Product Description

Here's what Jackson say about the Spectra Bass SBXQ V:

With modern style, flexible tone and incomparable value, the Jackson X Series Spectra Bass SBXQ V takes the adventurous player on a bold bass odyssey, launching a commanding all-new entry in Jackson’s formidable neck-through-body bass line-up.

The offset Spectra Bass body style was innovatively designed with the gigging musician in mind. Its poplar body with rippling quilt maple top has a larger upper horn that evenly distributes weight throughout the instrument for perfect balance and playing comfort. The graphite-reinforced through-body maple neck with scarf joint creates formidable sustain, with a speed neck contour, 12”-16” compound radius bound laurel fingerboard and 24 frets for superior playability.

The SBXQ V provides a full-sonic spectrum for even the most versatile and progressive bassists. Dual passive medium-output humbucking pickups create a dynamic foundation with punch, power and note articulation. Wide-ranging tonal command comes from a two-way toggle switch for pickup coil splitting, 3-band active EQ, blend control and volume control with push/pull selector to bypass or engage active circuit for the 3-band EQ. The push/pull selector eliminates the risk of losing sound due to a dead battery. A quick pull on the volume knob bypasses the active circuit, making it easy to regain sound from the bass without the use of battery power.

This five-string, 35”-scale bass also features a HiMass hardtail bridge that enhances sustain and improves note attack.

Budget friendly and loaded with value, the X Series Spectra Bass SBXQ V comes in stage-conquering Transparent Black Burst with a unique 3x2 black headstock with understated “J” logo and black hardware.

Mr James Riding5th Jan 2022

Bought this as my first bass as a reliable piece of kit that can cover any rock/metal genre. I was initially going to go for a JS series bass but could not pass this up in the sale. The only other bass I had played prior was a 4 string 34" scale length p-bass style bass. This bass felt reasonably larger initially but was very quick to get used to. My favourite style of bass playing is imitating Steve Harris and I was worried that being a 5-string bass the strings would be too close together to be able to achieve this, but the spacing is really comfortable for this style of playing. The bass looks fantastic and plays really nicely out of the box. The bass is nicely weighted with no sign of neck dive at all. There are a couple of quality control issues with the finish such as a fair few blemishes underneath the clear coat on the neck and sanding through finish to the wood at the high end of the neck. I am mainly a guitar player so have only been able to play it quietly through a guitar amp but it still sounds great and the 3 band EQ gives a fantastic range of tones. As I am not too bothered about the quality issues, I am really pleased with this bass and I am confident that it will serve me well for many years.
