Description
Designed in conjunction with one of the founding fathers of thrash metal��highly acclaimed bassist David Ellefson of Megadeth��the X Series Signature David Ellefson Concert Bass CBX V is a beast of a bass. Bearing his personal touches, packed with enormous Jackson sound and the hyper-fast playability required by the fleet-fingered bassist, this instrument is a force to be reckoned with.
Redesigned ergonomic contours provide the perfect platform for launching a musical assault��the upper contour provides a comfortably stable anchor for pick or fingerstyle playing alike while the lower contour provides perfect balance when propped on a knee for monitor stands. Designed for highly technical lightspeed playing, the 12��-16�� compound radius laurel fingerboard flattens out as you move up the neck for increased playing comfort and speedy articulation.
An earth-shaking pair of EMG HZ40 active humbucking pickups in the neck and bridge positions provide plenty of girth and cut as an active 3-band EQ bolsters their native power, shaping and refining it for maximum impact and versatility. The blend knob allows you to mix the pickups to your taste��add more neck pickup for a touch of warmth, or bring up the bridge pickup for more cut.
The Jackson HiMass 5-string bridge sharpens your notes�� attack for extra punch and clarity, granting enhanced sustain without significantly altering the bass�� fundamental tone. This bass proudly displays Jackson��s distinctive style; all-black hardware, including everything from the bridge to the Jackson die-cast sealed tuning machines, durable gloss finish, pearloid sharkfin neck inlays, single ply white neck binding and Jackson��s signature pointed 5-In-Line headstock along with a silver ��Fallout�� logo and Ellefson��s signature embossed on the truss rod cover.
Only one instrument is hardcore enough to keep pace with Ellefson��s technically demanding requirements��the X Series David Ellefson CBX V��and now it can be yours. Case sold separately.
