The Spectra Bass SBX IV stands out with its bold, ergonomic design. Its poplar body is sculpted to ensure maximum comfort during long playing sessions, while ensuring even weight distribution. This detail is particularly appreciated by bassists looking for a perfect balance between comfort and performance.

In addition, the maple through-body neck, reinforced with graphite bars, adds remarkable stability and sustain, crucial for achieving a rich and consistent sound.

In addition, the sonic capabilities of the Spectra Bass SBX IV are impressive. The 2 passive Jackson humbucking pickups capture a wide range of frequencies, offering an extended sonic palette. This configuration, combined with sophisticated electronics including 3-band active EQ and a coil split selector, allows for precise sound refinement, ranging from deep bass to crystal clear highs, while maintaining exceptional clarity.

Finally, the Spectra Bass SBX IV’s control system includes advanced features such as push-pull on the volume knob, allowing active EQ to be bypassed when needed. The HiMass fixed bridge also helps to optimize sustain and note attack, enhancing the player’s musical expression.
