J&A Guitars 'Venom' Active Bass Guitar in Toxic Emerald Satin

A bass that doesn’t just sit in the mix… it stalks it. The Venom is J&A’s modern predator: sleek, fast, and quietly dangerous, dressed in a luminous Toxic Emerald Satin that looks like it was distilled from deep forest shadows and neon light.

Built for players who demand precision without sacrificing personality, this instrument blends familiar Jazz-style comfort with cutting-edge performance features. Every contour, every component, every note is engineered to feel effortless and sound commanding.

Performance & Playability

The Venom’s 34” scale keeps your low end tight and articulate, while the 24-fret range opens the door to melodic exploration higher up the neck. A compound 16”–18” radius lets chords breathe near the nut and solos fly cleanly up top.

The slim, fast Jazz-style neck profile paired with an adjustable nut system makes setup personal and precise, whether you prefer feather-light action or a bit more resistance under your fingers.

Tonewoods with Attitude

A swamp ash body delivers punchy lows and airy highs, while the poplar burl top adds both visual chaos and tonal nuance. The flamed maple neck brings snap and clarity, perfectly balanced by the warmth and smooth response of an Indian rosewood fingerboard.

The result is a voice that can growl, shimmer, or cut clean through dense mixes without breaking a sweat.

Active Electronics Power

Equipped with EMG active pickups and an onboard preamp, the Venom gives you studio-level control right at your fingertips.

Dial in your sound with:

  • Volume
  • Volume
  • 3-band EQ (Bass / Mid / Treble)

From thunderous lows to razor-edged articulation, the tonal palette is wide and immediate.

Hardware That Works With You

The Venom is fitted with a Hipshot KickAss bridge, offering adjustable string spacing from 17 mm to 19 mm so you can tailor feel and attack to your style.

Lightweight Gotoh Ultralight tuners keep the instrument perfectly balanced while maintaining rock-solid tuning stability.

Built for the Modern Player

This is not a nostalgia piece. It’s a forward-facing instrument designed for players who move between genres, techniques, and stages without compromise.

The J&A Venom Active Bass in Toxic Emerald Satin is equal parts elegance and edge. Plug it in, and it doesn’t ask for attention… it takes it.
