Jackson Pro Series Adam Blackstone Gladys Concert Bass
Named in honor of Adam Blackstone's grandmother, the "Gladys" Concert Bass is a modern powerhouse designed for the discerning musician. As the musical mastermind behind superstars like Justin Timberlake, Rihanna, and Janet Jackson, Blackstone knows what it takes to lay down a world-class groove.
This signature instrument combines Jackson's legendary design with custom features specified by the Grammy-winning artist himself, delivering professional performance and stunning style in one affordable package.
Tonal Control and Flexibility
The "Gladys" is built to handle the sonic diversity of a Super Bowl halftime show or a studio session with equal ease. At its core, this bass is a tone machine designed to cut through any mix with authority and precision.
Custom Jackson BBE J-style Pickups: Voiced to Adam Blackstone’s exact specifications, these pickups deliver a fat, articulate tone with incredible punch. They provide the warmth of classic J-style pickups but with an enhanced low-end and dynamic range that cuts through any mix.
Active 3-Band EQ: Fine-tune your sound with precision. The active 3-band EQ circuit allows you to boost or cut bass, mid, and treble frequencies, making it easy to dial in the perfect tone for any musical situation, from smooth R&B to aggressive rock.
Jackson Hi-Mass Bridge: This high-mass bridge is engineered to maximize resonance and sustain. It provides a solid anchor for your strings, enhancing note attack and ensuring each note rings out with clarity and authority without coloring your core tone.
Designed for Professional Performance
The Gladys is crafted for comfort and speed, allowing you to navigate the fretboard effortlessly during long sessions. The thoughtful neck design and premium materials ensure a smooth, broken-in feel right out of the box, so your focus stays on the music.
Custom Neck Profile: Designed for comfort and speed, the unique neck shape fits naturally in your hand, reducing fatigue and allowing for faster, more fluid playing.
Compound Radius Maple Fingerboard: The 9"–16" compound radius fretboard is designed with players in mind. It features a rounded shape near the nut for comfortable chords, gradually flattening in the upper registers to allow smooth, choke-free bending and soloing.
Graphite-Reinforced Bolt-On Neck: This construction provides formidable sustain and rock-solid stability. The graphite reinforcement rods prevent the neck from warping, ensuring your setup remains consistent even when touring through different climates.
Style That's Built for the Stage
This bass doesn’t just sound incredible — it looks the part, too. Every detail was chosen to create a visually striking instrument that reflects Blackstone's sophisticated style, combining classic aesthetics with modern flair.
Vivid Blackstone Finish: The all-new Blackstone finish offers a deep, rich look that stands out under stage lights, complemented perfectly by the creme pickguard.
Mixed Black and Gold Hardware: The unique combination of black and gold hardware, including dome-style control knobs, provides a touch of luxury and visual contrast that is both timeless and modern.
Resonant Poplar Body: The poplar body provides a balanced, resonant tone with plenty of midrange punch, all while keeping the instrument comfortably lightweight for long gigs.
A Bass Built for Anything
The Jackson Pro Series Adam Blackstone "Gladys" Signature Concert Bass is the perfect tool for the musician who demands high-performance technology and head-turning style. It’s an instrument built to inspire, offering the playability, tonal versatility, and reliability needed for any stage or studio.

I like this one!
The Blackstone arrived on Thursday afternoon, right before choir rehearsal, so I was able to get real world feedback and make an evaluation.
It is well constructed , Lively ( must be that maple neck and fretboard) and responsive
It has good sustain, and the tone control layout is easy to figure out,...
