Squier Paranormal Precision Bass Thinline SJ, Olive
Another incredibly cool, unique instrument from Squier's fantastic Paranormal line - this bass takes the iconic look of the early 1950's version of the legendary Precision Bass, and paired it with the airy sonic quality and visual appointments of Fender's late 1960's thinline Telecaster, AND adds the versatility of a Jazz bass pickup in the bridge position!
The Paranormal Precision Bass Thinline SJ reimagines the original Fender bass guitar as a resonant, semi-hollow tone machine loaded with an unconventional SJ pickup combination: a Fender-Designed alnico single-coil '51 P Bass pickup in the neck position paired with a Fender-Designed alnico single-coil Jazz Bass pickup at the bridge. Connected through a 3-way blade switch, this unique pairing delivers everything from the deep, thumping warmth of the original Precision Bass to the focused, growling bite of a Jazz Bass, and everywhere in between. The thinline semi-hollow body construction adds natural acoustic resonance and reduced weight for enhanced playability. Other player-friendly details include a comfortable "C"-shaped neck profile, a 4-saddle vintage-style bridge with slotted barrel saddles, a satin urethane neck finish, and vintage-style open-gear tuning machines for smooth, accurate tuning.
