Jackson X Series RRB IV Rhoads Bass Black with White Pinstripes

Jackson X Series RRB IV Rhoads Bass for Uncompromising Metal Tone!

The Jackson X Series RRB IV Rhoads Bass brings the aggressive Rhoads silhouette into the world of four-string metal basses. With a neck-through construction, active EMG power, a 34" scale length and a fast compound-radius fingerboard, this electric bass delivers the punchy low end, clear definition and uncompromising stage presence that heavy riffs and dense walls of guitar demand.

Striking Rhoads Shape for Maximum Stage Impact

The Rhoads body represents a sharp, angular aesthetic unmistakably tailored to metal. The asymmetrical shape creates a distinctive look that stands apart from classic bass designs and immediately signals what this instrument was built for: heavy riffs, precise rhythm work and uncompromising performance. The poplar body provides a resonant, balanced foundation with direct response and a solid low end.

Neck-Through Construction with Sturdy Reinforcement

The one-piece maple neck supports long sustain, even vibration transfer and a seamless playing feel across the entire neck. Graphite reinforcement and a scarf joint increase stability and help keep the neck reliably straight even under heavy use. The color-matched gloss neck finish emphasizes the continuous, aggressive character of the instrument and complements the design's clean lines.

Fast Fingerboard for Technical Bass Lines

The amaranth fingerboard with a 12" to 16" compound radius combines comfortable fretting in the lower registers with a flatter surface for fast runs higher up the neck. 21 jumbo frets provide a gripping response and make precise articulation easier, while pearloid sharkfin inlays deliver the signature Jackson look. The 34" scale length provides classic long-scale string tension, defined attack and a firm feel for fast eighths, galloping metal grooves and punchy riffs.

Active EMG 35DC Humbucker

At the heart of the sound is an EMG 35DC humbucker, delivering powerful low mids, clear definition and a commanding response. Even against distorted walls of guitar, the tone stays focused and provides the presence needed so bass lines don't get lost. Simple controls with volume and tone give quick access to the core sound without unnecessary complexity, keeping the focus on performance, timing and punch.

Reliable Hardware for Heavy-Duty Use

The Jackson Hardtail bridge provides solid tuning stability, direct vibration transfer and maximum sustain. Closed Jackson die-cast tuners support precise tuning and reliable performance on stage, in the rehearsal room and in the studio. Black hardware, dome-style knobs and the pointed Jackson 4-in-line headstock complete the consistently metal aesthetic. This bass is built for immediate response, clear control and strong presence.
