Jackson JS Series Spectra Bass JS2P, Black Burst

Full Description

Jackson P and J precision pickups

Incredible variety. You're going to love the presence-packing-punch that these pickups create. The JSP2 is equipped with a J style in the bridge and a P style in the neck. With these, you have a choice between active and passive wirings to articulate different voicings. In active mode you'll get a powerful, aggressive tone that's defined and forceful. With a simple push / pull switch, you can engage passive mode if you want to save battery power, and access the cooler, more mellow passive textures.

Change your sound further with the bass boost function that instantly fattens up the sound, strengthening the low frequencies and making your notes hit with a slap. It's great for moulding your music on the fly, so you can immediately emphasise bass fills or lead lines by flicking it on or off. That's not all, the active mode features a blend control so you mix in the two pickups for a fusion sound. With so many tools at your command, the bass riffs will sound exactly how want them.

Built for comfort. Honed for speed

Basses are big. Sometimes that means they're a bit unwieldy. Not with Jackson's JS2P Spectra, it's built with your playing comfort in mind. A large upper horn evenly distributes the weight of the instrument, so you're not going to suffer irritating neck dive and instead can focus on the funk. This fine balance leads to an unrestricted playing experience.

Get comfortable because the Spectra will launch your riffs at breakneck speed. A smooth laurel fretboard is silky to touch and easy to manoeuvre around thanks to its compound radius shaping. It's more curved at the low frets for effortless riffing and flattens out towards the higher registers for more expansive playing. This is all sat on a thin, speed profile neck that sports a satin finish, ideal for rapid riffs. Take your tone into turbo mode.

Jackson quality appointments

Crafted by one of the most recognisable brands in business, the Spectra displays all the touches you'd expect from such a renowned brand. Starting with a Jackson hardtail bridge that'll keep your strings firmly anchored, resulting in incredible sustain and pinpoint accurate intonation across the scales. It works with the humbuckers to generate the rounded, bold tones, and in combination with Jackson sealed die-cast tuners you'll enjoy solid tuning stability throughout a set.

Born to perform. Any musician on the road needs reliable equipment that's always ready for a gig, and the Spectra won't let you down. Its bolt on maple neck with scarf joint is made to Jackson's high standards and will prove resistant to warping and heavy use.
