Jackson

collapse expand iconDescription

The Jackson JS Series Spectra Bass JS23, a versatile 4-string bass with an offset poplar body and bolt-on maple neck. The brand-new body shape provides perfect balance and comfort for hours of playing. A 12" radius bound laurel fingerboard with 24 frets sits atop the maple neck, which has a scarf joint design and speed neck contour.

Powerful Pickups Deliver a Range of Tones

The Spectra Bass JS23 provides a sound as unique as the bassist playing it. A Jackson J-style bridge pickup and P-style neck pickup deliver everything from punchy growls to lucid tones. The pickups can be blended and shaped using the volume control, blend control and bass boost control. A push/pull selector on the volume control engages or bypasses the active circuit for the bass boost, so you'll never lose sound to a dead battery.

Rock-Solid Bridge Provides Sustain and Stability

A Jackson HiMass bridge provides rock-solid stability, improved sustain, and a bold tone. The bridge works with the poplar body and maple neck to produce a resonant, full sound with rich harmonics.

Unique Styling and High Playability

The Spectra Bass JS23 has a unique offset body shape and a Jackson 2x2 headstock for distinctive style. A 34" scale length, 12" radius fingerboard, and speed neck contour provide a fast, comfortable playing feel for any technique. The bass comes in red stain or walnut stain with black hardware for an eye-catching appearance.

Highly Affordable Versatility

Highly affordable yet packed with professional features, the Jackson JS Series Spectra Bass JS23 provides exceptional value for bassists of all levels. This versatile 4-string bass produces a range of tones for any musical style.
