Charvel Pro-Mod San Dimas Bass

The Pro-Mod San Dimas Bass is a great value if you find it below MSRP. The fret edges may need some polishing and the pre-amp gain was set to max which are easy fixes. There are some reported noise issues but that wasn't my experience. The finish looks great and the neck is smooth. I'd definitely recommend this bass.

About Charvel Pro-Mod

What sets the Charvel Pro-Mod San Dimas Bass PJ IV apart is its seamless blend of classic aesthetics and modern playability, making it a top choice for discerning bassists. This electric bass guitar, with its stylish Mystic Blue finish, is not only a visual standout but also a testament to Charvel's reliable craftsmanship and innovative design.

Crafted with a sleek alder body reminiscent of the original Charvel San Dimas basses from the late 1970s, this instrument features a deeper cutaway for effortless access to the upper registers, catering to the adventurous player. The durable, super-thin bolt-on maple Charvel speed neck echoes the original style, enhanced with a luxurious caramelized treatment for a smooth, refined feel. Reinforced with graphite for stability and equipped with a heel-mount truss rod wheel, the neck ensures easy adjustability and lasting performance.

The fingerboard, also caramelized maple, boasts a compound radius that transitions from 12" at the nut to 16" at the heel, facilitating fast and smooth playability. The edges are rolled for comfort, and the 20 jumbo frets are complemented by Luminlay side dots for visibility on dark stages.

In terms of sound, the Pro-Mod San Dimas Bass PJ IV is equipped with high-quality DiMarzio pickups-a Model J at the bridge for a well-rounded punch and a Model P in the middle for a warm, fat tone with a distinctive mid-range growl when pushed. The versatile electronics package includes a master volume, pickup blend, and an active three-band EQ, allowing for precise tonal shaping.

The high-performance Charvel HiMass bridge, Graph Tech TUSQ XL nut, and open-gear tuners work in harmony to deliver stellar tuning stability, enhanced note punch, and sustain. The chrome hardware, cream pickup covers, and the licensed Fender Precision Bass headstock shape round out the guitar's high-quality features.

This 4-string bass, presented in the electrifying Mystic Blue finish, is a durable and reliable choice for players who demand a high-performance instrument that upholds the Charvel legacy while pushing the boundaries of modern bass guitar design.
