Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The JS3VQ takes the Concert Bass layout into a five-string, 35-inch-scale format. Its poplar body is topped with quilted maple, joined to a fully bound bolt-on maple neck with graphite reinforcement and a scarf joint. The amaranth fingerboard has a 12–16-inch compound radius, 24 jumbo frets, and sharkfin inlays. Two high-output humbucking pickups, two volume knobs, and an active three-band EQ put tone adjustment onboard. This version comes in Cherry Burst with black hardware and a pointed five-in-line headstock.
