Description
Five strings, 35″ scale, and a fretboard built for speed — the Jackson JS3VQ Concert Bass is aimed at bassists who need to cover B string territory without the neck turning into a plank. The poplar body keeps the overall weight down for long sets, while the quilt maple top gives it some visual flash under stage lights, finished here in Transparent Red Burst.
The bolt-on maple neck is fully bound and reinforced with graphite rods plus a scarf joint, so it stays stable when you’re digging in on that low B or riding out a long tour in changing climates. On top sits an amaranth fingerboard with a 12″-16″ compound radius — flatter as you move up the neck, which helps with low action and less fret buzz when you’re really cranking through fast lines.
- 35″ scale, 5-string layout for extended low-end range
- Lightweight poplar body with quilt maple top
- Bolt-on maple neck, fully bound, graphite-reinforced, with scarf joint
- Amaranth fingerboard, 12″-16″ compound radius
- 24 jumbo frets with classic sharkfin inlays
If you’re chasing a workhorse 5-string that can handle everything from pocket-deep grooves to fast fills without fighting the neck, the JS3VQ gives you the scale length and fret access to do it — at a price that leaves room in the budget for an amp upgrade.
