A Classic Bass with Hot-rodded Upgrades

Though it's clearly inspired by Charvel's classic 1970s bass designs, the Pro-Mod San Dimas Bass PJ IV is a thoroughly contemporary instrument with plenty of hot-rodded upgrades. If you're a vintage electric bass aficionado, picking up the PJ IV will feel instantly familiar. That said, its modern refinements — a caramelized maple neck, Charvel HiMass bridge, and active 3-band EQ — let this instrument explore exciting new sonic frontiers. This combination of old-school aesthetics and contemporary appointments is also represented in the Pro-Mod San Dimas Bass PJ IV's DiMarzio P+J pickup set, which merges warm, vintage tones with pristine, hum-free operation. No matter the application, the Pro-Mod San Dimas Bass PJ IV makes for a worthy onstage and studio session companion.

Familiar look with modern flair

The Pro-Mod San Dimas Bass PJ IV inherits its sleek body shape from Charvel's 1970s San Dimas basses. With its classic contours, the Pro-Mod San Dimas Bass PJ IV has a familiar feel, but with a deep cutaway for accessing the upper register. A rear-control cavity rout design and the absence of a scratchplate put the alder body's gorgeous satin finish on full display and highlights the sleek black pickup covers and glistening chrome hardware, including the rock-solid Charvel HiMass bridge.

Sweet-sounding DiMarzio pickups and active electronics

Underneath the Charvel Pro-Mod San Dimas Bass PJ IV's handsome black pickup covers rests a DiMarzio P+J pickup set. Utilizing a hum-canceling design, this powerful duo delivers a warm, vintage tone with exceptional clarity. The Model P gives you gutsy midrange for inducing growl whenever you lay into your bass hard. While the Model J delivers a sensitive response and broad tonal range, from tight and punchy to round and woody. Add in the PJ IV's active electronics with 3-band EQ, and you have limitless sound sculpting potential at your fingertips.

Immensely playable Charvel Speed neck

Charvel's Speed neck profile is a favorite of bass players here at Sweetwater for its comfortable feel and silky-smooth playability. The Pro-Mod San Dimas Bass PJ IV takes the Speed neck formula to the next level by pairing it with caramelized maple for enhanced stability and an upscale look. On top of that, a 12-inch to 16-inch compound radius opens the fingerboard to upper-scale acrobatics, making it hard to resist slipping a ripping bass solo into every song! A hand-rubbed satin urethane finish completes the package, eliminating sticky-neck syndrome.
