    Default My new JS3V

    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.

    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.

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

    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.
