DESCRIPTION
With a modern style, flexible tone, and incomparable value, the Jackson X Series Spectra Bass SBX V takes the adventurous player on a bold bass odyssey, launching a brand-new entry into Jackson's formidable line of neck-through-body basses.
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. The graphite-reinforced through-body maple neck with scarf joint creates formidable sustain, with a fast neck contour, a 12"-16" compound radius laurel fingerboard, and 24 frets for superior playability.
The SBX V offers a full sonic spectrum for even the most versatile and progressive bassists. The dual passive medium-output humbucking pickups create a dynamic foundation with punch, power, and note articulation. The expanded tonal command comes from a two-way toggle switch for pickup coil splitting, a 3-band active EQ, a blend control, and a volume control with a push/pull selector to bypass or engage the 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.
This 35-inch scale, five-string bass also features a HiMass™ hardtail bridge that enhances sustain and improves note attack.
Featuring a unique 3x2 black headstock with a subtle "J" logo, the budget-friendly SBX V is available in Electric Blue or Metallic Black finishes, conquering the stage with black hardware.
