Product information "Jackson Pro Series Spectra V NT Blue Burst"
With the Spectra NT Blue Burst from the Pro Series, Jackson has a contemporary, versatile electric bass in its line-up. The 5-piece maple/walnut neck goes through the sandwich body. In terms of hardware and electronics, Jackson has opted for first-class components: a Jackson single-string hardtail bridge ensures the best vibration transmission, while the 3-band active preamp (passively switchable) delivers a modern, versatile sound in conjunction with the popular Nordstrand Soapbar pickups.

Jackson Guitars arose from Grover Jackson's takeover of the well-known company Charvel's Guitar Repair in 1978. The collaboration with then Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Randy Rhoads in 1980 resulted in the Rhoads body shape still available today and also marked the start of Jackson Guitars. The timing was perfect: heavy metal enjoyed a heyday in the 1980s and the trend (sparked by Eddie Van Halen) was for so-called super- or powerstrats. These are guitars that are visually more or less based on the classic ST shape but fitted with more modern and stylistically appropriate components like humbuckers or Floyd Rose tremolos. Jackson soon earned a reputation as a forge of first-class, USA-built high-end custom instruments, seen in the hands of many well-known guitarists of the era. With the musical changes of the 1990s, Jackson Guitars began opening factories in the Far East to offer their instruments in more affordable price ranges. Since 2002 both Jackson and Charvel have been part of the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation.
