Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The JS3V is a 35-inch-scale, five-string bass with a poplar body, bolt-on graphite-reinforced maple neck, and 24 jumbo frets on a compound-radius amaranth fingerboard. Its two high-output humbucking bass pickups have individual volume controls, allowing you to set their balance before using the active three-band EQ to shape the result. A Jackson HiMass bridge anchors the layout, while Metallic Blue Burst and black hardware give this version its visual identity.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Five-string players who want separate control of neck and bridge pickup levels plus active three-band EQ shaping.
- Players who need a 24-fret bass with a 35-inch scale length.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players looking for a four-string bass.
- Buyers who need a case supplied with the bass.
