Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
In Black, the Spectra Bass JS2 gives a four-string player separate P-style neck and J-style bridge pickups, plus a blend control to dial in their relationship. The J-style bridge unit is voiced for an articulate, defined response, while the P-style neck unit is described as warmer and fuller in the low end. A push/pull volume control takes the bass from active to passive operation when its battery is drained, and the active-only bass boost strengthens low frequencies. It carries an offset poplar body, bolt-on maple neck, laurel fingerboard, 34-inch scale and 24 jumbo frets.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Rehearsal and gig sets where blending P-style and J-style pickup voices is useful.
- Players who want to retain passive operation when the active circuit's battery is drained.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Parts that require more than four strings.
- Buyers who need a case or gig bag included.
