The Pro-Mod San Dimas Bass PJ IV from Charvel is designed for the seasoned player who demands more from their high-performance bass. Combining modern appointments with throwback Charvel DNA, this 4-string bass features a sleek alder body inspired by the original Charvel San Dimas basses of the late 1970s, a super-thin bolt-on speed neck with graphite reinforcement and a maple fingerboard with rolled edges for comfortable playing, even at faster tempos. Also like the originals, the Pro-Mod San Dimas Bass PJ IV 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 master volume, pickup blend and active three-band active EQ, while a Charvel HiMass bridge, Graph Tech TUSQ XL nut and open-gear tuners combine for stellar tuning stability with improved note punch and sustain.
