Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Jackson's JS2P is a four-string solidbody bass with a poplar body, poplar burl top, and a bolt-on maple neck. The P-style neck pickup and J-style bridge pickup can be blended, while the active three-band EQ offers bass shaping. When you want the passive pickup output, the preamp can be bypassed. A 12-inch-radius laurel fingerboard, 24 jumbo frets, 34-inch scale, hardtail bridge, and sealed die-cast tuners round out a bass laid out for broad pickup and EQ adjustment.
