Unique shape, powerful tone. The Jackson JS2 Kelly Bird Bass combines the unmistakable looks of Jackson’s classic Kelly body shape with modern bass playability. A smooth satin maple neck and compound radius amaranth fretboard allow you to quickly glide up and down the neck - transitioning from chunky riffs to intricate solos with ease.

Push your sound to the max. Dual Jackson high-output humbucking bass pickups give you enough power to shake the room. The colossal low end provided by these pickups gives you a deep and fat bass sound with plenty of punch. They also have clear highs and a solid midrange – allowing you to cut through in a band. Their high-output humbucking design gives you all the volume you need whilst eliminating hum. This is especially useful when cranking up the gain or playing at loud volumes on stage, making them ideal for heavy rock and metal.
Based on Jackson’s classic Kelly body style, the JS2 Kelly Bird’s offset nato body has excellent strength and durability, so you can rock out with confidence. A 1-piece maple neck gives a snappy attack with plenty of cut to the sound. Graphite reinforcement adds extra strength and rigidity to the neck. Combined with the Jackson's HiMass bridge you get rock solid stability - even when giving it your all on stage.
Fast and smooth. Whether you want solid low-end riffs, or fast intricate solos, the Jackson JS2 Kelly Bird Bass provides exceptional playability. A compound radius amaranth fretboard allows for easy playing all the way down the neck. Being rounder at the nut makes powerful riffs easy to play, and by flattening the fretboard out closer towards the heel, shredding solos feel effortless. Combined with a smooth satin finished 1-piece maple neck, you’ll be able to slide to any of the 21 frets with ease - allowing you to reach your maximum playing potential.
