Eye-popping Good Looks, Tried-and-True Jackson Quality

The Jackson X Series Spectra Bass SBXP IV packs plenty of punch — and sleek looks to boot — with its poplar body, poplar burl top, maple neck, and active humbucking pickups. Upgraded with a HiMass bridge, two Jackson pickups, and coil-split circuitry, the SBXP IV makes it easy to dial in the perfect tone for any gig or recording session. For a commanding feel, the bass's Jackson Speed Neck profile is topped with a smooth compound-radius laurel fingerboard and jumbo frets for effortless playability. Plus, the addition of a poplar burl top and the stylish satin finish are sure to turn heads everywhere. If you're looking for a seriously gig-worthy bass at a great price, then look no further than the Jackson X Series Spectra Bass SBXP IV.

Compound-radius fingerboard for ultimate playability

The SBXP IV features a 12–16-inch compound-radius fingerboard for ultimate playability. The laurel 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.

Powerful electronics let you tweak your tone to perfection

Jackson stocks the SBXP IV with two medium-output active humbucking pickups, positioned to capture the fullest tone possible. With coil splitting and 3-band EQ, you can sculpt your tone any way you see fit. Whether you're recording soulful R&B or trying to cut through a speed metal mix onstage, the SBXP IV has the tone shaping power you need. Plus, the active electronics provide plenty of output to drive long cable runs, your effects chain, and your amp.

Built with unbeatable Jackson quality

Jackson's X Series incorporates Jackson's three-plus decades of instrument-building expertise, and the SBXP IV is no exception. You get resonant tonewoods, high-output electronics, and a fast neck with a silky-smooth fingerboard, all at a price that belies its performance. Many guitarists and bassists at Sweetwater — and across the globe — are fiercely loyal Jackson players. Check out the SBXP IV and you'll know why.

Jackson X Series Spectra Bass SBXP IV Features:

  • Poplar body with stunning burl top
  • Comfortable maple neck with Jackson Speed neck profile
