Overview
For the seasoned player who defies the status quo and demands more from a high-performance hot rod bass, the brand-new Charvel Pro-Mod San Dimas Bass PJ IV does it all by combining modern appointments with throwback Charvel DNA.
The sleek alder body shape is a familiar one-straight from the original Charvel San Dimas basses of late 1970s, with the deeper cutaway that gave adventurous bassists effortless upper-register access.
The super-thin bolt-on maple Charvel speed neck is crafted in the original style, with a gorgeous caramelized treatment, graphite reinforcement and heel-mount truss rod wheel for easy adjustment.
The 12"-16" compound radius caramelized maple fingerboard gradually flattens from nut to heel for fast, smooth playing, and has rolled edges, 20 jumbo frets and Luminlay side dots.
And 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.
This 4-string bass is presented in electrifying Lime Green Metallic and Mystic Blue finishes with chrome hardware, cream pickup covers and licensed Fender Precision Bass headstock shape.

"These pickups are hot!!!!"

You can dial in so many tones with this bass. this is my first day with it. i love the EQ, and push/pull active/passive knob, very cool!! just a heads up, these pickups dont necessarily sound like a regular P bass but a Pbass that is less clanky, while sounding great and coupled with the EQ you can get a huge fat sound! with the treb/mid/bass EQ you can dial in all types, but i believe this bass was designed for rock/hard rock players. neck feels great, the roasted/carmelized maple looks sweet! one of the knobs fell off when i pulled the bass outta the box, im guessing due to being in a hurry to bring these out, overlooked, i put it on with my own allen wrench, the ones included didnt work for the EQ knobs. also the battery box cover broke the first time i opened to make sure the battery was ready to go, cheap area, just be careful there. super excited to record with this bass, so far everything is great except the batt box cover. But the pickups!!!! WOW! Solid, huge, and super clean (although you can get a gritty, driving tone as well.) This bass is made in Mexico, but along with some similarities, this seems better than Fender Mexican basses, imho (preference of course...)
