The Jackson JS Concert Bass Minion SD1XM packs tons of low-end punch into a small package. This sleek, short-scale bass may look as though it was designed with kids in mind and they are perfect for them.
However, the Jackson JS Minion bass has some surprising uses. For starters its a great Travel Bass and will fit a variety of cases and gig bags. Guitarists wanting to lay down some bass tracks find it an easy transition and for anyone with smaller sized hands, playing a JS Minion Bass is the nearest they’ll get to experiencing what a full size bass feels like in the giant hands of the planet’s best bass players.
The shorter scale length is no slouch when it comes to tone either.
The JS Series Concert Bass™ Minion JS1X Bass features the classic P/J pickup configuration. Each pickup has its own volume control and the master tone control is there should you want to dial in some “warm and woody”.
The one piece maple neck with its Amaranth fretboard feels smooth and comfy.
The Jackson JS Concert Bass Minion SD1XM punches well above its weight delivering powerful tone from a small package.
The Classic P/J pickup configuration
The PJ (Precision and Jazz Bass) pickup configuration is arguably the most popular on the planet and with good reason.
Offering unbridled versatility and a wide range of tonal possibilities, whether in the studio or onstage, you can choose the best of both pickups to dial in your perfect sound. From the punchy clarity of the J-style bass to the deep presence of the P-Style pickups, you’ll have all basses covered here.
