Jackson X Series Spectra Bass SBX IV – Matte Blue Frost

The Jackson X Series Spectra Bass SBX IV, Matte Blue Frost is built for bassists who demand modern style, powerful tone, and uncompromising performance. Designed with the gigging musician in mind, this four-string bass combines a sleek, balanced body shape, advanced electronics, and fast, comfortable playability—making it the perfect choice for players in any style from rock to funk to metal.

Its offset Spectra Bass body in poplar provides excellent resonance and comfort, with a larger upper horn for perfect balance whether playing seated or standing. The neck-through-body maple neck with graphite reinforcement ensures exceptional sustain and stability, while the 12"-16" compound radius bound laurel fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets delivers effortless chording in the lower register and lightning-fast runs higher up the neck.

The SBX IV’s tonal versatility is unmatched, thanks to dual passive Jackson medium-output humbucking pickups paired with a 3-band active EQ and coil-splitting capabilities. The push/pull volume control lets you switch between active and passive operation instantly, ensuring you’ll never lose your sound—even if your battery runs out mid-performance. A Jackson HiMass™ hardtail bridge adds sustain and improves attack, while sealed die-cast tuners keep your tuning rock-solid.

With its commanding Matte Blue Frost finish, white binding, black hardware, and unique 2x2 headstock, the Jackson X Series Spectra Bass SBX IV delivers both killer looks and high-end performance—without the high-end price tag.
