The Jackson JS Series Spectra Bass JS2 Satin Black at a glance
The Jackson JS Series Spectra Bass JS2 Satin Black convinces with optimal playing characteristics and a versatile sound spectrum at an extremely attractive price. Here, Jackson relies on a poplar body in offset design, which promises perfect balance on the strap with an extended upper body horn, while the bolt-on maple neck with the slim "C" profile offers smooth playability over all 24 frets of the Laurel fingerboard. With a Jackson J-style single coil pickup at the bridge and a P-style Split coil pickup in the middle position, which are controlled via volume and blend controls, the four-string furthermore delivers a particularly versatile sound spectrum. The Jackson Spectra Bass also has an active bass boost, which emphasises the low-end foundation if desired and can be switched off using the push/pull switch in the volume control. Last but not least, the Jackson JS Series Spectra Bass JS2 Satin Black has a Jackson hardtail bridge and precise die-cast bass tuners.
The Jackson JS Series Spectra Bass JS2 Satin Black offers a high level of playing comfort and versatile bass sounds.
Love this Jackson bass. Finish is first class and blemish free. the satin finish of the neck really does give it a smooth easy playability. doesn't have the triangle fret markers or logo on pick ups like more expensive models...and only one screw holding the truss rod cover in place... but this is where savings are made and the price kept low I guess.. The hardware... bridge, saddles and tuning pegs are all solid high quality... i highly recommend this bass to beginners and pros alike... OK... the BUTs.. out of the box... this model must have been rushed through control... the action was so low that that there was fret buzz across the entire fret board. slight truss adjustment and raising of the saddles easily enough sorted that out though.... It plays beautifully now but i would'nt have expected to have to do a full set up. AND...I also ordered a mic stand... this brought my total order to over 200 euro. The website VERY clearly states that orders over 200 euro qualify for free postage to Ireland... but after ordering, I was mailed to inform me that as it is a guitar.... and therefore large, I would have to pay postage...this isn't mentioned anywhere on the Musicstore site... very annoying indeed. So.. great guitar... but might need a little setting up and beware of postage charges.

I bought this as my first bass, It's exactly what I wanted, but it when it arrived it was above my expectations. Gorgeous looking instrument, with a fantastic sound either from the Precision pickups or the bridge (Jazz style) Pickup.
The Active "Bass Boost" is good but I haven't mess much it it. Satin neck for an excellent feel.
For the price you can't go wrong.
