Pro Plus LTD Pure Metal Concert Bass CB1A
Take command of the metal realm with the Jackson Pro Plus Pure Metal CB1A Concert Bass.
This thunderous four-string combines massive punch with the clarity demanded by modern metal.
Its poplar body, adorned with single-ply binding, and its neck-through-body construction made of three-piece maple reinforced with graphite rods, deliver the perfect balance of sustain and sharp attack—an ideal match for executing bass lines with surgical precision. The compound-radius (12"-16") ebony fingerboard, fitted with 24 jumbo stainless steel frets, offers supreme comfort for low-end grooves and effortless agility for high-register runs. Classic pearloid sharkfin inlays give the CB1A that iconic, menacing Jackson look while helping you navigate the fretboard.
The Fishman Fluence Modern bass humbucker unleashes devastating low end with exceptional definition. Thanks to the push/pull volume knob, you can split the humbucker into a single-coil configuration for a biting vintage-style tone. A dual concentric 2-band EQ lets you fine-tune treble and bass frequencies, while a 3-way mini toggle switch gives you access to three distinct Fishman voices. From aggressive modern punch to warm vintage character, from crushing verses to energetic progressive passages, this versatile electronics setup delivers all the flexibility today’s metal bassists demand.
The Jackson Hi-Mass fixed bridge anchors your tone with rock-solid intonation and phenomenal sustain, while the 34" (864 mm) scale length ensures perfect string tension for the most aggressive fingerstyle or pick-driven playing.
From its bold body shape to its pointed headstock with four inline tuners, the Pro Plus Pure Metal Concert Bass CB1A radiates Jackson’s most menacing DNA. Gig after gig, tour after tour, it guarantees flawless tone for your most brutal performances. If you need low end that’s as sharp as it is fierce to lead your band’s sonic assault, the Jackson Pro Plus Pure Metal Concert Bass CB1A checks every box for the modern metal bassist.
