Built for Versatile Bassists

The Jackson JS3 Spectra Bass in Snow White is an offset S-style instrument designed for players who need one bass that covers rock, funk, gospel and more. Its poplar body with a large upper horn balances weight to reduce neck dive during long sets. The bolt-on maple neck with a scarf joint and speed contour pairs with a 12-16 compound radius laurel fretboard and 24 frets for fast, comfortable playability across the full register.

Active Electronics Expand Tonal Range

Dual medium-output humbucking pickups deliver a growling low end that works equally well for fingerstyle funk and aggressive rock lines. A two-way toggle splits the coils for single-coil textures, while the three-band EQ, blend knob and push-pull volume control operate in active mode to shape frequencies precisely. The HiMass bridge adds sustain and tuning stability, so the extended tonal palette stays consistent through dynamic playing.

Passive Mode Limits Onboard Shaping

When the preamp is bypassed, the three-band EQ and active blend function are disabled, leaving only the passive volume and pickup selection. Players who rely on onboard EQ for every song must keep the circuit engaged, which requires a working battery. The offset body improves balance but does not change the fundamental scale length or string spacing, so hand position remains conventional.

Questions about this item

Will the laurel fingerboard need oiling or conditioning over time?

Laurel is a dense hardwood that typically requires minimal conditioning; occasional cleaning with a dry cloth is sufficient for normal use.

Does the active 3-band EQ circuit impose a practical limit on playing time before the battery must be changed?

The active EQ runs on a standard 9 V battery; typical life spans several months of daily use, so the preamp is unlikely to cut out mid-session.

How much heat or noise does the onboard preamp generate during an all-day rehearsal?

The solid-state preamp draws only milliamps, producing no audible hiss and no perceptible warmth on the control plate.
