USA-built David Ellefson 4-string

Business will always be good with the Jackson USA Signature David Ellefson Concert Bass CB IV! A classic double-cutaway alder body provides a solid, balanced tone while enabling easy upper fret access. EMG active humbuckers deliver crystal-clear highs, lucid mids, and growling lows that you can shape to perfection with an active 3-band EQ. The David Ellefson Concert Bass CB IV’s neck-through-body design maximizes comfort and sustain, while graphite reinforcement and a scarf joint ensure rock-solid performance and stability. David’s USA-built signature bass guitar includes an easy-playing compound-radius fingerboard — exactly what David needs to execute technical, hard-hitting thrash metal. The Concert Bass CB IV features a robust HiMass 4-string bridge, super-stable Hipshot locking tuners, and an attention-grabbing “fallout” headstock logo with David’s signature.

Ceramic-loaded active pickups yield modern high-impact sound

Thanks to its active EMG humbuckers, the USA Signature David Ellefson Concert Bass CB IV yields a modern, high-impact sound. A low-impedance internal preamp pairs with ceramic-loaded dual-parallel coils, infusing your playing with crystal-clear highs, lucid mids, and growling lows. An active 3-band control supplies you with endless tone-sculpting options. You also get a master volume and pickup blend control. Plug this bass into your favorite amp and prepare yourself for the countdown to extinction.

Compound-radius fingerboard for ultimate playability

The Jackson USA Signature David Ellefson Concert Bass CB IV’s neck and fingerboard are spec’d to meet the demands of the technical player. Its neck-through-body design maximizes comfort and sustain, while graphite reinforcement and a scarf joint ensure rock-solid performance and stability. This bass’s 12–16-inch compound-radius fingerboard is rounder near the nut for holding down the groove. As you head up to the solo range of the instrument, the radius flattens out for easier runs and string bends.

Built with unbeatable Jackson quality

Jackson’s USA series represents the company’s best, and the Signature David Ellefson Concert Bass CB IV is no exception. You get resonant tonewoods, high-output electronics, and a fast neck with a silky-smooth fingerboard. Many guitarists and bassists at Sweetwater (and worldwide) are fiercely loyal Jackson players. Check out the USA-built David Ellefson Concert Bass CB IV, and you’ll know why.
