The sleek alder body of this Charvel bass takes inspiration from the original San Dimas basses of the late 1970s. Its deep cutaway design allows bassists to easily reach the upper registers. The super - thin bolt - on maple speed neck is crafted in the classic style. It has a beautiful caramelized finish, graphite reinforcement, and a heel - mount truss rod wheel for easy adjustment. The 12” - 16” compound radius caramelized maple fingerboard flattens gradually from the nut to the heel, offering a fast and smooth playing experience. It features rolled edges, 20 jumbo frets, and Luminlay® side dots. The Pro - Mod San Dimas® Bass PJ IV is equipped with DiMarzio® pickups. A Model J™ at the bridge provides well - rounded punch, while a Model P® in the middle delivers a warm and fat tone with a mid - range growl when pushed. The versatile electronics include three - band active EQ, pickup blend control, and a master volume control with a push/pull selector. The push/pull selector can bypass the EQ's active circuit, so you won't lose sound even if the battery dies.
