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 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. Case sold separately.

    Great Bass for the price, Many tone options with the 5 knobs and active pickup. Very cool looking too. Have had many compliments about the look and sounds of this bass.

    Don't even get me started on this bass. The first time I bought this bass, the jack came loose, and the 2 of the wires snapped. Took it to guitar center to fix it and then they did, 2 days later wires snapped again. I returned it and got a whole new one, and guess what? Wires snapped, again, after doing nothing to it. Very disappointing as it sounds pretty good and has nice pickups. Save your money and get a different bass, unless you want this overpriced low-quality one.
