Ultra-modern Electric Bass from Jackson

Get impeccable tone, playability, and stage-ready design with the X Series Spectra V from Jackson. This ultra-cool offset body 5-string bass features a poplar body with a captivating gloss finish for stellar resonance and lightweight playability. A beautiful maple neck and fingerboard offer incredible response and feel, and a pair of Jackson medium-output humbucking pickups deliver sweet low end with just the right flavorings of mids and highs.

Articulate pair of humbuckers

The dual passive Jackson medium-output humbucking pickups have won over legions of bass players for their sweet, smooth low end. And with a two-way toggle switch for pickup coil-splitting, a 3-band active EQ, a blend control and volume control with push-pull selector to bypass or engage active circuit for the 3-band EQ, the tone-shaping options at your fingertips are truly impressive. And with a HiMass hardtail bridge, whatever tone you are dialing in will be supported in sustain and note articulation.

Neck designed for comfort and response

The graphite-reinforced through-body maple neck is a favorite among bassists here at Sweetwater for its incredible sustain and durability. This awesome neck is also cut to a compound radius that moves from 12" at the nut to 16" at the heel. This gradual flattening up the neck makes chords and riffs easier on the hand and the fingers, improving tone and intonation. The 24 jumbo frets are also easy on the fingers.
