This bass's sleek and familiar body shape is a nod to the original Charvel San Dimas basses of the late 1970s. The deeper cutaway allows for easy access to the upper register, perfect for adventurous bass players.

 

The Charvel Pro-Mod San Dimas® Bass PJ IV MAH features a slim yet sturdy bolt-on maple speed neck. This neck is designed in the traditional style, with a stunning caramelized finish and enhancements such as graphite reinforcement and a heel-mount truss rod wheel for effortless customization. The caramelized maple fingerboard has a compound radius of 12”-16”, which gradually flattens from the nut to the heel. This allows for lightning-fast and seamless playing, complemented by rolled edges, 20 jumbo frets, and Luminlay® side dots for easy navigation.

Designed with the same powerful sound as the originals, the Charvel Pro-Mod San Dimas® Bass PJ IV MAH is equipped with DiMarzio® pickups - a Model J™ at the bridge for bold punch and a Model P® in the middle for a warm, thick tone and a growling mid-range when pushed. The versatile electronics feature a three-band active EQ, pickup blend control, and a master volume control with a push/pull selector. This selector eliminates the risk of losing sound with a dead battery, as a simple pull on the volume knob bypasses the active circuit and restores sound to the bass without the need for battery power.

A Charvel HiMass™ bridge, Graph Tech® TUSQ® XL nut and open-gear tuners combine for stellar tuning stability with improved note punch and sustain.

This 4-string bass is presented in a Natural Mahogany and Satin Ferrari Red finish with chrome hardware, cream pickup covers and licensed Fender® Precision Bass® headstock shape.
