Professional Bass with Nordstrand SB4 Pickups

The Jackson Pro Series Spectra Bass SBFM IV is a professional-grade instrument built for seasoned musicians who demand articulate tone and versatile electronics. Its multi-laminate body with maple top and neck-through construction deliver exceptional sustain and resonance for stage and studio work. The Chlorine Burst finish and colour-matched headstock add distinctive visual character.

Active and Passive Tonal Flexibility

A 3-band EQ combined with active/passive switching provides a wide range of shaping options, letting players dial in sounds suited to any musical genre. The Nordstrand SB4 pickups capture nuanced dynamics with clarity and depth, though the active circuit requires a battery to operate. Players who prefer a purely passive signal path without onboard EQ may find the switching adds complexity they do not need.

Balanced Ergonomics and Stable Neck

The offset Spectra body with a larger upper horn distributes weight evenly for comfortable standing or seated play. A five-piece maple and walnut neck reinforced with graphite runs through the body, ensuring long-term stability and sustain. The speed profile and 12-16 compound radius caramelized jatoba fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets support fast, intricate lines. Bassists who favour a vintage radius or narrower neck profile may find the modern feel unfamiliar.

Questions about this item

Which configuration of the Jackson Pro Series Spectra Bass SBFM IV should I choose?

This model is offered as a single specification with a multi-laminate flame maple, walnut and mahogany body in Chlorine Burst, a five-piece maple/walnut neck-through construction and 24 jumbo frets on a compound radius fingerboard.

How does the compound 12-16 radius fingerboard feel when I am playing across the whole neck?

The radius starts rounder near the nut for comfortable chording and flattens toward the heel, letting you execute fast runs and wide stretches without choking out during bends or aggressive attack.

What does the active/passive switching actually change in my signal chain?

In active mode the onboard 3-band EQ boosts or cuts bass, mid and treble before the output jack; in passive mode the preamp is bypassed entirely, giving you a traditional high-impedance signal for vintage-style tone or direct recording.
