Modern offset bass for progressive players
The Jackson X Series Spectra Bass SBX IV is built for bassists who want extended range and tonal flexibility in a single instrument. Its through-body maple neck and 24 jumbo frets support fast, intricate lines across the full register. The medium-output humbucking pickups deliver punchy, articulate fundamentals suited to modern styles.
Passive pickups with active EQ control
Dual passive humbuckers feed a 3-band active EQ, blend knob and volume control for wide tonal shaping without external power concerns in normal use. A two-way toggle splits the coils for single-coil textures when desired. The electronics run on a standard battery compartment accessed from the back.
Nyatoh body with through-body maple neck
The larger upper horn balances the nyatoh body against the strap for comfortable long sessions. Graphite reinforcement in the neck adds stability against humidity changes. Black hardware and dome-style knobs complete the Matte Army Drab finish. Standard 4-string bridge spacing and side-mounted output jack keep cable routing simple on stage.

Questions about this item
How do I set up the 12-16 compound radius neck and what step gets skipped?
Adjust the truss rod for relief, then set bridge saddle height to follow the compound radius curve; the step most players skip is re-checking relief after the saddle height change.
Which parts will need replacement after heavy gigging?
The 24 jumbo frets will wear first, followed by the passive humbucking pickups and the 3-band active EQ preamp if the battery compartment corrodes.
What limit appears first during a long set?
The active EQ preamp will cut out when its 9 V battery drops below operating voltage, usually after several hours of continuous play.
