Jackson JS Series Concert Bass Minion JS1X Electric Bass

Compact short-scale bass with PJ pickups, jumbo frets and big low-end attitude

Overview

The Jackson JS Series Concert Bass Minion JS1X Electric Bass delivers serious low-end power in a compact, easy-to-handle format. Its shortened 28.6 inch scale length makes it a great choice for younger players, smaller hands, travel use or anyone who wants a bass that feels fast and approachable. With a poplar body, bolt-on maple neck, amaranth fretboard, 22 jumbo frets and Jackson PJ-style pickups, this Minion bass offers a strong mix of comfort, punch and aggressive Jackson style.

Features

The shorter 28.6 inch scale length gives the Concert Bass Minion JS1X a more compact feel than a full-scale bass, making stretches easier and the overall instrument more manageable. It is especially useful for new bassists building confidence, younger players stepping into electric bass or experienced musicians who want a fun compact instrument for practice and recording ideas.

The PJ pickup configuration gives this bass a versatile voice. The Jackson P-style neck pickup provides thick, supportive low-end punch, while the Jackson J-style bridge pickup adds definition and bite. Separate volume controls for each pickup and a master tone control let players blend warmth, attack and clarity to suit different songs and playing styles.

The bolt-on maple neck includes graphite reinforcement and a scarf joint for dependable strength, while the 12 inch radius amaranth fretboard and 22 jumbo frets create a comfortable playing surface for riffs, grooves and quick movement across the neck. A 4-saddle adjustable HiMass bridge, Jackson sealed die-cast tuners and black hardware complete a compact bass built for stable, reliable performance.
