JS Series Concert Bass JS3
Jackson's JS Series Concert™ Bass models rock seismic sound, style and affordability. The Concert Bass JS3 is a four-string, 34"-scale model featuring a lightweight and resonant poplar body, bolt-on maple neck with graphite reinforcement and a 12"-16" compound radius bound amaranth fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets and pearloid sharkfin inlays. Dual Jackson high-output humbucking bass pickups create a monstrous low-end growl, while a HiMass™ bridge provides rock-solid stability, improved sustain and bolder tone. Tone can be refined and tweaked with a single volume and blend controls complemented by an active three-band EQ. Loaded with vibe and value, the Concert Bass JS3 is available in Metallic Blue and Satin Black finishes with black hardware.
