Pro Plus Limited Edition Pure Metal Concert Bass CB1A
Command the low end with the Jackson Pro Plus Pure Metal Series CB1A Concert Bass™. This thunderous four-string is engineered to deliver the foundation-shaking punch and articulate clarity that modern metal demands. The CB1A's single-ply bound poplar body and graphite reinforced three-piece maple neck-through construction provides the perfect balance of sustain and tight attack needed for precise metal bass lines. The compound radius ebony fretboard (12"-16") with 24 jumbo stainless steel frets ensures comfortable groove playing in the lower positions while remaining nimble for upper-register runs. Classic sharkfin inlays maintain Jackson's iconic metal aesthetic while marking your path across the fingerboard. Fishman® Fluence® Modern bass humbucker delivers devastating low-end power with exceptional note definition. Shape your sonic assault with the push/pull master volume that splits the humbucker into a single-coil configuration for vintage-style clarity and bite. The 2-band stacked EQ with concentric knobs gives you precise control over your bass and treble frequencies, while the 3-way mini toggle unleashes three distinct Fishman voices - from modern aggressive punch to vintage warmth and everything in between. From deep, grinding verses to punchy prog-metal passages, this versatile electronics package offers the tonal flexibility modern metal bassists require. The Jackson® Hi-Mass hardtail bridge anchors your tone with rock-solid intonation and enhanced sustain, while the 34" scale length provides the perfect string tension for both aggressive finger-style playing and pick attack. From its distinctive body shape to the pointed 4-in-line headstock, the Pro Plus Pure Metal CB1A Concert Bass™ embodies Jackson's aggressive DNA. Built to hold down the heaviest of metal foundations, it's designed to maintain impeccable tone through punishing tours and intense performances. When you need earth-moving low end and crystal-clear note articulation to drive your band's sonic assault, the Jackson Pro Plus Pure Metal Series CB1A Concert Bass™ delivers. This is the foundation-laying weapon that modern metal bassists demand.
