Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

The Concert Bass Minion JS1X is a compact four-string electric bass built on a 28.6-inch scale. Its poplar body pairs with a satin-finished, bolt-on one-piece maple neck reinforced with graphite rods. The 12-inch-radius amaranth fingerboard carries 22 jumbo frets and pearloid sharkfin inlays. A passive Jackson P-style neck pickup and J-style bridge pickup each have their own volume control, with a master tone control for the overall output. It is finished in Satin Black with black hardware and a fixed bridge.
