Full Description
View Full DescriptionComfortable offset body for perfect balance
The Jackson X Series Spectra IV features a sleek offset body shape designed with comfort and practicality in mind. Its poplar body includes a slightly extended upper horn that helps distribute weight more evenly, resulting in a well-balanced instrument that reduces shoulder strain during long sessions. Stand for a full gig or practise for hours at home with ease—the Spectra IV’s ergonomic contours keep you focused on your playing. Its gloss Candy Apple Red finish not only looks striking under stage lights but also gives the bass a durable, high-end feel.
Neck-through-body construction for superior sustain
At the core of the Spectra IV’s performance is a neck-through-body design that enhances resonance and sustain. The maple neck is reinforced with graphite, offering extra strength and stability across temperature and humidity changes. With a scarf joint and smooth heel transition, access to the upper frets is seamless and comfortable. The compound radius laurel fretboard—ranging from 12 inches at the nut to 16 inches at the heel—ensures easy chording near the headstock and effortless bends higher up the neck. Paired with 24 jumbo frets, the playing experience is fast, fluid and built for expression.
Versatile electronics with active/passive flexibility
The Spectra IV is packed with tone-shaping tools that make it suitable for just about any genre. It comes equipped with a pair of Jackson medium-output humbucking pickups that deliver tight low end, articulate mids and clear highs. A coil-split toggle lets you tap into single-coil-style clarity when needed, while a 3-band active EQ gives you precise control over bass, mid and treble frequencies. For added reliability, the volume knob includes a push/pull function that lets you bypass the active circuit—ideal for moments when battery power runs low, ensuring you’re never left without a signal.
Hardware built for stability and punch
Built to handle the rigours of live performance, the Spectra IV includes durable hardware designed to enhance tone and maintain tuning stability. The Jackson HiMass™ hardtail bridge anchors the strings securely and improves overall sustain and attack. Combined with sealed die-cast tuners, your tuning stays locked in even after aggressive playing or travel. The minimalistic 2x2 headstock keeps string tension consistent while reducing neck dive. From the solid bridge to the black dome-style control knobs, every component of the Spectra IV is engineered for reliability, making it a dependable choice for bassists who demand consistency on stage and in the studio.
