"For the seasoned player who defies the status quo and demands more from a high-performance hot rod bass, the brand-new Charvel  Pro-Mod San Dimas  Bass PJ IV does it all by combining modern appointments with throwback Charvel DNA.

The sleek alder body shape is a familiar one—straight from the original Charvel San Dimas basses of late 1970s, with the deeper cutaway that gave adventurous bassists effortless upper-register access.

The super-thin bolt-on maple Charvel speed neck is crafted in the original style, with a gorgeous caramelized treatment, graphite reinforcement and heel-mount truss rod wheel for easy adjustment. The 12”-16” compound radius caramelized maple fingerboard gradually flattens from nut to heel for fast, smooth playing, and has rolled edges, 20 jumbo frets and Luminlay  side dots.

And like the originals, the Pro-Mod San Dimas  Bass PJ V features the powerhouse voice of DiMarzio  pickups—a Model J  at the bridge for well-rounded punch and a Model P  in the middle for warm and fat tone with a mid-range growl when pushed. Versatile electronics include three-band active EQ, pickup blend control and a master volume control with push/pull selector. The push/pull selector eliminates the risk of losing sound due to a dead battery as a quick pull on the volume knob bypasses the EQ's active circuit and regains sound from the bass without the use of 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 Metallic Black or Platinum Pearl finishes with chrome hardware, black pickup covers and licensed Fender  Precision Bass  headstock shape.
