The Jackson JS Series Spectra Bass JS3V is a cutting-edge 5-string bass with enormous sound and style. This 35" scale bass features an offset poplar body and bolt-on maple neck for comfortable playability and rock-solid stability. With its speedy neck contour, 24-fret laurel fingerboard, and lightweight body, the Spectra Bass JS3V provides lightning-fast playability for hours of effortless practice or performance.

Dual Humbucking Pickups Provide Powerful Tone

The Spectra Bass JS3V is equipped with dual Jackson medium-output humbucking pickups that create a monstrous low-end growl perfect for any genre. A HiMass bridge provides enhanced stability and sustain for bold, resonant tone. A 2-way toggle switch allows for coil splitting, while volume, blend, and 3-band EQ controls offer flexible tone shaping. With the push/pull EQ selector, you'll never have to fear losing sound—just pull the volume knob to bypass the active EQ circuit and keep playing.

Modern Styling and Offset Body

The Spectra Bass JS3V features an offset poplar body with a large upper horn to evenly distribute weight, providing perfect balance and reducing neck dive. Its sleek black nickel hardware and unique Jackson 3x2 black headstock create an understated yet modern look.

Highly Playable Neck and Fingerboard

The Spectra Bass JS3V's bolt-on maple neck and 12"-16" compound radius laurel fingerboard were designed for speed and comfort. 24 jumbo frets provide ample room for advanced techniques while dot inlays help keep you oriented. With a nut width of 1.75", this bass is accessible for players of all skill levels.
