From its aggressive aesthetics to its impressive tonal flexibility, this bass guitar is designed to cut through dense mixes with tight, thunderous low end and razor-sharp articulation.

Whether you're grinding out low-register chugs or navigating intricate passages with surgical precision, the CB1A delivers the clarity, punch and sustain that metal bassists demand. Every detail—from the sharkfin inlays to the Luminlay side dots—is engineered for performance under pressure.

Fishman Fluence Humbucker for Versatile Tone

The heart of the CB1A is its Fishman Fluence Modern bass humbucker, engineered to deliver crushing lows with crystal-clear articulation. With a push/pull master volume control, this pickup seamlessly switches between humbucker and single-coil modes, giving you access to both aggressive modern tones and vintage-style clarity. The onboard 2-band EQ, controlled via concentric knobs, allows you to fine-tune bass and treble frequencies with precision. Additionally, a 3-way mini toggle switch unlocks three distinct voicings, ranging from deep, grinding lows to warm, classic tones. Whether you're crafting sludgy riffs or razor-sharp prog metal lines, this pickup setup provides the sonic flexibility needed to carve out your unique place in the mix.

Neck-Through Construction for Stability and Sustain

This concert bass guitar features a neck-through-body design, combining a poplar body with a three-piece maple neck reinforced with graphite rods. This construction enhances sustain, ensuring that every note rings with clarity and power, even in the heaviest of mixes. The neck's stability provides reliable performance, especially for aggressive players. With a 34" scale length, this instrument maintains optimal string tension for both fingerstyle and pick players. The sleek gloss neck finish promotes smooth hand movement, making it an ideal choice for navigating fast passages or intricate fills. This design ensures that the CB1A delivers consistent tone and playability, no matter the performance environment.

Compound Radius Ebony Fingerboard for Speed and Comfort

Designed for both speed and precision, the CB1A's compound radius ebony fingerboard transitions from 12" at the nut to 16" at the upper frets. This allows for comfortable chording and riffing in the lower register, while providing a flatter radius for fluid lead lines higher up the neck. The 24 jumbo stainless steel frets are durable and responsive, making it easy to execute complex techniques with clarity. Luminlay side dots ensure visibility on dark stages, while the sharkfin inlays add a sharp visual edge to this bass's aggressive aesthetic.

Jackson HiMass Hardtail Bridge for Enhanced Sustain

The Jackson HiMass hardtail bridge provides rock-solid intonation and increased sustain, ensuring that every note resonates with authority. Its durable construction anchors the strings firmly, reducing unwanted vibration and enhancing overall tonal consistency. Individual saddles offer precise adjustability, accommodating a variety of playing styles and setups. Paired with Jackson's sealed die-cast tuning machines, the bridge contributes to exceptional tuning stability, even during heavy performance demands. This hardware setup ensures that the CB1A remains reliable on stage and in the studio, making it a trusted companion for serious bassists seeking professional-grade performance.
