Fender Paranormal Jazz ’54 Bass Guitar Overview:

TRAVEL THROUGH TIME
The Paranormal Jazz Bass 54 turns fiction into reality, combining the easy playability and tonal versatility of the J Bass with the classic looks of its older sibling, the Precision Bass (around 1954, the P Bass transitioned from a slab body to a contoured body). This bass is easy to play thanks to its C-shaped neck profile and narrow 1.5 nut width and offers out-of-this-world tone courtesy of its dual Fender-Designed alnico single-coil pickups. Further refinements include a vintage-style bridge and tuning machines, dual concentric volume and tone controls, and a sprawling 50s-style pickguard that transports the Jazz Bass back in time.
