The bass features an alder body, quartersawn maple neck with compound-radius ebony fingerboard and jumbo frets, pearl shark fin inlays, EMG® 35CS neck pickup and EMG® 35DC bridge pickup, EMG® BQS electronics, Badass™ bridge, Hipshot tuners, limited-edition burned-in fallout logo and Rust in Peace-themed case. Sixty of the basses will be made, comprising four- and five-string models in both black and quicksilver finishes.

Ellefson himself is just as delighted as Jackson is, telling Jackson News, “When Megadeth set out to replicate the Rust in Peace tour, there was only one clear choice of bass guitar—my original Jackson Concert Bass. The instrument is based on the Jackson I played on the album and is exactly like the one I’m playing today. This bass truly takes no prisoners.”
