Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around Jackson’s Kelly body style, the Kelly Bird JS3Q is a four-string, 34-inch-scale bass with a poplar body and quilted maple top. Its graphite-reinforced maple neck bolts on to the body, and the bound amaranth fingerboard carries 21 jumbo frets. Two high-output humbuckers run through separate pickup-volume controls and an active three-band EQ, allowing pickup balance and bass, middle, and treble adjustment from the instrument. A Jackson HiMass bridge completes the fixed-bridge layout in Transparent Red Burst.
