Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Metallic Blue Concert Bass JS3 is a four-string, 34-inch-scale bass with a poplar body and a graphite-reinforced bolt-on maple neck. Its bound amaranth fingerboard uses a 12–16-inch compound radius and carries 24 jumbo frets. Two high-output humbucking bass pickups form the electronic layout, with a pair of volume controls and active three-band EQ available for refining the sound. A fixed HiMass bridge completes the hardware package, all in black against the Metallic Blue finish.
