Low End Power
Release your raw potential. This bass is loaded with powerful pickups for a wide ranging sound and beautiful low end. It will give you goosebumps when you're playing through your favourite basslines, and you'll hear that each note has plenty of definition. The Jackson Medium-Output humbucker in the bridge has a nice, level, well rounded tone which is perfect for rhythmic bass playing and generating a sharp, precise sound. Switch to the neck Medium-Output humbucker and you'll have a slightly warmer, softer tone which feels mellower but has plenty of vibrance.
Unique and inspiring. The three band EQ on this Spectra allows you to further shape your tone, so you can find a sound which best suits your tastes. The push/pull function on the volume button also switches between the active/passive voice of the pickups, so you can get different sounds with ease from your control panel. As such, you'll find that this bass has a wealth of tonal options for you to play with, and as such can cater to any genre.
The Spectacular Spectra
Pristine bass playing. Not only does it sound good, but the Spectra IV also feels incredibly nice to play. It has a satin-finished one piece maple neck, which is often seen on higher end models, for ease of movement around the fretboard. The laurel fretboard also offers a great deal of quality, helping provide a comfortable, smooth surface for your fingers to sail across. As such, this bass will cater to all playing styles, which makes it a great for players of all levels.
Super Sturdy
Unbreakable. The JS3 Spectra IV bass is both strong and packed with quality hardware which helps make your playing experience the best it can be. Holding the strings in place and keeping them in tune is a Jackson HiMass bridge, which is exceptionally sturdy. The Jackson die-cast tuners support this, allowing you to change your tuning quickly and speedily. If you're looking for a bass which will complement your playing and give everything it's got, the Spectra is ready for you.
