable, and if the neck is warped, it would have been sent back to the distributor and not sold.

I really like spectors in looks and the old ones made when Stuart was hand crafting them are total gems but holy shit they went downhill with these.

I bought a Spector NS Ethos last year. Out of the box it made a lot of noise. It was not playable. Probably a ground loop problem. Returned the bass. Received the replacement. Same problem. I took it to a local guitar tech. They isolated the issue to the pre-amp. When they called for support, Spector said the guitar would have to be taken to a authorized repair center, 300 miles away. I paid the guitar tech $50 for the diagnosis, and returned the guitar. I will never buy another Spector. For $2k you would expect the electronics to work.

I had only one Seymour Duncan Invader laying around and I was going to install that on my Ibanez Xiphos but a friend of mine gave me an EMG 81-85 set for half of the market price and we installed those on my Ibanez, still want to install that Invader into another guitar so I started looking for a guitar for my budget of $500 and found a Jackson Kelly KEX with a little body damage and an LTD Alexi-200, which one I should go with? I really can't decide, If I get the Jackson I'm also open to neck pickup suggestions to go with my Seymour Duncan Invader... Thanks
