Jackson Pro Series Spectra Bass SBP IV 4-String Guitar with Caramelized Jatoba Fingerboard (Right-Handed, Transparent Black Burst)

The Jackson Pro Series Spectra Bass 4-String Electric Guitar is a finely crafted instrument with its very essence right there in the name - a bass for professionals. A bold bass that’s more than just a cut above the others; a bass designed to deliver the finest to the demanding and adventurous pro player. The finest in style, tone, comfort, and playability. Starting with style, the all-new Pro Series Spectra Bass SBP IV features a unique multi-laminate poplar burl/walnut/maple/walnut/mahogany body wrapped in sophisticated Transparent Black Burst finish, complete with a unique 2 x 2 color-matched headstock with an understated ‘J’ logo.

Multi-Laminate Poplar Burl/Walnut/Maple/Walnut/Mahogany Body

The offset Spectra Bass body style was innovatively designed with the professional musician in mind, featuring a larger upper horn that evenly distributes weight throughout the instrument for perfect balance and playing comfort. The unique multi-laminate body not only gives this bass exquisite style, but the layered construction improves resistance to environmental stressors.

Through-Body Five-Piece Maple/Walnut/Maple/Walnut/Maple Neck

The through-body five-piece maple/walnut/maple/walnut/maple neck with graphite reinforcement ensures ultimate stability and formidable sustain, while the speed neck contour and 12-16 inch compound radius caramelized jatoba fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets and oval dark pearl inlays offer superior playability.

Single-Coil Soapbar Bridge and Neck Pickups

The Pro SBP IV provides a full-sonic spectrum for even the most versatile and progressive bassists. Featuring Alnico V magnets, the Nordstrand SB4 single-coil soapbar bridge and neck pickups deliver an all-around pulverizing and striking sound with brighter, cleaner, and punchier characteristics. Whether played clean or dirty, these aggressive pickups retain a tone that is articulate and defined, yet still punchy with plenty of rich thumps. This four-string bass also features a Jackson Single-String hardtail bridge that enhances individual note attack and improves sustain.

3-Band Active EQ

The wide-ranging tonal command comes from a three-band active EQ, a two-way toggle switch to bypass or engage active circuit for the 3-band EQ, blend control, and volume control. The two-way toggle switch eliminates the risk of losing sound due to a dead battery by bypassing the active circuit and making it easy to regain sound from the bass without the use of battery power. An additional three-way toggle switch dials in a specific mid-frequency range for even more pinpoint tonal control.
