The Paranormal Precision Bass Thinline SJ reimagines the original Fender bass guitar as a resonant, semi-hollow tone machine loaded with an unconventional SJ pickup combination: a Fender-Designed alnico single-coil '51 P Bass pickup in the neck position paired with a Fender-Designed alnico single-coil Jazz Bass pickup at the bridge. Connected through a 3-way blade switch, this unique pairing delivers everything from the deep, thumping warmth of the original Precision Bass to the focused, growling bite of a Jazz Bass, and everywhere in between.
The thinline semi-hollow body construction adds natural acoustic resonance and reduced weight for enhanced playability. Other player-friendly details include a comfortable "C"-shaped neck profile, a 4-saddle vintage-style bridge with slotted barrel saddles, a satin urethane neck finish, and vintage-style open-gear tuning machines for smooth, accurate tuning.
Semi-Hollow Thinline Construction
Lightweight and resonant, the semi-hollow thinline construction adds a warm, airy depth to the low end while keeping the bass comfortable and balanced for long playing sessions, striking the perfect blend between acoustic warmth and electric punch.
SJ Pickup Configuration: '51 P Bass Single-Coil and Jazz Bass Single-Coil
Two iconic Fender voices in one, the SJ pickup configuration pairs the punchy, midrange growl of a '51 P Bass single-coil with the smooth, articulate clarity of a Jazz Bass single-coil, giving players a versatile tonal palette that covers everything from vintage thump to modern definition.
3-Way Blade Pickup Switching
The 3-way blade pickup switch gives players instant access to the '51 P Bass single-coil, the Jazz Bass single-coil, or both in combination, delivering three distinct tonal voices to suit any playing style or musical setting.
'51 Precision Bass Body Shape
Drawn straight from the original 1951 Precision Bass design, this classic body shape carries the timeless silhouette that started it all, offering a comfortable, familiar feel that connects players to the very roots of the electric bass.
4-Saddle Vintage-Style Bridge with Slotted Barrel Saddles
True to the original design, the 4-saddle vintage-style bridge with slotted barrel saddles delivers the classic look and feel of early Fender basses while providing reliable intonation and stable string alignment for a playing experience rooted in authentic vintage character.
