Rock & Metal Bass Ready
This Jackson X Series Concert Bass CBXNT DX IV is built for musicians who need low, punchy bass in rock or metal music. Its 34-inch scale, poplar body and graphite-reinforced neck-through construction deliver formidable sustain. The PJ pickup configuration blends a J-style bridge pickup with a P-style neck pickup for versatile soundscapes. An active 3-band EQ provides precise tonal shaping for aggressive or nuanced performance.
Active EQ Limits
The onboard active 3-band EQ requires a power source to operate the bass, mid and treble controls alongside master volume and blend knobs. Without battery power the preamp cannot shape the signal, so players must monitor battery condition for consistent tone. The PJ pickup blend offers wide range but cannot replicate single-coil or humbucker voicings outside its two pickup types. Players needing passive fallback or additional pickup combinations will find the circuit fixed.
Neck-Through Playability
The neck-through-body maple neck with graphite reinforcement enhances tuning stability and sustain across all 24 jumbo frets. A speed neck profile and 12-16 compound radius bound laurel fingerboard allow effortless transitions from low to high positions. Chrome Jackson bass hardware anchors strings securely for reliable intonation. Builders seeking bolt-on snap or vintage fret counts should consider other platforms.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the PJ pickup version or a different pickup layout?
The PJ configuration combines a J-style bridge pickup with a P-style neck pickup, giving you both tight punch and warm low end in one instrument.
How does the 34-inch scale feel when I am playing fast lines?
The 34-inch scale is standard for four-string basses; the speed neck profile and 12-16 compound radius laurel fingerboard keep string tension familiar while allowing quick position shifts across all 24 frets.
What does the active 3-band EQ actually control on stage?
The onboard preamp lets you boost or cut bass, mid and treble frequencies, while the blend knob balances the two pickups and the master volume sets overall output.
