Modern Bass for Adventurous Players

The Jackson X Series Spectra Bass SBX IV is a 4-string electric bass built with a neck-through-body design for the modern, adventurous musician. Its offset Spectra Bass body uses nyatoh with poplar wings and a poplar top, while the larger upper horn improves weight distribution and balance. A through-body maple neck reinforced with graphite and a scarf joint adds sustain and stability for confident performances.

Suits Progressive Styles Not Vintage Purists

This bass suits players who want flexible tone and extended range, thanks to a 12-16 compound radius laurel fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets that encourage fast, technical playing. Dual passive medium-output humbuckers, a 3-band active EQ, blend control, and a coil-split toggle give wide tonal command across genres. Bassists seeking a traditional passive-only instrument or a narrower vintage fingerboard radius should look elsewhere.

Stable Feel During Long Sets

The graphite-reinforced neck-through construction resists shifting under string tension, so tuning and action stay consistent through extended rehearsals or gigs. Active electronics run on a battery, but a push/pull volume selector lets you bypass the preamp instantly if power fails, keeping signal flowing without interruption. The compound radius and jumbo frets maintain comfortable playability as fatigue sets in during long sessions.

  • Nyatoh body with offset upper horn for balanced comfort

Questions about this item

What amplifier and cable do I need to play the Jackson X Series Spectra Bass SBX IV?

Any standard bass amplifier and a 1/4-inch instrument cable will work with the dual passive humbucking pickups and active EQ.

Can I keep using my existing passive bass pedals with the active 3-band EQ and coil-split toggle?

Yes, the push/pull volume selector bypasses the active circuit so the signal stays passive if the battery dies or you prefer a direct tone.

How do I confirm the compound radius laurel fingerboard and 24 jumbo frets are set up correctly?

Check that notes fret cleanly from the first to the 24th fret across the 12-16 compound radius without buzzing or choking.
