JACKSON X Series Spectra Bass SBXP V Transparent Purple Burst
5-string electric bass with neck-thru construction, poplar-burl top and active electronics
The Jackson X Series Spectra Bass SBXP V Transparent Purple Burst combines the coveted Jackson feel with flexible rock and metal tones to create a practical 5-string E-Bass with top-notch value.
Woods and construction
Here, the sweeping design of the poplar body provides optimal balance on the strap and thigh, while the full-length graphite-reinforced maple neck lets even tricky grooves come off with ease thanks to its "speed neck" profile and compound fingerboard radius. A beautiful poplar burl top also enhances the five-string's classy look.
Pickups and Hardware
At the bass amp, split Jackson medium-output humbuckers not only provide extremely pushy bass tone with massive low end, but also transparent single-coil tones. For precise sound tuning, the Jackson X Series Spectra Bass SBX is also equipped with an active 3-band equalizer. For friends of traditional passive sounds, the EQ can be deactivated by pulling the volume knob. Last but not least, a Jackson HiMass bass bridge and tuning stable die-cast tuners complete the Jackson X Series Spectra Bass SBXP V Transparent Purple Burst electric bass.
Nimble handling and flexible tone, the Jackson X Series Spectra Bass SBXP V Transparent Purple Burst comes with maple speed neck throughout, split medium-output humbuckers and active EQ.
