The sleek body of this Charvel bass harks back to the original San Dimas basses from the late 1970s. It features a deep cutaway, allowing bassists easy access to the upper registers. The Pro-Mod San Dimas® Bass PJ IV MAH is equipped with DiMarzio® pickups. The Model J™ at the bridge delivers a well - rounded punch, while the Model P® in the middle offers a warm, fat tone with a mid - range growl when pushed. Its versatile electronics include three - band active EQ, pickup blend control, and a master volume control with a push/pull selector. This selector is a great feature as a quick pull on the volume knob bypasses the EQ’s active circuit, so you won't lose sound even if the battery dies. This 4 - string bass comes in a Natural Mahogany and Satin Ferrari Red finish, with chrome hardware, cream pickup covers, and a licensed Fender® Precision Bass® headstock shape.

Using your Charvel Pro - Mod San Dimas PJ IV MAH bass is easy. First, plug it into your amplifier. You can adjust the sound using the three - band active EQ, pickup blend control, and master volume control. The push/pull selector on the volume knob gives you an option to bypass the active EQ circuit if the battery runs out. When playing, take advantage of the deep cutaway for easy access to the upper registers. As for maintenance, keep the bass in a cool, dry place. Wipe it down with a clean, dry cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. Check the strings regularly for wear and tear, and replace them when they start to sound dull. Tune your bass using the Charvel® Open - Gear tuning machines before each performance or practice session. Also, make sure to check the battery regularly if you're using the active EQ function.
