Jackson CBXDX 5 String Bass

Description

The all-new Jackson® X Series CBXNT DX V concert bass is a highly versatile bass designed for one purpose: to add punch to your music. Its improved electronics, classic, brutal styling, and fast, responsive playability make this entry into the line a solid value. Perfect for rock, metal, or any style that demands deep, punchy bass, this bass offers exceptional value for money.

This 35-inch (89 cm) bass combines a poplar body with a graphite-reinforced, through-body neck for exceptional sustain. The speedy maple neck contour, 12-16" compound-radius laurel fingerboard, and 24 jumbo frets deliver lightning-fast playability. At the heart of this five-string beast are a Jackson J-Type bridge pickup and a Jackson P-Type neck pickup, coupled with a 3-band active EQ to add punch, edge, snarl, or growl to your tone. An all-new, sleek chrome Jackson Bass Bacher V hardtail bridge enhances note attack and sustain without altering your carefully crafted tone, while sealed die-cast tuners keep the strings in tune no matter how hard you play them.

The X Series CBXNT DX V concert bass raises the bar for style with its all-new Gloss Black (white pickguard) or Snow White (black pickguard) finishes and white body binding. Each finish features pearloid sharkfin inlays, chrome hardware including the bridge pickup cover, black skirted control knobs, and a black Jackson 5-string in-line headstock. The affordable CBXNT DX V is the perfect weapon for the player seeking the latest in high-performance bass technology.
