Description
Some basses are built for the studio couch. This one’s built for the pit, the stage, and every load-in in between. The Jackson X Series Concert Bass CBXDX IV pairs a poplar body with a graphite-reinforced maple neck, giving you the kind of sustain and stability that holds up under heavy digging and drop tunings alike.
The speed maple neck contour is shaped for players who move fast across the fretboard, and the laurel fingerboard’s 12″-16″ compound radius keeps chords comfortable up top while letting you dig into low, aggressive riffs down low. Twenty-four jumbo frets give you the real estate to explore the entire range of the 34″ scale without running out of neck.
Tone comes from a Jackson J-style bridge pickup working alongside a Jackson P-style neck pickup, both routed through an active 3-band EQ. That means you’re not stuck with one voice u2014 dial in punch for cutting through a mix, scoop the mids for a modern growl, or push the lows for pure rumble. The Jackson Bass Bacher IV hardtail bridge locks in note attack and sustain without coloring what your pickups and preamp are already doing, and sealed die-cast tuning machines keep you in tune no matter how hard the set gets.
Finished in a matte Army Drab that shrugs off fingerprints and stage sweat, this bass looks as no-nonsense as it plays. For bassists who want serious low-end tools without a boutique price tag, the CBXDX IV earns its spot on the gig rig.
