Jackson X Series Concert Bass CBXNT DX V, Black

The Jackson X Series Concert Bass CBXNT DX V delivers low-end authority built for modern aggression. Designed to meet the demands of high-output playing styles, this five-string bass combines fast feel, tonal flexibility, and hard-hitting construction—traits that have defined Jackson’s X Series approach.

Its 34-inch scale length and neck-through-body design set the stage for extended sustain and rock-solid stability. A poplar body and a maple neck reinforced with graphite rods ensure strength under tension, while the scarf joint supports comfortable access to all 24 jumbo frets. The bound laurel fingerboard features a 12"–16" compound radius, tapering from round to flat for effortless transitions between rhythm anchoring and upper-register runs.

A Jackson P-style neck pickup and J-style bridge pickup form the foundation of its voice, enhanced by an active 3-band EQ system capable of sweeping tonal shifts. Whether adding bite to mids, scooping lows, or boosting presence for slap articulation, the electronics respond dynamically to touch. The Jackson Bass Bacher V hardtail bridge contributes to tight note definition and a strong initial attack, while sealed die-cast tuners help maintain tuning integrity during heavy sessions.

The CBXNT DX V stands out visually with aggressive accents, chrome hardware, and distinct finishes like Gloss Black or Snow White. A bound body, pearloid sharkfin inlays, and the iconic Jackson 5-in-line headstock complete a look as commanding as its tone.
