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.
