Full Description
View Full DescriptionIconic Rhoads styling
The Rhoads body shape remains one of the most recognisable designs in heavy music, delivering a bold visual statement that stands apart from conventional basses. Sharp lines, aggressive contours and classic Jackson aesthetics give the RRB IV a commanding presence on stage while maintaining comfortable balance for extended playing sessions. It captures the spirit of metal performance while remaining practical enough for regular use.
Neck-thru performance
Its neck-thru-body construction enhances sustain, resonance and upper-fret accessibility, creating a seamless playing experience across the entire fretboard. The maple neck is reinforced with graphite rods for added strength and stability, helping to keep things stable and rock-solid, no matter what you throw at it. This construction method also contributes to a more responsive feel, allowing notes to ring out with impressive authority.
Fast and comfortable feel
The 34-inch scale length delivers familiar string tension and punch, while the 12"–16" compound-radius amaranth fretboard provides excellent versatility. The rounder lower register supports comfortable bass lines and chordal work, while the flatter upper frets encourage faster runs and technical passages. Jumbo frets and pearloid sharkfin inlays complete a playing surface designed for speed, accuracy and confidence.
EMG-powered low-end authority
At the heart of the RRB IV is an EMG 35DC active humbucker, a pickup renowned for its powerful output, tight bass response and exceptional clarity. Whether driving heavy riffs, locking in with kick drums or pushing through high-gain guitar mixes, it delivers focused articulation and impressive punch. Simple volume and tone controls make it easy to dial in powerful sounds quickly, ensuring you spend less time adjusting settings and more time playing.
