Modern 4-string Bass with high playability and flexible sound
With the Jackson Series Spectra Bass JS2P Black Burst, the Californian traditional company sends a modern 4-string Bass into the race, which offers excellent playability and a flexible sound spectrum at an amazingly favourable price-performance ratio. While a poplar burl top on the ergonomic body provides the trendy burl look, the "Speed Neck" neck profile promises buttery smooth playing characteristics from the highest to the lowest register. The four-string JS Series Spectra Bass delivers versatile bass tones for just about any genre, featuring the proven PJ pickup setup and active electronics with Bass Boost. Reliable Hardware in the form of a 4-saddle hardtail bridge and tuning-stable die-cast tuners completes the JS Series Spectra Bass JS2P Black Burst from Jackson.
Modern Bass design with comfortable gaming features
The modern design of the JS Series Spectra Bass JS2P combines first-class playing characteristics and a particularly elegant look. While the poplar body promises a perfect balance on the strap and on the thigh due to the ergonomic design with a long upper horn, the intense grain of the Poplar Burl Top determines the hip look of the bass guitar. The bolt-on maple neck guarantees agile playability of all 24 frets of the Indian Laurel fingerboard with the "Speed Neck" profile and 38 mm nut width.
Flexible Bass Sounds
At the bass amp, the Spectra Bass JS2P turns out to be a versatile all-around bass that has the right sound for almost any style of music. While the Jackson P-style split-coil pickup in the middle position delivers a punchy sound with a well-dosed, aggressive growl in the low mids, the Jackson J-style single-coil pickup placed at the bridge promises an assertive sound with sharply emphasized mids. The JS Series Spectra's active bass boostBass adds an extra dose of punch and punch by emphasizing the low frequency. In addition, the four-stringer can be played in traditional passive mode.
Indestructible hardware
Last but not least, Jackson completes the JS Series Spectra Bass JS2P Black Burst with indestructible hardware. On the body, the classic Jackson Hardtail with four individually adjustabletailpieces guarantees precise adjustment of intonation and string action, while on the distinctive headstock, four encapsulated Jackson Die-Cast tuners promise precise tuning with unshakable stability.
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.
