Poplar Body With Iconic Rhoads V Design

The JS3 RR-B IV projects pure metal attitude with its iconic Rhoads V body shape—a symbol of defiance and speed that forever changed the face of heavy metal instruments. Its angular lines are more than visual flair—the lightweight poplar construction balances comfort and sustain, delivering the punchy mids and tight lows that metal bassists crave. Finished in sleek Metallic Gray, the bass projects a sense of lethal precision, while its offset contours make extended sessions comfortable whether seated or standing. Bold, aggressive and perfectly balanced, the Rhoads design gives this bass both commanding tone and a commanding presence on stage.

Maple Neck and Amaranth Fingerboard for Speed and Stability

Built for fast, assertive playing, the JS3 RR-B IV’s one-piece maple neck is reinforced with graphite rods to maintain rigidity under high tension and intense stage conditions. Its bolt-on design enhances attack and definition, ensuring each note hits with clarity. The smooth amaranth fingerboard features a 12"–16" compound radius and 21 jumbo frets—ideal for rapid-fire runs and fluid slides. Pearloid sharkfin inlays mark your path up the neck with signature Jackson flair, while the satin finish provides a fast, frictionless feel. Combined with a 34" scale length, this neck delivers exceptional tension and balance across all four strings for confident, controlled performance.

High-Output Humbucker for Low-End Power

A single high-output Jackson humbucker powers the JS3 RR-B IV, engineered for massive low-end presence and articulate punch. This bridge position pickup captures the essence of modern metal bass tone—tight, defined and unrelenting. It thrives in high-gain environments, cutting through even the densest guitar layers with clarity and authority.
