Jackson JS3Q Kelly Bird Electric Bass

Based on Jackson's Kelly body shape, the JS3Q Kelly Bird bass uses high-output humbucker pickups and active electronics to conjure a deep, aggressive sound.

The Jackson JS3Q Kelly Bird basses truly deliver thunderous tone with formidable looks based on Jackson's classic Kelly body style. The Kelly Bird JS3Q four-string bass features a 34" scale length, a lightweight poplar body with a quilt maple top, bolt-on maple neck with graphite reinforcement and scarf joint, and a 12"-16" compound radius bound Amaranth fingerboard with 21 jumbo frets and pearloid block inlays. Dual high-output Jackson humbucking bass pickups create earthshaking sound that can be tweaked and refined thanks to its two volume controls and three-band active EQ, while a Jackson high mass bridge provides solid stability, improved sustain and warmer tone.

"Awesome bass except the neck"

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I recently bought this bass. I read several reviews online and one specifically on YouTube before I took the plunge I actually really like this bass. The tone is great and the quilt top is gorgeous. However, it has a very thick neck. It is probably the thickest neck I have ever played (think P bass neck on steroids) and different than my other Jacksons which are thinner. The only other complain I have is that the frets on mine were a little rough but they are similar to my other Jackson bass so I assume that is a production issue.
