Roaring 4-string Tone for All Your Playing Needs

With its high-quality construction and full-throttle sound, the Jackson X Series Concert Bass CBXNT DX IV is perfect for use across a variety of genres. A classic set of P/J pickups produce a muscular and rich bass tone, which is tweakable with an onboard 3-band EQ. A graphite-reinforced Jackson Speed maple neck with compound-radius laurel fingerboard marries sturdy construction with light-speed playability, perfect for sliding your fingers effortlessly up and down the bass’s 24 frets. Plus, a Jackson Bass Bacher IV neck-through-body hardtail bridge delivers a rapid attack and robust sustain, the perfect accent to round out this heavy-duty workhorse.

Bring the thunder with P/J pickups and a 3-band EQ

The CBXNT DX IV was designed with rock and metal players in mind, but don’t think of it as a one-trick pony: high-quality electronics and tone shaping options enable this bass for a wide range of playing styles. The timeless combination of P- and J-style pickups deliver boomy lows and thunderous punch, exploding with mammoth sound and gritty character. When paired with Jackson’s 3-band EQ, the CBXNT DX IV’s sound can be shaped for adding that extra bite to cut through the mix or the girth and growl necessary for a thick, aggressive bass tone.

Expert playability, supreme comfort

Jackson’s long history of top-notch quality and comfort is epitomized in the CBXNT DX IV’s sleek, speedy design and easy playability. The 12–16-inch compound-radius fingerboard is rounder near the nut for holding down the groove, flattening out further up the bass’s 24 frets for fast runs and string bends. Sweetwater bassists couldn’t stop playing the CBXNT DX IV’s maple neck with Jackson Speed neck profile, which is geared for technical players and reinforced with graphite for enhanced durability and sustain. It’s safe to say that picking up the CBXNT DX IV is easy; however, with its expert playability and supreme comfort, putting it down will take serious effort.

Jackson X Series Concert Bass CBXNT DX IV Features:

  • Poplar body provides a solid, balanced tonal base
  • Classic double-cutaway shape for easy upper-fret access
  • Timeless P/J pickups deliver punch and attitude
  • Active 3-band EQ supplies you with endless tone-sculpting options
  • Maple Jackson Speed neck and laurel fingerboard supply a lifetime of rock-solid performance
  • Easy-playing compound-radius fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets
  • Jackson Bass Bacher IV neck-through-body hardtail for enhanced attack and sustain

Why Buy Your Guitar from Sweetwater?

See how Sweetwater goes to great lengths to give you the very best online guitar buying experience. From our online Guitar Gallery that allows you to see and select the exact instrument you want to our 55-point Inspection process and our in-house guitar techs, we take the guesswork out of buying your next guitar online.

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

Note: While demo items from Jackson do not include the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation warranty, you can shop with confidence knowing that this item is backed and covered by Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Rated 5/5

Unbelievable playability action very fast,

Love playing this bass, so fun, I sold my rick 4001 that I bought in the 70's, I regretted selling that, however this neck reminds me of that rick bass but I think I like the fixability of the of the pickups setup better. Stone cold winner,
Music background: working bassist
