About Jackson Spectra Bass JS3

Because your performance demands versatility and a sound that stands out, the JS Series Spectra Bass JS3 Electric Guitar is engineered to exceed expectations. This bass guitar, with its innovative offset body style, is crafted with the artist's comfort and playability in mind. The sleek gloss black finish not only provides a stylish and modern aesthetic but also complements the professional quality of the instrument.

The poplar body of the Spectra Bass JS3 features a large upper horn, which thoughtfully distributes the instrument's weight to achieve perfect balance and minimize neck dive. This design consideration ensures hours of comfortable playability, whether you're practicing at home or performing on stage.

At the heart of this bass's superior sound is the graphite-reinforced bolt-on maple neck with a scarf joint design, which offers formidable sustain. The speed neck contour and the 12"-16" compound radius laurel fingerboard, adorned with 24 frets, are designed for lightning-fast playability, catering to the technical demands of bassists across all genres.

The dual passive Jackson medium-output humbucking pickups are the powerhouse behind the Spectra Bass JS3's enormous sound. They deliver a monstrous low-end growl that can adapt to a variety of musical styles, from the funk's rhythmic pulse to hard rock's aggressive drive and gospel's soulful melodies.

The HiMass bridge on this high-quality instrument not only provides rock-solid stability but also enhances sustain and contributes to a bolder tone. The sound can be meticulously shaped to your liking with the onboard controls, including a two-way toggle switch for pickup coil splitting, a 3-band EQ (active only), a blend control, and a volume control with a push/pull selector. This selector allows you to bypass or engage the active circuit for the 3-band EQ, ensuring you're always in control of your tone.

The innovative push/pull volume knob is a game-changer, allowing you to bypass the active circuit and continue playing without battery power, ensuring your performance is never cut short.

The 4-string Spectra Bass JS3 is not only highly affordable but also visually striking, available in vibrant Gloss Black, Metallic Red, or Silverburst finishes. The black nickel hardware and the Jackson 2x2 Gumby headstock with its understated J logo add to the instrument's sleek and professional appearance.

For the right-handed bassist seeking a blend of modern design, professional features, and a sound that can be tailored to any musical context, the JS Series Spectra Bass JS3 Electric Guitar stands as a compelling choice.
