Product information

With modern style, flexible tone and unparalleled value, the Jackson X Series Spectra Bass SBX IV takes adventurous bassists on a bass odyssey and introduces the all-new Jackson neck-through bass lineup.

The innovative Offset Spectra bass body style was developed with touring musicians in mind. Its body is equipped with a larger, horn-shaped design on the top edge, which ensures even distribution of weight across the entire instrument, perfect balancing and playing comfort. The full-length maple neck with graphite reinforcement, shafting and speed neck contour ensures impressive sound duration while the laurel fretboard with 12"-16" radius and 24 jumbo frets ensures outstanding playability.

The SBX IV offers a comprehensive tonal spectrum, making it suitable for even the most versatile and progressive bassists. Dual, passive medium- output humbucking pickups form a dynamic foundation with punch, power and tone articulation. A 2-way toggle for pickup coil splitting, 3-band active EQ, blend control and volume potentiometer with push/pull selector switch to bypass the active circuit ensure comprehensive sound control. With the push/pull selector switch, you'll never have to worry about losing sound due to a running out of battery again. A short pull on the volume potentiometer bypasses the active circuit so that the bass sounds again even without battery power. This 4-string bass also features a HiMass™ hardtail bridge for improved tone duration and attack.
This affordable SBX IV bass features a unique black 2x2 headstock with a subtle "J" logo and is available in finishes such as Gloss Black or Matte Army Drab with black hardware that are sure to take the stage.

About Jackson

Jackson Guitars was created when Grover Jackson took over the well-known company Charvel's Guitar Repair in 1978. The collaboration with the then Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Randy Rhoads in 1980 resulted in the Rhoads body shape, which is still available today, and also marked the start of Jackson Guitars. The timing was just right because heavy metal was experiencing a heyday in the 1980s and the trend (started by Eddie Van Halen) was so-called super or power strats. These are guitars that are visually more or less based on the classic ST form , but are equipped with more modern and stylistically more suitable components such as humbuckers or Floyd Rose tremolos. Jackson soon earned a reputation as a forger of premium, American-built, high-end custom instruments that could be seen in the hands of many well-known guitarists of the time. With the musical changes of the 1990s, Jackson Guitars began opening factories in the Far East in order to be able to offer their instruments in cheaper areas. Since 2002, both Jackson and Charvel have been part of the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation.
