The Adam Blackstone "Gladys" Jackson Pro Series Signature Concert™ Bass, is a modern take on a legendary Jackson® shape. Carefully designed with features to meet the needs of the artist. The model’s name is a celebration to Adam’s grandmother: Mrs. Gladys Jackson.

This 34”-scale bass pairs a resonant poplar body and graphite-reinforced bolt-on neck design to generate formidable sustain, while the custom neck profile and 9”– 16” compound radius maple fingerboard and 21 jumbo frets make for super comfortable playability.

The heart of this five-string bass has custom Jackson BBE J-style pickups, voiced to the artist specifications, paired with an active 3-band EQ circuit to dial in that perfect tone. A Jackson Hi-Mass bridge enhances note attack and sustain without altering tone while the open-gear tuners combine for stellar tuning stability with improved note punch and sustain.

The Adam Blackstone "Gladys" Jackson Pro Series Signature Concert bass ups the ante in the style realm with all-new vivid black stone finish, creme pickguard, black block inlays, a mixture of black and gold hardware, dome-style control knobs, Jackson 4-and-one color matched paddle headstock and a gig bag. Highly affordable, this is the perfect bass for the musician who requires nothing less than the latest in high-performance bass technology.
