Description

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

The Kelly Bird Bass JS2 four-string bass has a 34" scale, an offset mahogany body and a one-piece bolt-on maple neck with graphite reinforcement, scarf joint and a satin finish on the back. Its 12"-16" compound radius amaranth fingerboard features 21 jumbo frets and pearloid block inlays.

Dual Jackson high-output bass pickups provide an earthshaking sound that can be tweaked with a pair of volume knobs and a single tone control, while a Jackson HiMass bridge offers solid stability, improved sustain and warmer tone.

Loaded with vibe and value, the Kelly Bird JS2 is available in Tobacco Burst with black hardware. Case sold separately.

    I was able to get this bass used dirt cheap and surprised I like it as much as I do. I am not a high end bass guitar collector as I have only owned a few like a Yamaha RBX374, Schecter Omen IV extreme and a few others. Action was low, pickups are decent, seems solid. Not much to complain about at the price I picked it up for.

    From the picture this bass looks like a well balanced instrument.Are there neck dive issues?

    No, that head's not overly large. The body is.
