My new JS3V

[anomynous]

There was request for a new thread when someone got one, and well I did, so:

1. Sounds hella sexy.
2. Probably the lightest bass I've ever played. Weight is not an issue.
3. The B string is the same volume as all the others.
4. The knobs from left to right are: blend/volume, then treble/mid/bass.
5. Looks sexy.

I'll try to answer questions, but I won't be able to have the bass in my hands again until Monday.

You used the same pics, huh. GTWGITS

[anomynous]

Yeah, I'm not taking new pics just to see the bottom inch of the bass.

Niiccccceee!!!!

[SOB H.R.MC]

Very nice ! Did it come with a case or gig bag?

great start to a new bass thread

[anomynous]

Nope, just some allen wrenches

[Zsrinn73]

are the pickups active ?

[anomynous]

Yep

Totally agree with anomynous - it's one sexxxxay beast. Great sound, great price. I got the exact same one yesterday. I also have a CMG and there's no noticeable difference in the construction or the tone quality. I just wish they came out with the JS's before I dropped $700 on the CMG. Oh well.

no the pickups are not active...
you could use another preamp if the jackson one is not your thing.

[anomynous]

I just assumed the pickups were active since that's what Ellefson said in the announcement video

[amimbari]

but it IS an active bass in all respects so he is correct.

I think Ellefson meant that it has an active EQ. There's a 9-volt battery in the back compartment, just like the CMG.
