The Jackson JS Series Spectra Bass JS3QV 5-String Electric Guitar is an all-new 5-string leviathan instrument where versatile style and enormous sound collide. The brand-new offset body style was designed with the artist in mind.
New Offset Poplar Body with Larger Upper Horn
The poplar body with quilt maple top features a large upper horn that evenly distributes weight throughout the instrument, providing perfect balance by reducing neck dive for hours of comfortable playing.
Maple Neck and Laurel Fingerboard
A graphite-reinforced bolt-on maple neck with scarf joint design provides rock-solid reliability, while the speed neck contour and 12-16 inch compound radius laurel fingerboard (with 24 frets) make for lightning-fast playability.
Humbucking Pickups and HiMass Bridge
The Spectra Bass JS3QV provides a sound that is as unique as the bassist playing it. Whether it be funk, hard rock, or gospel, dual passive Jackson medium-output humbucking pickups create a monstrous low-end growl, while a HiMass bridge provides enhanced stability, improved sustain, and a bolder tone.
3-Band Active EQ with Push/Pull Selector
Tone can be further refined and tweaked with a two-way toggle switch for pickup coil splitting, 3-band EQ (active only), blend control, and volume control (with push/pull selector to bypass or engage the active circuit for the 3-band EQ). The active three-band EQ is a tone control circuit that equalizes low, mid, and high frequencies or bass, middle, and treble. With the push/pull selector, you will never have to fear a battery running out and losing sound.
Hardware and Finish
Offering more boom for your buck, the 35-inch scale Spectra Bass JS3QV comes in a vivid Purple Phaze finish with black nickel hardware and a unique Jackson 3 x 2 headstock with an understated J logo.
