The all-new Jackson® X Series Concert™ Bass CBXNT DX V is a highly versatile bass designed for one express purpose - bringing the thunder to your music. Upgraded electronics, classically brutal style and fast, efficient playability make this entry into the lineup a fundamental force to be reckoned with. Perfect for rock or metal - or other styles that demand low, punchy bass - this instrument is an unbelievable value.

This 35"-scale bass pairs a poplar body with a graphite-reinforced neck-through-body design that generates formidable sustain, while the speed maple neck contour, 12"-16" compound radius bound laurel fingerboard and 24 jumbo frets make for lightning-fast playability. The heart of this five-string beast is a Jackson J-style bridge pickup and Jackson P-style neck pickup, mated to an active 3-band EQ circuit for adding punch, cut, rumble or grunt to your sound. A brand-new stylish chrome Jackson Bass Bacher V hardtail bridge enhances note attack and sustain without altering your carefully crafted tone while the sealed die-cast tuning machines keep the strings in tune, no matter how hard you dig into them.

The X Series Concert Bass CBXNT DX V ups the ante in the style realm with all-new Gloss Black (white pickguard) or Snow White (black pickguard) finishes with white body binding, each featuring pearloid sharkfin inlays, chrome hardware including the bridge pickup cover, black skirt-style control knobs and Jackson pointed 5-in-line black headstock. Highly affordable, the CBXNT DX V is the perfect weapon for the musician who requires nothing less than the latest in high-performance bass technology.

A flashback to the 80's hot rodded basses 5 of 5 customers found this review helpful

Product Experience   I own it
Closest Store   Laval, Quebec
I grew up playing arcades while listening to Iron Maiden, Rush, the big four of thrash metal and many other hard hitting bands. Many of those bands featured either a Ric, A P-bass or J-bass that were modded over t ime to fit the genre better. That bass is the incarnation of that Era. Right out the box it brings you back in time just like you had your heroes hot rodded basses from that era in your hands. Pickups: The Neck pickups are reverse on the newer iterations of this bass. This gives a more rounded deep tone to the B,E and A strings while the D and G retain the classic P-bass sound. The Bridge pickup is situated at a J-Bass position but it as that Rickenbacker growl to it. You can either go full P-bass, full Jazz / rick or blend both for a well rounded tone. The preamp is rather discrete, it does not create exaggerated tones. Any setting will sound great in its own way. It cuts through a mix like a hot knife in butter. When recording It sits in its own spot. When soloed on its own, it is a bit bizarre. It doesnt have a great 'solo' tone. But when you play in a recording or in a band, you will find that it sits perfectly in the mix, like it was already EQ'ed to fit in. You only have to fine tune your balance and eq on the preamp for character. Neck through construction. Heavy bridge that sustain and adds character. Well filed fret ends. The neck feels like a 2x4. It is not the quickest neck. It is like a P-Bass but chunkier. Setup was poor from the factory. after a proper setup the action is a bit high for my taste, but since I am really digging hard on this one, it is where I would eventually set it for a hard plucking style. This bass wants you to dig in. So go ahead. Beat it up. Expect a bit of neck dive. The bass body is light and the neck heavy. You might want to remove the pickup cover as it is a bit awkward in its placement. I have owned it for 2 years without issues. I would not use it for mellower stuff, such as Jazz and blues. This bass prefers to sit with high gain guitars rather than tweedy tones. It is a 'niche' instrument. You like it or you dont depending on what you intend to play with it.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
