Never thought I would be into Jackson basses, but I played one of these at a guitar store just out of curiosity and was blown away. Ordered one and can't wait to get it

[@alexskibicki2262]

Same here. I’ve tried one out at a guitar center as well a few years ago and I was impressed with the sound quality. I’ve been thinking about buying one. Especially since I’m interested in adding something different for my arsenal

[@dansagraves]

Played this bass at a store yesterday-prior to that, Jackson was not on my radar at all... Granted, those are your fingers and not mine making it sound so good, but you may have just been the deciding factor about buying this bass. Thank you!

[@2011FOG]

Dope teaching-if nothing else, the bass earns points for versatility and flexibility.

[@brianmoore1899]

Easily the best and most thorough bass guitar demo I've ever watched. Thank you. Chops ain't bad either, brother.

[@MOAB-UT]

Best tone of the entire video 11:40- a man loving on his bass. Great playing.

[@leonardgould6657]

YEAH! MAN!😂❤🎉

[@stancobb5544]

I love the look on your face when you’re happily surprised with a particular sound. I’m thinking about buying this bass, so I always check your reviews out because I trust you and you’re the best!

[@b.rodclark7349]

WHOA JACK! That sounds like a Jazz Bass through all the settings.

[@alacajun007]

I just ordered the Spectra SBP IV in the Carribean Burst finish, and after watching this I'm excited as all get out! Great demo! Update: Mine came in and I'm hooked! One of the best all-around basses I've ever played or owned. Installed a Hipshot D-Tuner on it to give me a little more range. I'm letting it settle in and then gonna set it up and make it perfect....

[@vabassin]

I believe after a couple hours of playing and knocking the extra twang off the new strings, the true voice of the bass will speak. Good demo!

[@vyshawnforeman8384]

I hate that twang of new strings.

[@kai326]

@@vyshawnforeman8384 yeah I'm gonna have to agree with you, it's really annoying at times, I love players like Flea who get that snappy upper end sound from their playing, but I prefer that lower end sound that's muddy and thunderous, I guess, so the new strings don't sound great a lot of the time. New strings also feel kinda stiff to me

[@ineedmoneysp]

I love my Jackson bass. I got a 5 String Jackson bass with Duncan pick ups. I think it was a concert series. I bough like a decade ago but still play it and love that bass to this day. The bass in this video is awesome too and so cool looking.

[@trident1314]

Reminds me of the ibanez SR basses, looks good and sounds nice and thick

[@bevinmodrak4997]

My thought exactly.

[@ronaldmorrow1198]

I told you this is a nice Bass... I hear it.. And I see you Smiling... love mine, I am a Jazz man . Sweet sound Slappppppp....Happy Nice

[@digitalneko7975]

Had my eyes on this for months. Love the neck through and the better pickups. Sounds Great! I already sold my Alien Burst 5 String. Great review!

[@revel9243]

How is it for you so far? What kind of music do you say the sound of the pickups support the most?

[@digitalneko7975]

@@revel9243 Didn't get it yet, i was comparing it to other popular bass guitars and keep coming back to this Jackon bass. I play jazz, metal, rock, blues, slap, I'm sure it can handle al genres of music like my old Alien Burst 5 did, amazing but this one has the high end Norstrand pick ups, a big game changer for the price! WHy bother with Musicman, Fender Jazz, P-Bass when you can get all that sound from a Jackson and more.

[@revel9243]

@@digitalneko7975 Yeah I'm trying to get into Jazz and classical so it sounds like this one's got the full package! I think the cherry burst version of this looks a lot better. Just ended up buying the cherry burst. Thanks for the info!

[@edwardfields8029]

Thanks for the demo. I bought the bass. Excellent sound. You're right in passive mode there's no toner Control. Just adjust from the amp. Passive sounds better to me. It's not a heavy instrument and has a really good sounding B string. The pickup blend is reversed. Turning it towards the neck selects the bridge pickup and vice versa. It's great if you want a pro level instrument without breaking the bank. Keep up the good work 🎸🎸🎸

[@tulpa1940]

I just got this bass and the mid freq switch is def a subtle change I struggled to hear at first. It'll def be the like cherry on top, the last thing I change when dialing in my tone. Great video running thru the bass!

[@ronaldmorrow1198]

Remember you are the first to show this Bass

[@michaelhinton6239]

I just got the standard Jackson Js spectra JS3 delivered yesterday but one day I would love to own a Jackson Pro

[@alexskibicki2262]

Groovy review, bully 😎🤘🏻🎸 those Jackson spectra basses sound phenomenal. And this one has such incredible tones. I’ve tried out a Jackson spectra bass a few years ago and they sound totally awesome. I personally like how it sounds in humbucker mode. And I’ve been thinking about getting one. That or a concert bass.

[@someone3662]

Nordies sound quite nice on this one

[@gnomebauer8138]

the face when you started goin in on sooper scoop mode.. fuckin great. Just now ordered up a 4 string variant of this one as a guitar player looking to pick up bass. Can't wait for it to get in.

[@efortunato8483]

Holy S..... This video is a "must see" for everyone who is thinking on use a three band bass. Great review of mid frequencies. Nice

[@danielroos5426]

I have the cherry version of this bass. I agree with Hamish below. It looks very much like my Ibanez SR2405w but it sounds so much better and there is no comparison in the build quality. It also costs about 1/3 less than the Ibanez. This bass is a really legit bass. I actually like it as well or even better than my EB Music Man Stingrays. I A/B'd them and I actually liked the Jackson better however, the strings are much older on my Music Man so that would have made a difference.

[@ronaldmorrow1198]

Very clear tones

[@ManuelHernandez-mw4cc]

I got one around Christmas, put Ernie ball flat wounds on it, I can barely put it down. Sounds so nice

[@SteveC-Shaman]

So far I'm loving mine. The adjustments and overall sound are not comparable to my Warwick Double-Buck but it has a sound all its own and I really like the neck.

[@marksfarmcraft1888]

Like proud papa! I like it, I like it. Very enjoyable watching you play. Thank you! I'm looking for a new 4 string and this is now in the short list.

[@kedellguevara2745]

I like this cuz its modern looks with vintage sound. Seems like u can still get a modernish-creamy sound.

[@darrellcox7592]

Hi Bully. I believe this is the first time I've listened to your channel with headphones. I always used my computer, phone, TV speakers. I feel I probably have missed a lot as far as audio. That being said, outside of your signature basses, this Jackson(kind of a different Jackson)sounds as good, or better than any bass I've heard you demo before. I like it's boutique sound. She's pretty and you might have to take her around town, hear how she sits in live mixes or you could keep her for yourself (and maybe lobster). the thumbnail pic caught my eye! Jackson/Fender? mmmm, Interesting.

[@sk1d509]

My man back at it again with another killer instrument

[@jeffjones1143]

That's a really beautiful instrument. I'm really diggin the wood combination not to mention the pickups! I always liked Nordstrands. I'm liking those strings too. The hum doesn't bother me since I played a Rick for years and had a noise gate! Anyway I always played Rotosound Swing Bass 66s. A couple of years ago I started playing DRs and found they lasted a little longer. What's your take on those MJCs? I know the Lobster swears by them. Yeah, and that bass does sound good too! Those Nordys really bark. Good stuff Bully!

[@seanychenav]

I really like the tone when the bass EQ is turned up, totally brings it home, so to speak. When I tried this bass at GC, the battery must have been dead so I couldn't try the EQ to get different tones, and left with the meh passive sound impression. I'm gonna go back and have it checked out with working battery.

[@stephenclarke9512]

Hi bro when you said neck pickup it was the bridge pickup and visa versa 😁

[@Theliraan]

Hi, man. Thanks for review! There aren't single coils. It's splits inside soap (so no noise from pickups coz it's variation of humbacker). Noise might be from low quality onboard preamp

[@TheGAMEGod_YT]

Let’s gooooooo

[@tsmoothyoung72]

i be sold... about to add it to my Ibanez family... Great demo...

[@danepaulstewart8464]

Wow, what a beautiful instrument! 👍👍👍👍

[@jj-eg5up]

Thanks for the video. I just learned about these a few months ago. I have been thinking about the Yamaha trbx 605, but these Jackson's are real easy on the eyes. I need to play both to see what I like. My go to is a mim jazz fsr. That bass is my baby, but I want something different for my first five string. I bought my boy the Minion btw. Thanks again

[@chillbro2275]

This thing looks smooth.

[@amart0]

I love how the review completely flipped from 11:30 onwards

[@BullyThaKidd]

It's like that. I just opened it up and plugged it in.

[@amart0]

@@BullyThaKidd that's what we love to see!!

[@nelsonporter8387]

Same control layout as my Ibanez SR4FMDX

[@johncandido2241]

Bully... Wassssuppp!!

[@TheGAMEGod_YT]

Woooooooo

[@mlchaelphelps1158]

Jackson basses are one of my favorite in that class of basses. Jackson inlays graphite stiffening bars in the necks of all there basses and guitars which is responsible for part of that powerful tone, just like Ken Smith basses, Kiesel, modulus graphite, which the whole neck is graphite.

[@dimspiratos1807]

Great Riffs!!!! Maybe my next bass...thank you! Between the Jackson and the Sire m7?? What are your thoughts?

[@yuichituba]

Looks almost identical to the Ibanez SR series.

[@jaimeortizrocks]

Sounds fucking good

[@MikeJ6129]

Ibanez got some competition !

[@xNachtmahRx]

I just bought my first own bass, have been a guitar player for 12 years...Still can't get the guitar habits out of my style and have to learn the finger and slap styles.. but! I picked the Yamaha TRBX605 over the Jackson Spectra series because the nut width was somehow smaller than the Jackson's, despite the Yamaha having a string spacing of 18mm...How is this possible when the string spacing is 1mm wider? Both basses sound great but my hands are very small, so I had to pick the smaller build...and it still hurts while playing metal styles... Great videos! Just found your channel!

[@paulbucklebuckle4921]

Bullyyyyyyyy......😎looks alone are a killer ,, the bass ofcourse,,,😁😂🤣

Is the neck slim? Wondering about lack of string spacing.

[@MrsLdyKiller]

Ho Bully, how much Is the intercord space???

[@ГеоргиКарчин-б5й]

That bass sounds awesome,but "crafted in Indonesia" doesn't sound good to me,especially for an expensive instruments...

[@gbvoul]

Jackson has become Fender's the "ibanez clone" brand now?

[@heftyjo2893]

The more I hear Nordstrand pickups. The more I'm wondering why I don't have them in all my basses. Thick like honey

[@scottmcfadyen293]

This instrument is exactly what i don't like about modern basses : focused way too much on the midrange and lacking in the quality of the warm rich bottom that makes a bass a Bass. My Yamaha TRBX 305 is much more of a real bass that can get the midrange if wanted to. Thanks for the full demo sir. can you tell me about the strings you use as i would like to try them.

[@karel2050]

So i fell in love with this bass although I want the 4 string one in that caribbean blue colour, but I have no store near me that has this bass. I am looking for a second bass atm I have my first ever bass a marcus miller v3 jazz bass and I love it I am just looking into a more modern type of bass/sound to change from time to time. I saw an ibanez with the same pickups I just don't like the finish as much. Is there anyone with some experience with this bass? Or just more experience I play a lot of slap but I also enjoy to play some TOOL so it has to be pretty versatile. Is this a good bass for what I do? Or should I go and try something like a stingray? Oh and before I forget to mention I play in a little band we just jam and cover some songs of all types of genres.

[@derickrichards1105]

Play the f****** B string 😂

[@MattHelps]

why the heck put that battery box in the middle of the neck thru??!?! deal breaker for me. ruins the look of the back.

[@dr.riccardo3575]

Either that's a small bass or you're a big dude. I'm hoping it's the former cuz I'm a pretty small guy and I gotta play a short scale for most gigs

[@kennycoffey5707]

Can't stand the buzzing of the frets.sounds unclean and not studio quility

[@Mike-li5uv]

Bully, love the channel but not a fan of the bass. Why spend $1000 for the Jackson when you can spend $300 less for a Sire M5 that has more versatility and better sound. The Nordstrand pickups don’t have any punch. Either way, keep up the great work.

[@javiersainz4287]

I think this jackson cost 400€.

its 899.99 everywhere here in the USA!!

Love nordstrand pickups It's a matter of taste

[@user-mt4vo4ey5n]

Nordstom pick ups, LOL. Get a free pair of underwear with purchase.

[@mickkopchak]

You failed to mention the pickup buzz as well as the bridge intonation adjustment is terrible. You are misleading people to buy a instrument that is worth about $300.00. Not $1000.00. You must be getting something for endorsing this high priced junk. Don't buy it. Bad review.
