Jackson and Megadeth’s David Ellefson joined forces to bring a fresh new spin on his signature lineup with the 4-string X Series Signature David Ellefson Concert™ Bass CBXM IV and 5-string X Series Signature David Ellefson Concert™ Bass CBXM V. These hard-hitting models are ravishing in look and sound, exquisite in feel and loaded with personal design touches straight from the man himself.

Both models feature a poplar body constructed with an upper contour that provides a comfortably stable anchor for pick or fingerstyle playing alike, and a lower contour for perfect balance when propped on a knee. A graphite-reinforced bolt-on quartersawn maple neck provides the utmost stability for highly-technical lightspeed playing, while the 12”-16” compound radius maple fingerboard has been designed for increased playing comfort and speedy articulation. A heel-mount truss rod thumbwheel also allows for quick and convenient neck adjustments.

"Parallel bass processing has been used for decades. Dual rigs or multiple plugins would be configured to distort treble for clarity and aggression, and compress lows for a massive foundation. With Parallax we have brought all of these configuration options into an easy to use solution, allowing users to produce fantastic tones much faster than is possible with multiple plugins or analog gear."

"We process the Mid and Treble bands separately using our proprietary tube modeling technology for rich harmonics, and natural response.
