Flowing Tone
Sharp precision. Each pickup in the JS2 Spectra was designed to bring out the best in this bass's raw, powerful sound. A Jackson J-Style in the bridge offers warmth and a clean tone for creating booming, bold basslines, so you can make your music with flair and style. The P-Style in the neck also pumps out a warm, wonderful tone, and is perfect for adding a touch more mellowness to your music.
That's not all. On top of these effective pickups, there's a push/pull control on the volume knob to change between an active and a passive voicing for the humbuckers. The active voicing emits a high output sound, which is crisp and powerful, whilst the passive voicing is slightly lower output with a more rounded tone. As such, you'll find that you have all the sonic tools you need to write basslines your way.
Pure Playing Power
Rach every note. Thanks to the one piece maple neck on this glorious bass, you'll be able to slide your fretting hand up and down the neck with ease. The satin finish further increases smoothness, providing you with the means to play faster songs/basslines more comfortably. There's also a laurel fretboard atop the neck, which provides a nice, bright resonance and will help to sustain each note you play. Armed with such features, you'll find that your bass playing will have every opportunity to become bold and powerful.
Reliably Reinforced
It's built like a brick. The JS2 Spectra comes with quality hardware which gives it a high level of durability. There's a Jackson Hardtail bridge for holding the strings and your tuning, as well as Jackson sealed die-cast tuners for easy tuning changes. These help to keep the bass intact, and maintain its effectiveness as an instrument. These features combined with the lovely finish make the Spectra one incredibly well rounded, beautiful musical tool.
