Jackson X Series Spectra Bass SBX V 5-String Electric Guitar (Metallic Black) with Bag and Strings

Jackson X Series Spectra Bass SBX V 5-String Electric Guitar (Right-Handed, Metallic Black)

With a modern style, flexible tone, and incomparable value, the Jackson X Series Spectra Bass SBX V 5-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. The offset Spectra Bass body style was innovatively designed with the gigging musician in mind.

Poplar Body with Large Upper Horn

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 speed neck contour, 12-16 inch compound radius laurel fingerboard, and 24 frets for superior playability.

Medium-Output Humbucking Pickups

The SBX V 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. 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 a push/pull selector to bypass or engage the active circuit for the 3-band EQ. The volume control contains a push/pull selector to switch between passive or active pickups. A two-way toggle switch splits the coils of the Jackson medium-output humbucking pickups for an expanded tonal landscape. 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.

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 guitar’s 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.

HiMass Bridge

This five-string, 35-inch scale bass features a HiMass hardtail bridge that enhances sustain and improves note attack.

Hardware and Finish

Featuring a unique 3 x 2 black headstock with an understated ‘J’ logo, the budget-friendly SBX V Guitar comes in a stage-conquering Metallic Black finish with black hardware.
