Fender Introduces the Squier Paranormal Series Rascal Bass HH

Equipped with punchy dual Fender-Designed Wide Range humbucking bass pickups (HH) with 3-way switching, here is a player's ultimate option for tone variety

The Paranormal Rascal Bass HH rewrites the playbook of electric bass design with a greatest-hits-list of features from several eccentric 1960s-era Fender® bass models. Combining the offset body shape of the Fender Bass VI model, the unique headstock shape from the Fender Coronado Bass, the string-through-body bridge from the Mustang® Bass, and punchy dual Fender-Designed Wide Range humbucking bass pickups (HH) with 3-way switching, this model amounts to something truly greater than the sum of its parts. Other player-friendly details of this model include a short and easy-to-play 30″ scale length, a slim and comfortable “C”-shape neck profile, and a gloss neck finish for a slick yet confident feel.

Features:

  • Fender-Designed Wide Range humbucking bass pickups
  • Bass VI body shape, Coronado Bass headstock shape
  • String-through-body Mustang Bass bridge
  • Matching headstock
  • Short 30″ scale length

This innovative model features design elements from classic 1960s-era Fender basses including a Bass VI body and Coronado Bass headstock shape. Inspired by vintage Mustang Bass models, this string-through-body bridge improves resonance through the body for optimal tone and performance. This model features dual Fender-Designed alnico Wide Range humbucking bass pickups for massive, punchy tone with vintage color and nuance.

A 30″ scale length (the distance from bridge to nut) creates reduced string tension and easy playability for players of all sizes. Sporting classic looks, these vintage-style tuning machines provide rock-solid tuning stability and smooth action. With a comfortable, slick feel and elegant appearance, a gloss neck finish is a classic Fender feature.
