San Dimas Body Shape With Deep Cutaway for Upper Fret Access

The contoured San Dimas bass body is a throwback to the late 1970s Charvel catalog, granting you vintage appeal with contemporary playability. Its deep cutaway allows your hand to freely roam the entire fingerboard, making even the highest notes easily accessible. The slim, contoured edges sit comfortably against your body when playing while providing a lightweight feel. Despite its vintage look, the PM BASS SD PJ IV MAH plays every bit like a modern instrument.

Caramelized Maple Neck and Compound Radius Fingerboard

Optimized for speed, the caramelized maple neck has a 12"-16" compound radius fingerboard that flattens out as you move up the neck. Near the nut, it has a tighter curve that aids intricate chording and complex voicings. Further up the neck, the flatter radius gives you more room for wide interval stretches and soloing. The smooth finish glides easily in your hand, while medium jumbo frets provide a pleasing tactile sensation under your fingers. Overall, the neck and fingerboard work together for maximum playing comfort.

DiMarzio Pickups and Active Tone Controls

For flexible tone shaping, the PM BASS SD PJ IV MAH utilizes a hybrid pickup configuration. The DiMarzio Model J bridge pickup delivers punchy lows and articulate mids, while the Model P middle pickup warms up the sound with enhanced low-end girth. Active 3-band EQ lets you tweak the bass, mid and treble frequencies and the pickup blender balances the two pickups to your liking. Just pull up on the volume knob to bypass the battery and get traditional passive tone from the pickups alone. Whether you want modern active bite or old-school passive character, this bass has you covered.

Iconic Styling Matches Versatile Sound

From the sleek body shape to the licensed Fender Precision Bass headstock, the PM BASS SD PJ IV MAH bass has the looks to match its versatility. The chrome hardware and cream pickup covers provide an attractive vintage vibe on stage. And with the punchy Model J bridge pickup and fat, mid-growling Model P middle pickup, you've got exceptional tone-shaping control at your fingertips.
