JS Series Kelly Bird Bass JS3Q
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 JS3Q four-string bass features a 34"-scale length, a lightweight poplar body with a quilt maple top, bolt-on maple neck with graphite reinforcement and scarf joint and a 12"-16" compound radius bound amaranth fingerboard with 21 jumbo frets and pearloid block inlays. Dual Jackson® high-output humbucking bass pickups create earthshaking sound that can be tweaked and refined thanks to its two volume controls and three-band active EQ, while a Jackson HiMass™ bridge provides solid stability, improved sustain and warmer tone. Loaded with vibe and value, the JS3Q is available in Transparent Blue Burst or Transparent Red Burst with all-black hardware.
