This is one of my personal basses bought in 2024. It's a great bass for the price. Solidly built with lots of tonal variation. However, in the end I decided it was not right for me. I couldn't quite get the sound I like, the neck is a little "chonkier" than I prefer and as expected it does have some neck dive. It is in very good shape with no major scratches, no chips. Includes original Jackson case ($110 value) and padded leather Levy bass guitar strap ($30 value). Also includes all original paperwork. 
NOTE: Please review photos closely. In certain light you can see some swirl marks/minor scratches simply from being played as well as cleaned/polished. This item will be shipped in it's case and double-boxed for safety. Please ask any questions before purchasing and be sure and check out my other items for sale. Thanks!
Description

The JS Series Kelly Bird Bass truly delivers thunderous tone with formidable looks based on Jackson’s classic Kelly body style.

The Kelly Bird Bass JS3Q four-string bass features a 34”-scale length, a lightweight poplar body with a quilt maple top, bolt-on maple neck with graphite reinforcement and scarf joint and a 12”-16” compound radius bound amaranth fingerboard with 21 jumbo frets and pearloid block inlays.

Dual Jackson high-output humbucking bass pickups create earthshaking sound that can be tweaked and refined thanks to its two volume controls and three-band active EQ, while a Jackson HiMass bridge provides solid stability, improved sustain and warmer tone.
