Jackson Pro Series Spectra Bass SB V Poplar Burl – Blue Burst

The Jackson® Pro Series Spectra Bass is a finely crafted instrument with its very essence right there in the name — a bass for professionals. A bold bass designed to deliver the finest in style, tone, comfort, and playability for demanding and adventurous players.

The all-new Pro Series Spectra Bass SBA V features a unique multi-laminate flatsawn ash/walnut/maple/walnut/mahogany body wrapped in a stunning Blue Burst finish, complete with a 3×2 color‑matched headstock, “J” logo, and black hardware.

The offset Spectra body includes a larger upper horn for improved balance. A through‑body five‑piece maple/walnut/maple/walnut/maple neck with graphite reinforcement provides exceptional stability and sustain, while the 12″-16″ compound radius caramelized jatoba fingerboard with 24 frets and oval dark pearl inlays ensures smooth, fast playability.

Powered by Nordstrand® SB5 soapbar pickups with alnico V magnets, the SBA V delivers bright, clean, punchy tones. A three‑band active EQ, blend control, volume control, and two toggle switches (active/passive and mid‑frequency) provide wide tonal flexibility. The passive bypass ensures sound even if the battery dies.

This 35″‑scale, five‑string bass also includes a Jackson Single‑String hardtail bridge for enhanced note attack and sustain.
