Description
Let us introduce you to the Jackson JS Series Spectra Bass JS2 Bass Guitar in Quicksilver.
The Jackson JS Series Spectra Bass JS2 is a sleek, modern 4 string bass that blends punchy, versatile tones with a super comfortable playing experience. With its offset Spectra body, PJ pickup configuration and active bass boost circuit with passive bypass, it is built to handle everything from tight funk lines to heavy rock riffs, all wrapped up in a striking Quicksilver finish.
Designed with balance and playability at its core, the JS2 pairs a lightweight poplar body with a fast bolt on maple neck and 12 inch radius laurel fingerboard for effortless movement across all 24 frets. Add in Jackson J style and P style pickups, a rock solid hardtail bridge and dependable sealed die cast tuners, and you have a highly affordable workhorse bass that is ready for the stage, studio or rehearsal room.
Comfortable Offset Spectra Body
The Spectra Bass JS2 features an offset poplar body with a large upper horn that helps distribute weight evenly across your shoulder. This design reduces neck dive and keeps the bass feeling balanced whether you are standing or sitting, so you can play longer sets in comfort. The gloss Quicksilver finish and sleek contours also give it a bold, modern look that stands out under stage lights.
Fast, Stable Maple Neck
A bolt on maple neck with scarf joint construction delivers impressive stability and sustain, ideal for low end clarity and long held notes. The gloss colour matched finish feels smooth in the hand, while the speed neck contour and 12 inch radius laurel fingerboard make fast runs, slides and position shifts feel natural. With 24 jumbo frets and clear white dot inlays, you have full access to two octaves on every string.
Versatile PJ Pickup Configuration
The combination of a Jackson J style bridge pickup and P style neck pickup gives the JS2 a wide tonal palette. Dial in tight, articulate bridge tones for cutting through a mix, or switch to the neck pickup for fuller, rounder sounds ideal for soul, gospel or classic rock. Blending the two lets you fine tune your voice, from punchy growl to smooth, lucid tones that sit perfectly in any band setting.
Active Bass Boost with Passive Bypass
The JS2 is equipped with a powerful active bass boost circuit for extra low end authority when you need it. Use the dedicated bass boost control to add depth and weight to your sound, perfect for heavier styles or bigger stages. The volume control features a push pull selector that instantly bypasses the active circuit, switching the bass to passive mode so you can keep playing even if the battery runs out, giving you reliable performance in any situation.
