Charvel Pro-Mod San Dimas Bass PJ IV 4-String Bass Guitar (Metallic Black)
Product no: 9000-0087-9510 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

The Pro-Mod San Dimas bass guitar from Charvel doesn't just meet demanding bassists in the middle but extends full courtesy, offering a sweet mix of both modern and more traditional features for a best-of-both-worlds build. Thanks to the P-style and J-style pickups which have been combined with active electronics, the San Dimas provides access to a surprisingly large palette of sounds and features a caramelised maple neck finished with a compound radius fretboard that gets flatter as you navigate higher up the neck, supporting supple playability across the board. The neck has also been granted a dual-action truss rod and a graphite reinforced-design to counter instability as a result of temperature changes, while the Licensed Fender® Precision Bass® headstock and the vintage-style, string tree 'disc' set the familiar, ever-classic look of this bass in stone.
