Jackson expands its Pro Plus Pure Metal range – and it even introduces first Pure Metal Bass
Back in January, Jackson unveiled a metallic twist on its Pro Plus Series. Drenched in glossy black, the Limited Edition Pro Plus Pure Metal range was designed with gritty metal in mind – now, it’s time for things to get even heavier. Phase two of the Pure Metal agenda introduces two new guitars and a killer bass.
All three models boast the Pure Metal range’s signature blacker-than-night gloss, while each comes in its own distinctive body shape. The Pure Metal Warrior WR1A comes in a shape similar to the Jackson Kelly Star, while the Pure Metal King V KV1A is a timeless V.

On the bass side of things, the Pure Metal Concert Bass CB1A is the very first bass in the series so far. It opts for the classic Jackson Concert bass shape – if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, ey?
Beyond the aesthetics, the Pro Plus Limited Edition Pure Metal Warrior WR1A and Pure Metal King V KV1A boast exactly the same bells and whistles. The pair feature 24 jumbo stainless steel frets, Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo and a Fishman Fluence Modern bridge pickup. The pair cost £1,399.

The Pro Plus Limited Edition Pure Metal Concert Bass CB1A has all it needs to deliver a hard-hitting, full-bodied bass performance. It boasts a Fishman Fluence Modern bass humbucker to meet all your low-end needs, with a Jackson Hi-Mass hardtail bridge to anchor tone to slicken up your intonation and sustain. The bass costs a little less than the guitars, going for £1,349

Its a range metal guitarists are sure to relish – and don’t just take our word for it. Metalcore unit Heriot have given the fresh Pure Metal range their seal of approval, with guitarists Erhan Alman and Debbie Gough, and bassist Jake Packer, all giving them a spin in Jackson’s announcement video.

Right now, only the Pure Metal Warrior WR1A remains available, with the Pure Metal King KV1A and Pure Metal Concert Bass CB1A already sold out.
The trio of guitars joins the Pro Plus Pure Metal Limited Edition Rhoads RR1A, Soloist SL1A and Kelly KE1A guitars. Jackson explains that the series is “built for speed and engineered for domination”, perfect for any shredders out there hoping to capture “bone-crushing tones”.
