With a modern style, flexible tone, and incomparable value, the Jackson X Series Spectra Bass SBXP IV 4-String Electric Guitar takes the adventurous player on a bold bass odyssey, launching a commanding all-new entry in Jackson’s formidable neck-through-body bass lineup.Poplar Body With Poplar Burl TopThe offset Spectra Bass body style was innovatively designed with the gigging musician in mind. Its poplar body with a distinct poplar burl top has a larger upper horn that evenly distributes weight throughout the instrument for perfect balance and playing comfort. Poplar is a softer wood that offers a meaty, resonant tone with a distinguished upper midrange tone quite similar to alder. The poplar burl top adds even more upper midrange as well as a distinctive wood grain pattern that pairs wonderfully with a variety of transparent finishes.Through-Body Maple NeckThe graphite-reinforced through-body maple neck with scarf joint creates formidable sustain, with a speed neck contour, 12-16 inch compound radius bound laurel fingerboard, and 24 frets for superior playability.Medium-Output Humbucking PickupsThe SBXP 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.Versatile Control LayoutA wide-ranging tonal command comes from a versatile control layout including a two-way toggle switch for pickup coil splitting, 3-band active EQ, blend control, and volume control with a 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. 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 BridgeThis four-string bass also features a HiMass hardtail bridge that enhances sustain and improves note attack.Hardware and FinishBudget-friendly and loaded with value, the X Series Spectra Bass SBXP IV comes in standout Desert Sand finish with a unique 2 x 2 color-matched headstock with an understated ‘J’ logo and black hardware.
