General

The no-nonsense Jackson X-Series Spectra basses already boast an insane level of versatility considering the price tag, and the SBX IV is no exception. This no-nonsense, modern bass piles on the attitude via a stable, boutique-grade neck-through-construction that should definitely cost twice the price. The offset nyatoh body is perfectly balanced while the neck has been reinforced with graphite, enhancing the sustain while reducing sensitivity to temperature and humidity, and the fretboard has been given a fully up-to-date compound radius, so your fret-hand is treated to the rounded grip of 12 inches at the headstock and a flatter, controlled feel closer to the body. Full sonic force is supplied by a pair of Jackson medium-output humbuckers complete with active three-band EQ controls and a Blend pot to tweak the EQ output level; and to dial back to a lighter, passive output, simply bypass the active circuit by toggling the push-pull volume pot.

Wrote the following about Jackson X Series Spectra Bass SBX IV Bass Guitar (Matte Army Drab)

Deze gitaar had een behoorlijk probleem, het toetsenbord moest worden afgesteld. Het probleem werd in Goes direct verholpen. Dus heel blij met deze mooi geprijsde. Goed uitziende en goed uitgeruste basgitaar die heel mooi klinkt.

Na een ruim half jaar spelen toch een minpunt: als je treble en/of mids boost, krijg je erg veel hum (ruis). Ik kan dat alleen voorkomen door treble en mid niet boven de middenpositie te draaien.

Wat een fantastisch instrument. Ik ben aangenaam verrast door het speelgemak en de uitgebreide EQ mogelijkheden. Je kunt hier qua toon en stijl echt alle kanten mee op. Ik had niet kunnen denken dat je zoveel basgitaar kunt krijgen in deze prijsklasse. Je moet het zelf ervaren om te begrijpen wat ik met speelgemak bedoel. Ik kan hem echt iedereen aanraden binnen dit budget.
