Review Summary

Nice bass! Nice fit and finish. Amazing sound. The active eq paired with the Dimarzio pickups make for a wide very usable tonal pallet. I'm still dicovering all this bass can do and so far it's all top notch. I read a bunch of comments from other buyers on various sites complaining about this bass being noisy. It's just flat out not true. You would have to put this bass right in front of the speaker on you amp to get any noise out of this bass. It's dead quiet. The bass was almost playable right out of the box. 1/4 turn tighter on the trussrod and a 1/4 turn down on the saddles and the bass plays like butter. No string buzz, no dead spots. All in all at this price point this bass is a winner. Highly recommended.

Since I was bit by the bug and wanted a bass guitar, my dream bass bass a Fender style PJ bass, but when I was 14 my dad bought me a Fender Precision Bass which I love and never looked back, until I was old enough to ay and buy my own stuff. At that time there no PJ quality options, besides Spectors or Deluxe American Fenders with PJ configurations, until Charvel released this bass. It is exactly what I hoped for. Due to weather it arrived with fret sprout, but I was able to file down the excess fret ends and once the wood aclimated fully, it feels and sounds great.

What sets the Pro-Mod San Dimas Bass PJ IV Bass Guitar apart is its meticulous blend of classic design and contemporary features, making it an ideal choice for bassists seeking both style and substance. The metallic black finish of this bass guitar exudes a stylish and modern aesthetic, perfect for players who value a sleek look on stage.
Crafted with a resilient alder body, this bass guitar echoes the iconic Charvel San Dimas models of the late 1970s, updated with a deeper cutaway for unimpeded access to the upper frets. The bolt-on maple neck, reminiscent of the original Charvel speed necks, is engineered for speed and precision. It boasts a luxurious caramelized treatment, graphite reinforcement for stability, and a heel-mount truss rod wheel for effortless neck adjustments.
The fingerboard, also caramelized maple, features a compound radius that transitions from 12" at the nut to 16" at the heel, ensuring smooth and rapid playability across all 20 jumbo frets. Rolled edges and Luminlay side dots enhance the playing experience, providing comfort and visibility in low-light conditions.
The Pro-Mod San Dimas Bass PJ IV is powered by high-quality DiMarzio pickups, with a Model J at the bridge delivering a well-rounded punch and a Model P in the middle offering a warm, fat tone with a distinctive mid-range growl when amplified. The versatile electronics system includes a three-band active EQ, pickup blend control, and a master volume control with a push/pull selector. This innovative feature allows for uninterrupted performance even in the event of a dead battery, by bypassing the active circuit with a simple pull on the volume knob.
Additional professional-grade hardware includes a Charvel HiMass bridge for enhanced sustain and note punch, a Graph Tech TUSQ XL nut for superior tuning stability, and open-gear tuners. This right-handed 4-string bass guitar is not only reliable and durable but also delivers innovative sound customization options to suit any playing style.
The Pro-Mod San Dimas Bass PJ IV Bass Guitar is a testament to Charvel's commitment to high-quality craftsmanship and innovative design, making it a standout choice for serious bassists.
