Just as the name suggests, the Jackson Pro Series Spectra Bass SBP V 5-String Electric Guitar is a professional-grade instrument, meticulously crafted for the discerning and adventurous musician. This isn't just a bass guitar; it's a bold statement of style, tone, comfort, and playability that stands head and shoulders above the competition. The Pro Series Spectra Bass SBP V is a visual masterpiece, boasting a unique multi-laminate flatsawn ash/walnut/maple/walnut/mahogany body that's enveloped in a stunning Blue Burst finish. This eye-catching design extends to a 3x2 color-matched headstock, subtly adorned with a "J" logo and complemented by sleek black hardware.
Designed with the professional musician in mind, the innovative offset Spectra Bass body style features a larger upper horn, ensuring an even weight distribution for optimal balance and playing comfort. The through-body five-piece maple/walnut/maple/walnut/maple neck, reinforced with graphite, guarantees ultimate stability and formidable sustain. The guitar's playability is further enhanced by a speed neck contour and a 12"-16" compound radius caramelized jatoba fingerboard. With 24 frets and oval dark pearl inlays, this guitar offers superior playability for even the most versatile and progressive bassists. The Pro SBA V is equipped with Nordstrand SB5 single-coil soapbar bridge and neck pickups, featuring alnico V magnets.
These deliver a striking, all-around sound that's brighter, cleaner, and punchier. The three-band active EQ, blend control, and volume control provide wide-ranging tonal command, while a two-way toggle switch allows for bypassing or engaging the active circuit for the 3-band EQ. This feature ensures you never lose sound due to a dead battery, offering easy sound recovery without the need for battery power. An additional three-way toggle switch allows for precise mid-frequency range control, providing even more tonal versatility. This 35"-scale, five-string bass also features a Jackson Single-Sting hardtail bridge, enhancing individual note attack and improving sustain.
The unique multi-laminate ash/walnut/maple/walnut/mahogany body not only lends this model a stunning aesthetic, but also improves sustain across the instrument's body and increases resistance to environmental stress. The Nordstrand SB5-B/SB5-N Pickups, featuring alnico V magnets, deliver an all-around striking sound that's brighter, cleaner, and punchier. Whether played clean or dirty, these aggressive pickups retain a tone that is articulate, defined, and rich with punchy thump. The Jackson Pro Series Spectra Bass SBP V 5-String Electric Guitar is more than an instrument; it's a testament to superior craftsmanship and design.
