While embodying a fusion of modern style, adaptable tone, and exceptional value, the Jackson X Series Spectra Bass SBXQ IV Electric Guitar is a trailblazer in Jackson's impressive neck-through-body bass collection. This instrument is designed for the audacious player, offering a unique journey into the realm of bold bass sounds.
The innovative design of the offset Spectra Bass body caters specifically to the needs of gigging musicians. Its poplar body, adorned with a stunning quilt maple top, features an enlarged upper horn that ensures an even weight distribution across the instrument. This thoughtful design guarantees optimal balance and comfort during play.
The graphite-reinforced through-body maple neck, coupled with a scarf joint, delivers formidable sustain. The speed neck contour, combined with a 12"-16" compound radius bound laurel fingerboard and 24 frets, enhances playability, making this guitar a delight for any bassist.
The SBXQ IV is equipped with dual passive medium-output humbucking pickups, offering a dynamic foundation with a powerful punch and precise note articulation. This makes it an ideal choice for bassists seeking a full-sonic spectrum.
The guitar's wide-ranging tonal command is facilitated by a two-way toggle switch for pickup coil splitting, a 3-band active EQ, blend control, and volume control with a push/pull selector. This selector allows you to bypass or engage the active circuit for the 3-band EQ, eliminating the risk of sound loss due to a dead battery. A quick pull on the volume knob bypasses the active circuit, enabling you to regain sound from the bass without the need for battery power.
The four-string bass also boasts a HiMass hardtail bridge that enhances sustain and improves attack. The X Series Spectra Bass SBXQ IV, presented in a striking Amber Blue Burst, features a unique 2x2 color-matched headstock with a subtle "J" logo and black hardware.
The poplar body of the guitar, capped with a beautiful figured quilt maple top, offers a resonant tone with a distinguished upper midrange, similar to alder. The quilt maple wood creates a unique water-like appearance, adding to the aesthetic appeal of the instrument.
The versatile control layout, including a two-way toggle switch for pickup coil splitting, a 3-band active EQ, blend control, and volume control with a push/pull selector, offers wide-ranging tonal command. This makes the Jackson X Series Spectra Bass SBXQ IV Electric Guitar a versatile and valuable addition to any musician's collection.
