Four-string Concert Bass for rock and metal players

The Jackson X Series Concert Bass CBXNT DX IV is a four-string electric bass built for rock, metal and other genres that demand a robust low end. Its 34-inch scale poplar body and graphite-reinforced neck-through-body construction provide a solid foundation for aggressive playing styles. The active 3-band EQ circuit lets players shape punch, cut, rumble or grunt to match their sound.

Compound-radius laurel fingerboard

A 12-16 compound radius bound laurel fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets pairs with a speed maple neck contour for fast, comfortable fretting across the full register. The graphite reinforcement in the neck-through-body design adds sustain without adding weight that would strain the shoulder during long sets. Black hardware and a single-ply black pickguard complete the Absynthe Frost finish.

Active electronics and dual pickup configuration

A Jackson P-style neck pickup and J-style bridge pickup feed the onboard active 3-band EQ, giving wide tonal range from deep lows to articulate highs without external preamps. The electronics are powered by a standard battery compartment accessed from the rear. Players needing five strings, passive-only operation or a different scale length will need another model.

Questions about this item

How do I set up the 34-inch scale neck-through-body bass, and what adjustment do players often miss?

After stringing to pitch, check the truss rod relief at the 7th fret, then set saddle height at the 12th fret; the step most players skip is re-checking intonation at the 24th fret after any action change.

What components on the Jackson X Series Concert Bass CBXNT DX IV will need replacement over time?

The 24 jumbo frets on the laurel fingerboard will eventually wear and require a fret dress or refret; the active 3-band EQ preamp runs on a 9 V battery that should be swapped every few months with regular use.

What is the first limitation that appears during long, high-output sets?

The active 3-band EQ circuit draws continuous current, so the 9 V battery voltage will sag first, causing reduced headroom and EQ response before any thermal or mechanical limit is reached.
