With modern style, flexible tone and incomparable value, the
Jackson® X Series Spectra Bass SBXQ V takes the adventurous
player on a bold bass odyssey, launching a commanding all-new
entry in Jackson’s formidable neck-through-body bass lineup.
The offset Spectra Bass body style was innovatively designed with
the gigging musician in mind. Its poplar body with rippling quilt
maple top has a larger upper horn that evenly distributes weight
throughout the instrument for perfect balance and playing comfort.
The graphite-reinforced through-body maple neck with scarf joint
creates formidable sustain, with a speed neck contour, 12”-16”
compound radius bound laurel fingerboard and 24 frets for superior
playability.
The SBXQ V provides a full-sonic spectrum for even the most
versatile and progressive bassists. Dual passive medium-output
humbucking pickups create a dynamic foundation with punch,
power and note articulation. Wide-ranging tonal command comes
from a two-way toggle switch for pickup coil splitting, 3-band active
EQ, blend control and volume control with push/pull selector to
bypass or engage active circuit for the 3-band EQ. The push/pull
selector eliminates the risk of losing sound due to a dead battery. A
quick pull on the volume knob bypasses the active circuit, making
it easy to regain sound from the bass without the use of battery
power.
This five-string, 35”-scale bass also features a HiMass™ hardtail
bridge that enhances sustain and improves note attack.
Budget friendly and loaded with value, the X Series Spectra Bass
SBXQ V comes in stage-conquering Transparent Black Burst with
a unique 3x2 black headstock with understated “J” logo and black
hardware.
