Jackson JS2 Concert Bass Snow White

Para o preço é um instrumento fantástico.
O aspeto é muito ao meu gosto, muito Thrash Metal dos anos 80!
Contudo o acabamento do braço, nomeadamente das arestas dos trastos deixa algo a desejar.
Já experimentei pior, mas também já tive um baixo destes, mas a versão satin black, que era incrível.
É raro encontrar defeitos num braço Jackson, mesmo nos modelos mais baratos. Provavelmente será um problema pontual, espero...

I didnt have the biggest expectations when I ordered this bass, I simply ordered it because I had money to spare and always wanted a Jackson Concert bass. When it arrived, it blew my mind. Had to tweak the action a little, otherwise it was flawless right out of the box, I simply have never owned a bass of this kind of quality for such a low price. The machine heads are rock solid and the bridge has become a favorite of mine. The neck is straight and just feels incredibly sturdy. Now, the pickups, while still perfectly fine for the price, lacks a little something in my personal opinion... More punch, more volume, just more something. I primarily play metal and punk, and I like lots of growl and clank. So this is something I will probably upgrade to EMG 35HZ in the future, a modification I have done to several instruments. The two volume knobs and tone knob does not offer a very wide variety of tones, if thats what you are looking for, but personally I just rewire both pickups to a single master volume, no tone, so for me this is not an issue. I also swap the plastic nut with a brass nut. I was sceptical to the machine heads at first too, but as I wrote, they are rock solid so far!

All in all, I strongly recommend this instrument for any player of any rank, beginner or professional, this is a ton of bass for the buck and Im sure it can serve well in other genres than metal and punk too. I will most likely buy another one in black in the future, as a backup, thats how much i fell for this instrument.
