{"product_id":"jackson-js3vq-5-string-concert-bass","title":"Jackson JS3VQ 5-String Concert Bass","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Jackson JS Series Concert Bass JS3VQ is a right-handed 5-string electric bass built for players who want extended range, adjustable onboard tone shaping, and a distinctive Cherry Burst presentation. Its 35-inch scale and five-string layout provide a platform for bass parts that need a broad working range. The Concert Bass body shape keeps the instrument focused on modern electric-bass performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA poplar body forms the foundation of the JS3VQ, while the quilted maple art-grain top adds visual depth beneath the gloss Cherry Burst finish. The bolt-on maple neck is fully bound and uses graphite reinforcement with a scarf joint. Together, these elements support a stable, purpose-built bass design for regular practice, recording, rehearsal, and stage use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo Jackson covered high-output humbucking pickups are fitted in an HH configuration, supplying a strong bass signal with humbucking pickup operation. Individual neck- and bridge-pickup volume controls let players balance the two pickup positions. An active three-band EQ provides separate bass, middle, and treble adjustment directly from the instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe amaranth fingerboard has a 12-inch to 16-inch compound radius, becoming flatter farther up the neck. This design combines a more rounded feel near the nut with a flatter upper-fret playing surface. With 24 jumbo frets, pearloid sharkfin inlays, and a 1.75-inch nut width, the JS3VQ offers a clearly defined five-string playing layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJackson equips this bass with a HiMass bridge, sealed die-cast tuning machines, nickel-plated steel strings, and black hardware. It is a practical choice for players building a bass rig around an amplifier, pedalboard, recording interface, or DI setup. The onboard EQ and dual-pickup layout make it suitable for dialing in the instrument before it reaches the rest of the signal chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFive-String Configuration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Expands the instrument’s playing range for modern bass parts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e35-Inch Scale Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides the longer-scale platform specified for this model.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHH Pickup Layout:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uses two covered Jackson high-output humbucking bass pickups.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActive Three-Band EQ:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adjust bass, middle, and treble from the instrument.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompound-Radius Fingerboard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Transitions from 12 inches to 16 inches across the neck.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJackson HiMass Bridge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides a dedicated high-mass bridge design for the strings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe JS3VQ pairs a poplar Concert Bass body with a quilted maple art-grain top, gloss finish, black hardware, and white binding at the neck and headstock. Its maple neck has a satin finish, graphite reinforcement, and a dual-action truss rod with adjustment at the nut. Pearloid sharkfin position inlays, a pointed five-in-line headstock, and dome-style control knobs complete the Jackson styling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is an electric bass rather than a car-audio component and is intended to be used as part of a bass performance or recording setup. Connect it to an appropriate bass amplification or DI-based rig, then use the neck volume, bridge volume, and active EQ controls to establish the desired pickup balance and tonal contour. Jackson lists a saddle-height wrench and truss-rod wrench; a protective case or gig bag is sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jackson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45668805869638,"sku":"2919021586","price":529.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0048\/4163\/5910\/files\/61HCFDHa1CL.jpg?v=1784463381","url":"https:\/\/audiowatt.store\/products\/jackson-js3vq-5-string-concert-bass","provider":"Audio Watt Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
