The Charvel Pro-Mod San Dimas Bass PJ IV has a sleek alder body, directly inspired by the original 1970s Charvel San Dimas basses. Its deeper cutaway gives bassists easy access to the upper register. The super - thin bolt - on maple speed neck is crafted in the original style, with a beautiful caramelized look, graphite reinforcement, and a heel - mount truss rod wheel for simple adjustment. The 12” - 16” compound radius caramelized maple fingerboard flattens from nut to heel for smooth playing, with rolled edges, 20 jumbo frets, and Luminlay® side dots. This bass features DiMarzio® pickups. The Model J™ at the bridge offers well - rounded punch, while the Model P® in the middle provides a warm, 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 lets you bypass the EQ's active circuit in case of a dead battery.
