Jackson X Series Concert Bass CBXNT DX IV Matte Army Drab
Product information "Jackson X Series Concert Bass CBXNT DX IV Matte Army Drab"
The Concert Basses from the Jackson X Series feature a 34-inch scale length and therefore belong to the longscale basses. They have a poplar body with a graphite-reinforced neck-through-body construction that produces impressive sustain, while the comfortably playable maple neck profile with the laurel fretboard with a 12"–16" radius and 24 jumbo frets provides lightning-fast playability.
The heart of these exceptional basses are a Jackson J-style bridge pickup and a Jackson P-style neck pickup, wired to an active 3-band EQ circuit so you can personalise and dial in your tone optimally. A brand-new, stylish, chrome Jackson Bass Bacher hardtail bridge enhances tonal response and sustain without altering your carefully crafted tone, while the sealed die-cast tuners keep the strings in tune no matter how hard you strike them.
The X Series Concert Basses set new standards in style with the brand-new finishes Matte Army Drab, Gloss Black and Rocket Red with white body binding, each featuring a parchment pickguard, pearloid sharkfin inlays, chrome hardware including the bridge pickup cover, black skirt-style knobs and Jackson's pointed black four-in-line headstock. These extremely affordable models are the perfect weapon for players for whom anything less than the latest high-performance bass technology is not an option.

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.
