With a modern style, flexible tone, and incomparable value, the Jackson X Series Spectra Bass SBX IV Guitar takes the adventurous player on a bold bass odyssey, launching a commanding all-new entry in Jacksons formidable neck-through-body bass lineup.

Body

The offset Spectra Bass body style was innovatively designed with the gigging musician in mind. Its poplar body has a larger upper horn that evenly distributes weight throughout the instrument for perfect balance and playing comfort.

Superior Playability

The graphite-reinforced through-body maple neck with scarf joint creates formidable sustain, with a speed neck contour, 12-to-16-inch compound radius laurel fingerboard, and 24 jumbo frets for superior playability.

Through-Body Maple Neck with Graphite Reinforcement and Scarf Joint

Extending the piece of wood used for the neck through the entire length of the guitars body allows for greater playability and sustain across the whole instrument. Graphite-reinforcement rods flanking the truss rod provide even more neck stability to help the instrument withstand the rigors of the road, while a scarf joint for an angled back headstock increases the tension behind the nut and eliminates the need for string trees and/or string retainer bars.

Humbucking Pickups

The SBX IV provides a full-sonic spectrum for even the most versatile and progressive bassists. Dual passive medium-output humbucking pickups create a dynamic foundation with punch, power, and note articulation.

Tonal Command

A wide-ranging tonal command comes from a two-way toggle switch for pickup coil splitting, 3-band active EQ, blend control, and volume control with push/pull selector to bypass or engage active circuit for the 3-band EQ. The push/pull selector eliminates the risk of losing sound due to a dead battery.

Volume Control

A quick pull on the volume knob bypasses the active circuit, making it easy to regain sound from the bass without the use of battery power.

HiMass Hardtail Bridge

This four-string bass also features a HiMass hardtail bridge that enhances sustain and improves attack.

Finish

Featuring a unique 2x2 black headstock with an understated J logo, the budget-friendly SBX IV comes in a new stage-conquering Neon Orange finish with black hardware.
