Independent shopping perspective
David Ellefson’s CBX IV is a right-handed four-string signature bass built with a basswood solid body, bolt-on maple neck, and 34-inch scale. Its 21-jumbo-fret dark laurel fingerboard uses a 12–16-inch compound radius that flattens further up the neck. EMG HZ35 humbuckers pair with an active three-band EQ, volume control, and pickup blend for adjustable neck-to-bridge balance. The Jackson HiMass four-string bridge is designed to bring added attack, clarity, and enhanced sustain.
