The Jackson JS3 Concert Bass is an affordable instrument that punches well above its weight.

With Jackson High Output humbuckers, this bass delivers some angry sounds which are easy to dial in thanks to its electronics.
Jackson Pickups
A pair of Jackson-designed humbuckers deliver you a potent and full-bodied bass tone with plenty of punch. Combined with a 3-band EQ, you can perfect your bass tone by cutting or boosting certain frequencies so that the sound in your head is made a reality.
Solid Construction
The JS3 has a light poplar body – a tonewood that delivers a balanced sound which a lot of push in the mid-range. The light weight of the body means you can play through an entire gig without feeling fatigue or strain on your back or shoulders.
The bolt-on neck gives a fast attack and snappy response, so that notes can really cut through in the mix and get heard. The sharkfin inlays are an iconic Jackson look, so you have a sharp and expensive-looking bass for a great price. The HiMass bridge also provides brilliant sustain and clarity, so you can hold onto notes with no sudden decay or loss of tone.
