Jackson Pickups

A pair of Jackson-designed humbuckers deliver you a potent and full-bodied bass tone with plenty of punch. Combined with a 3-band EQ, you can perfect your bass tone by cutting or boosting certain frequencies so that the sound in your head is made a reality.

Solid Contruction

The JS3 has a light poplar body - a tonewood that delivers a balanced sound which a lot of push in the mid-range. The light weight of the body means you can play through an entire gig without feeling fatigue or strain on your back or shoulders.

The bolt-on neck gives a fast attack and snappy response, so that notes can really cut through in the mix and get heard. The sharkfin inlays are an iconic Jackson look, so you have a sharp and expensive-looking bass for a great price. The HiMass bridge also provides brilliant sustain and clarity, so you can hold onto notes with no sudden decay or loss of tone.

Here's what Jackson say:

Jackson’s JS Series Concert Bass models rock seismic sound, style and affordability.

The four-string Concert Bass JS3Q is a 34”-scale model featuring a lightweight and resonant poplar body with a beautiful quilt maple 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 pearloid sharkfin inlays.

Jackson dual humbucking high-output pickups provide a monstrous low-end growl, while a high mass bridge provides rock-solid stability. Shape and refine your tone with its two volume controls (neck and bridge pickups) and active three-band EQ.
