The Charvel Pro-Mod San Dimas Bass PJ IV MAH has a sleek body shape straight from the late 1970s original Charvel San Dimas basses. Its deeper cutaway gives bassists easy access to the upper registers. Like the originals, it features DiMarzio® pickups. The Model J™ at the bridge offers a well - rounded punch, while the Model P® in the middle delivers a warm, fat tone with a mid - range growl. The versatile electronics include three - band active EQ, pickup blend control, and a master volume control with a push/pull selector. A quick pull on the volume knob bypasses the EQ’s active circuit, preventing sound loss from a dead battery. This 4 - string bass comes in Natural Mahogany and Satin Ferrari Red finishes, with chrome hardware, cream pickup covers, and a licensed Fender® Precision Bass® headstock shape. Specifications include a San Dimas® Bass body shape, mahogany body material, satin finish, speed neck with rolled fingerboard edges, caramelized maple fretboard, 12' - 16' compound radius fretboard, 34' scale length, 20 jumbo frets, cream dot fretboard inlays, DiMarzio® pickups, Charvel® HiMass™ bridge, nickel - plated steel strings, Charvel® open - gear tuning machines, and gold hardware finish.
Using your Charvel Pro - Mod San Dimas Bass PJ IV MAH is a breeze. To start, adjust the master volume control to your preferred level. You can blend the pickups using the pickup blend control to get the sound you want. If you want to tweak the tone, use the three - band active EQ. In case the battery dies, just pull the volume knob to bypass the active circuit and keep playing. When it comes to maintenance, keep the bass clean by wiping it with a soft cloth after each use. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures and humidity as this can damage the wood and hardware. Check the strings regularly and replace them when they start to sound dull or show signs of wear. Also, make sure the tuning machines are tightened properly to keep the bass in tune. And don't forget to keep the battery fresh if you're using the active EQ feature.
