JS Series Concert Bass JS3VQ
Jackson's JS Series Concert™ Bass models rock seismic sound, style and affordability. The five-string Concert Bass JS3VQ is a 35"-scale model featuring a lightweight and resonant poplar body with an elegant quilt maple art-grain top, fully bound bolt-on maple neck with graphite reinforcement and scarf joint, and a 12"-16" compound radius amaranth fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets and classic sharkfin inlays. Dual Jackson high-output humbucking bass pickups power a monstrous low-end growl, while a HiMass™ bridge provides rock-solid stability. The JS3VQ is also equipped with an active 3-band EQ and a pair of volume control knobs to refine and tweak tone. A thunderous bass loaded with vibe and value, the JS3VQ is available in a striking Cherry Burst, Transparent Black Burst or Transparent Red Burst finish with black hardware and a Jackson pointed 5-in-line headstock.
