Armed with active electronics and an aggressive edge, the Jackson JS Series Concert Bass CB JS3P delivers enough high-output humbucking firepower to tackle the heaviest hard-rock and metal applications. It all starts with lightweight poplar body topped with an attention-demanding poplar art grain burl top, a formidable tonewood formula that pairs with a Jackson HiMass bridge for superior sustain. Under the hood, two searing Jackson high-output humbuckers grit and grind with the best of them, further elevated with an active 3-band EQ for effortless tone sculpting. A graphite-reinforced bolt-on maple neck tops it all off with a compound radius bound amaranth fingerboard, 24 jumbo frets, and shark fin inlays. Made for metal but more than versatile enough tackle less extreme sounds, the Jackson JS3P is a powerhouse performer with rock-solid playability to match.

High-performance compound-radius fingerboard





The JS3P’s 12-16-inch compound-radius fingerboard is sure to please even the pickiest of 4-string phenoms. Sweetwater’s technique-heavy bassists love how this radius flattens out as you climb the neck, allowing for effortless upper-register runs. Coupled with a smooth amaranth fingerboard, elegant binding, and aggressive shark fin inlays, the JS3P’s graphite-reinforced maple neck delivers big on the high-performance feel and eye-catching looks that players have come to expect from their Jackson instruments.





Powerful electronics let you tweak your tone to perfection





Jackson stocks the JS3P 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 recording some mellow R&B or trying to cut through a speed-metal mix onstage, the JS3P 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 JS3P 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.
