A Powerfully Playable Bass with a Stunning Appearance

The JS3Q Concert Bass packs plenty of punch and sleek looks too with its quilt maple-topped poplar body and bound maple neck with graphite reinforcement. The JS3Q Concert Bass comes equipped with two Jackson humbucking pickups, ready for you to dial in your ideal tone. And for a commanding feel, the amaranth fingerboard features a 12"-16" compound-radius for effortless playability. If you're looking for a seriously playable bass at a great value, look no further than the Jackson JS3Q Concert Bass.

Compound-radius fretboard

The JS3Q Concert Bass features a 12"-16" compound-radius fretboard for ultimate playability. The amaranth fingerboard is rounder near the nut for easy rhythm playing. As your playing heats up and moves up the fretboard, the radius flattens out for easier runs. With a neck that plays this slick, you'll find more reasons to get up to the higher frets in no time.

Powerful electronics let you tweak your tone to perfection

Jackson stocks the JS3Q Concert Bass with two high-output humbucking pickups, positioned to capture the fullest tone possible. You can sculpt your tone any way you see fit with the bass, mid, and treble tone controls. Whether you're recording some mellow R&B or trying to cut through a speed-metal mix onstage, the JS3Q Concert Bass has the tone-shaping power you need.

Built with unbeatable Jackson quality

Jackson's JS series represents the best of Jackson's 30 years of expertise, and the JS3Q Concert Bass is no exception. You get killer tonewoods, high-output electronics, and a compound-radius fingerboard, all at a price that belies its performance. And when you get onstage with this bass beast in your hands, everyone will know you're playing a Jackson thanks to the iconic shark fin inlays and tilt-back headstock.

Jackson JS3Q Concert Bass Features:

  • Jackson quality and playability at an incredibly low price
  • Solid poplar body delivers smooth sustain and balanced tone
  • Beautiful quilt maple veneer top offers a high-class look
  • Compound-radius fretboard lets you play faster and smoother
  • Dual humbucking pickups capture full-range tone
  • Bass, mid, and treble tone controls give you powerful tone-sculpting potential
