collapse expand iconDescription

The JS Series Kelly Bird Bass truly delivers thunderous tone with formidable looks based on Jackson’s classic Kelly body style.

The Kelly Bird 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.
