SX SBF1 Transparent Red 4-string Bassguitar

SX SBF1TWR is a full-size 4-string J-style bass designed for players who want classic looks, flexible tone, and dependable comfort in one instrument. Finished in a striking Transparent Red polished gloss, this model combines vintage-inspired style with modern versatility, making it a great choice for beginners and developing bassists alike.

The body is crafted from lightweight USA swamp ash, giving the bass a lively acoustic response and balanced feel, while the bolt-on Canadian hard maple neck with a comfortable C profile offers smooth playability. A rosewood fingerboard with 20 medium frets, dot inlays, and a 12-inch radius provides a familiar and easy-playing surface for both fingerstyle grooves and more energetic playing techniques.

Its JJ pickup configuration features Alnico 5 single-coil pickups, delivering the articulate punch and clarity expected from a traditional J-bass setup. With active/passive electronics and a mini toggle switch, the SX SBF1TWR gives you the freedom to switch between straightforward passive character and enhanced active shaping. Controls for master volume, blend, bass, and treble let you dial in anything from warm supportive lows to bright, cutting definition.

The vintage-style 4-saddle bridge, synthetic bone nut, open-gear tuners, and chrome/nickel hardware complete a reliable hardware package built for stable performance. Nickel plated steel strings in .045–.105 gauge offer a familiar playing feel, while the satin neck finish helps your hand move comfortably along the scale. Powered by a 9V battery, this bass is ready to deliver flexible sound for practice, rehearsal, or the stage.
