Superior sound for versatile bassists

The Jackson X Series Spectra Bass SBX IV delivers rich, articulate tones through dual medium-output humbucking pickups. A two-way toggle switch enables coil splitting, while a 3-band active EQ and blend control provide wide tonal command. The push/pull volume selector bypasses the active circuit, eliminating the risk of signal loss from a dead battery.

Enhanced playability from neck and fretboard

The graphite-reinforced through-body maple neck features a speed profile and a 12-16 compound radius laurel fingerboard. Twenty-four jumbo frets allow fluid movement across the entire register. The offset body style with a larger upper horn distributes weight evenly for balanced comfort during long sessions.

Premium build with through-body construction

Nyatoh body wood and through-body maple neck construction ensure exceptional stability, resonance and sustain. Black hardware and dome-style control knobs complement the gloss black finish on the streamlined S-style body. This combination supports reliable performance for gigging musicians.

Questions about this item

How often will the active EQ's 9 V battery need changing under daily use?

The push/pull volume pot bypasses the active circuit, so the bass still works passively if the battery dies mid-set; typical battery life is months of regular playing.

What limits comfort during a three-hour gig?

The nyatoh body with its enlarged upper horn balances the 24-fret neck, reducing neck-dive and spreading weight across the shoulder.

How much heat or noise does the onboard preamp add during extended play?

The solid-state preamp draws only micro-amps from its 9 V cell, producing no audible hiss and no perceptible warmth on the control plate.
