Eddie Jackson (born January 29, 1961),[1] is an American bass guitarist for the progressive metal band Queensrÿche, which he co-founded in 1982.
Jackson has been with the band since, and is notoriously known for putting pranks on the inside of album covers,[5] especially in the liner notes.
Rage for Order, Operation: Mindcrime, Empire, Promised Land, Hear in the Now Frontier--those were all with a pick.
The NS-2s were his primary bass guitars throughout the late 1980s and into the 1990s, and were among others used on Operation: Livecrime, until his black Spector was stolen in the mid-'90s,[7] after which Jackson retired his white model from touring, and switched to using Spector's Euro 5LX and ReBop bass guitars.
Jackson briefly endorsed Fernandes basses from 1994 to 1996, during Queensrÿche's Promised Land tour,[8] before endorsing Bellevue-based master luthier Michael Lull, who had done all of the repair and upkeep work on Queensrÿche's guitars.
