Description

The Jackson X Series Spectra Bass SBXQ IV is a blend of modern style, flexible tone and incomparable value. Designed with the pro guitarist in mind, the Spectra Bass was designed with an offset poplar body with a maple top featuring a larger upper horn that evenly distributes weight throughout the instrument for balance and comfort. A speedy maple neck includes graphite-reinforcement and a scarf joint to create formidable sustain and exceptional stability to withstand even the most aggressive playing styles. Dual passive medium-output humbucking pickups create a dynamic foundation with fantastic punch, growling power and clear note articulation, while wide-ranging tonal command comes from a two-way toggle switch for pickup coil splitting. Budget friendly and loaded with value, the X Series Spectra Bass SBXQ IV comes in standout Amber Blue Burst with a unique 2x2 color matched headstock with an understated “J” logo and black hardware.

    Amazing bass, built in 3 band EQ is amazing for sculpting your tone. Pickups are clear and precise, and the neck plays so fast almost like it was sculpted for my hand.

    I am new to playing the guitar, but not so new to quality products. The bass has no scratches or dings and only needed a tuning as the setup was spot on out of the box. This is my third guitar from guitar center. I have not had any issues with any of them

    I'm a pianist looking for a new challenge. Had picked up a 5 string bass a while ago. Loved it, but just too heavy. Trialed some 4 string out and loved this one. It's nice and lightweight. All one piece. Sounds nice. Just had my first lesson today. I'm hoping this guitar will grow with me.
