Description
The Paranormal Jazz Bass® ’54 turns fiction into reality, combining the playability and tonal versatility of the J Bass® with the classic look of its predecessor, the Precision Bass® (around 1954, the P Bass® changed from a slab body to a streamlined body). This bass is easy to play thanks to its C-shaped neck profile and 1.5″ nut width. Its two Fender-designed, single-coil alnico pickups give it an extraordinary sound. Other refinements include a vintage-style bridge and CLÉSage, two concentric volume and tone controls, and a sprawling ’50s-style pickguard that transports the Jazz Bass back in time.
