High-performance body and finish
The Charvel Pro-Mod Bass SD PJ IV MAH stands out with its sleek San Dimas® body shape, inspired by Charvel’s original late '70s design. Crafted from genuine mahogany and finished in a bold Satin Ferrari Red, it delivers a striking visual presence on any stage. The deep cutaway not only adds a distinct aesthetic but also provides easy access to upper frets, giving you full command of the entire fingerboard. Standing or seated, the contoured body feels balanced and comfortable, making it ideal for long sessions. Paired with chrome hardware and cream pickup covers, this bass fuses vintage styling with modern aggression.
Speed neck with premium feel
Built for fluid playability, the caramelised maple speed neck features a hand-rubbed satin urethane finish and graphite reinforcement, ensuring smooth movement and long-term stability. The 12"-16" compound radius fingerboard starts curved at the nut and gradually flattens out towards the heel, giving you effortless control across the full range. Jumbo frets and rolled fingerboard edges enhance comfort and responsiveness, while Luminlay® side dots make navigating the fretboard easier under dim lighting. This neck is engineered for those who value feel, precision, and reliability night after night.
Versatile DiMarzio pickup configuration
At the heart of the Pro-Mod SD PJ IV MAH is a powerful DiMarzio pickup pairing. The Model P® middle pickup provides a warm, rounded tone with enough midrange bite to cut through a mix, while the Model J™ bridge pickup delivers added articulation and punch. Together, they offer a huge tonal palette, from rich low-end thump to snappy high-end clarity. Lock in a groove or take the lead with melodic runs—this PJ setup ensures your tone stays expressive and balanced throughout.
Flexible electronics and robust hardware
This bass features an active three-band EQ system for shaping lows, mids, and highs with precision. A push/pull master volume control lets you instantly switch to passive mode, so you’re never caught out by a flat battery—ideal for gigging bassists. The Charvel HiMass™ bridge enhances sustain and overall tone, while the Graph Tech® TUSQ® XL nut and open-gear tuners keep tuning stable under pressure. Every component is selected to deliver performance you can depend on, making this a rock-solid companion.
