With its high-quality construction and full-throttle sound, the Jackson X Series Concert Bass CBXNT DX IV is perfect for use across a variety of genres. A classic set of P/J pickups produce a muscular and rich bass tone, which is tweakable with an onboard 3-band EQ. A graphite-reinforced Jackson Speed maple neck with compound-radius laurel fingerboard marries sturdy construction with light-speed playability, perfect for sliding your fingers effortlessly up and down the bass’s 24 frets. Plus, a Jackson Bass Bacher IV neck-through-body hardtail bridge delivers a rapid attack and robust sustain, the perfect accent to round out this heavy-duty workhorse.

Bring the thunder with P/J pickups and a 3-band EQ





The CBXNT DX IV was designed with rock and metal players in mind, but don’t think of it as a one-trick pony: high-quality electronics and tone shaping options enable this bass for a wide range of playing styles. The timeless combination of P- and J-style pickups deliver boomy lows and thunderous punch, exploding with mammoth sound and gritty character. When paired with Jackson’s 3-band EQ, the CBXNT DX IV’s sound can be shaped for adding that extra bite to cut through the mix or the girth and growl necessary for a thick, aggressive bass tone.





Expert playability, supreme comfort





Jackson’s long history of top-notch quality and comfort is epitomized in the CBXNT DX IV’s sleek, speedy design and easy playability. The 12-16-inch compound-radius fingerboard is rounder near the nut for holding down the groove, flattening out further up the bass’s 24 frets for fast runs and string bends. Sweetwater bassists couldn’t stop playing the CBXNT DX IV’s maple neck with Jackson Speed neck profile, which is geared for technical players and reinforced with graphite for enhanced durability and sustain. It’s safe to say that picking up the CBXNT DX IV is easy; however, with its expert playability and supreme comfort, putting it down will take serious effort.
