JS Series Kelly Bird Bass JS2
The JS Series Kelly™ Bird Bass truly delivers thunderous tone with formidable looks based on Jackson's classic Kelly body style. The Kelly Bird Bass JS2 four-string bass has a 34" scale, an offset mahogany body and a one-piece bolt-on maple neck with graphite reinforcement, scarf joint and a satin finish on the back. Its 12"-16" compound radius amaranth fingerboard features 21 jumbo frets and pearloid block inlays. Dual Jackson high-output bass pickups provide an earthshaking sound that can be tweaked with a pair of volume knobs and a single tone control, while a Jackson® HiMass™ bridge offers solid stability, improved sustain and warmer tone. Loaded with vibe and value, the Kelly Bird JS2 is available in Tobacco Burst with black hardware.
