Modern Series Jax 5-32 Features:

Sandblasted Eastern White Pine Body
According to one tonewood dealer, "Pine sounds like what Alder would if it could." It's loud and punchy.

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Hades Roasted Maple Neck with Wenge Fretboard
The super dark roasted maple has been finished with a oil/poly/beeswax blend that feels amazing. The wenge fretboard adds a nice high end sparkle to your tone, similar to ebony.

EMG Active Pickups and Electronics
The neck pickup is a 40PCS (ceramic and steel magnets), which has a slightly scooped midrange, and the bridge pickup is a 40PA (AlNiCo magnets), which has a slight midrange boost, making them balance beautifully together. Both pickups are reverse split-coils in a 4" soapbar shell.

The electronics feature a volume, volume, and a BTS 2-band preamp, all powered by two 9v batteries.

Hipshot Bridge and Tuners
The KickAss bridge adds sustain while also giving you the ability to adjust the string spacing. The Ultralite tuners help keep this lightweight bass perfectly balanced.

DR Long-Neck Strings
DR Strings are a favorite among many pro musicians. Stainless steel Long-Necks have a hex core and tapered ends, plus are nice and bright and last a long time.

Gator 4G Gig Bag
A pro level gig bag with 20mm of padding to protect your investment.

Light Weight
This 5-string bass weighs in just over 8.5 lbs. even with a high-mass bridge and two batteries.
