Squier Paranormal Jazz Bass® '54, Maple Fingerboard, Gold Anodized Pickguard, Black
You Should See The Other Guy!
Not far from where the iconic first Fender Jazz electric basses were made in Fullerton, CA, this beautiful Squier Jazz Bass was dinged in a genuine California Seismic Event! While this sturdy instrument steadfastly remained affixed to the wall, the one above it did not, and consequently it incurred a minor cosmetic ding on the back by the neck (pictured). Never owned and still covered under Fender Warranty! You could pay more for a bass with less character, but why would you?
Squier Paranormal Jazz Bass '54
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.
