JacksonJS Series Spectra Bass JS3V 5-String Silver Burst

1/5
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
In Silver Burst, the JS3V brings a 35-inch-scale, 5-string format to Jackson’s offset Spectra Bass design. A pair of medium-output humbuckers feeds volume, blend and 3-band EQ controls; the two-way switch splits coils for another pickup option. The volume control also pulls up to bypass the active EQ. The bolt-on maple neck meets a 24-jumbo-fret laurel board with a 12–16-inch compound radius. Its large upper horn is intended to spread weight more evenly and limit neck dive.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Rehearsal or performance playing that calls for a 5-string bass with onboard EQ and pickup switching.
- Players who prefer a 24-fret fingerboard and a 12–16-inch compound radius.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players specifically looking for a four-string bass.
- Left-handed players.
