PRO-MOD SAN DIMAS® 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 Charvel® Pro-Mod San Dimas® Bass PJ V 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® 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 Pro-Mod San Dimas® Bass PJ V blends the powerhouse voice of DiMarzio (just like our original Charvel® bass guitars) with an all-new Charvel® 5-string split-coil P pickup. This 5-string, 34”-scale bass is presented in Metallic Black or Platinum Pearl finishes with chrome hardware, black pickup covers and licensed Fender® Precision Bass® headstock shape.

PRO-MOD SAN DIMAS® BASS PJ IV

The Charvel® Pro-Mod San Dimas® Bass PJ IV nods to the classic Charvel® legacy while looking towards the future with innovative additions. Its alder body nods to the original Charvel® San Dimas basses of the late 1970s, and its super thin bolt-on maple Charvel® speed neck is modeled after the original form. 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. This 4-string bass is presented in Metallic Black or Platinum Pearl finishes with chrome hardware, black pickup covers and licensed Fender® Precision Bass® headstock shape.
