A Jackson Pro Series Signature Serving as a Stage Bass
Music director and award-winning songwriter Adam Blackstone designed this "Gladys" as a modern take on the Jackson Concert Bass shape, tailored for the demands of stages and tours. The name pays tribute to his grandmother, Mrs. Gladys Jackson, while all luthiery and electronics choices aim for a responsive, stable instrument ready to withstand intensive playing.Who Is It For, and What Styles?
This 5-string bass targets intermediate to advanced bassists seeking a versatile stage instrument, as well as demanding musicians for rehearsals and home studios. The long scale length of 34" / 864 mm provides solid low-end support, highly appreciated in modern styles. It is especially suited for R&B, gospel, pop, funk, and rock, offering precision for clean lines as well as more aggressive attacks.Sound Characteristics
The poplar body offers a balanced and fairly neutral foundation, ideal for letting the electronics and pickups define the final tone. The two Jackson BBE J-style pickups (JJ configuration) deliver an articulate grain, with firm lows, clear mids, and sharp attack-perfect for grooves and ghost notes. The 3-band active EQ preamp (bass, mid, treble) allows instant tone shaping: warmth and depth for support, or brightness and presence to cut through the mix. The HiMass bridge enhances attack and sustain, while the graphite-reinforced bolt-on neck improves stability and note consistency across the entire range.Recommended Compatible Accessories
To maintain the original feel, choose a 5-string bass string set in nickel-plated steel with a gauge of .045-.125 (1.14-3.18 mm). A standard strap is also suitable, as the bass is equipped with strap locks.Technical specifications
