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.
The 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.
