The Jackson JS Series Concert Bass Minion JS1X comes with all the tight and snug playability of a shorter scale length plus the full power of a PJ-style pickup load-out. At just 28.6 inches long, the scale length of this bass is ideal for younger students of the four-string, while the lighter poplar wood body doesn't just improve comfort and manageability but ensures full and resonant acoustic sound. Add on the bolt-on graphite-reinforced maple neck and you have a super-stable machine of an instrument. Broad-Range Sound With a Jackson P-style pickup planted at the neck and a Jackson J-style pickup planted at the bridge, the Concert Bass Minion JS1X wields a broad tonal range. From deep and rich, low-diving output to powerful mid-range bite, this electric bass can be tweaked to back up an array of different genres and playing styles. The stripped back controls hand you a volume pot per pickup plus a master tone pot to dial everything in. Reliable Style The classic body shape is fully set off by the modern Metallic Red paint-job, while the black hardware and matching black pointed headstock polish off the signature Jackson aesthetics. The hardware doesn't just look good, but includes a hardtail bridge and black baseplate that supports improved sustain and intonation, while a set of Jackson-designed machine heads guarantee stable and accurate tuning. All of this combines to complete a solid, reliable and powerful bass guitar, whether you're drilling lines in your bedroom or stomping out riffs on stage.
