Unleash your inner bass powerhouse with the Jackson Guitars JS Series Kelly Bird JS3Q, a fusion of iconic style and formidable sound. This four-string electric bass is crafted for players who crave a commanding presence both visually and sonically. With its distinctive Kelly body shape, the JS3Q not only looks striking but also offers a balanced, lightweight feel, thanks to its poplar body and quilt maple top.

The maple neck, reinforced with graphite, ensures stability and durability while the scarf joint design enhances playability. The rosewood fingerboard features a 12"-16" compound radius, which is more rounded near the nut for comfortable rhythm playing and flattens out higher up for effortless solos. You’ll glide from one end of the fretboard to the other with 21 jumbo frets and pearloid block inlays guiding your way.

At the heart of the JS3Q's sound are dual high-output Jackson humbucking pickups. These pickups, paired with individual volume controls and a three-band active EQ, let you sculpt earthshaking tones to fit any genre. The Jackson HiMass bridge adds to the bass's resonance, enhancing sustain and providing rock-solid tuning stability. Whether you're laying down a groove in the studio or commanding the stage, this bass guitar delivers in spades.
