PRO-MOD SAN DIMASยฎ BASS PJ V

For the seasoned player who defies the status quo and demands more from a high-performance hot rod bass, the brand-new Charvelยฎ Pro-Mod San Dimasยฎ Bass PJ V does it all by combining modern appointments with throwback Charvelยฎ DNA. The sleek alder body shape is a familiar oneโ€”straight from the original Charvelยฎ basses of late 1970s, with the deeper cutaway that gave adventurous bassists effortless upper-register access. The super-thin bolt-on maple Charvelยฎ 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 Pro-Mod San Dimasยฎ Bass PJ V blends the powerhouse voice of DiMarzio (just like our original Charvelยฎ bass guitars) with an all-new Charvelยฎ 5-string split-coil P pickup. This 5-string, 34โ€-scale bass is presented in Metallic Black or Platinum Pearl finishes with chrome hardware, black pickup covers and licensed Fenderยฎ Precision Bassยฎ headstock shape.
