Squier Paranormal Precision Bass Thinline SJ Electric Bass

Semi-hollow bass with vintage-inspired single-coil voices and lightweight resonance

Overview

The Squier Paranormal Precision Bass Thinline SJ Electric Bass takes a classic Precision Bass-inspired platform and gives it a more open, resonant personality. Its semi-hollow thinline construction adds acoustic liveliness and helps reduce weight, making it comfortable for long sessions while still delivering strong electric bass authority. With an unconventional SJ pickup layout that pairs a Fender-Designed alnico ’51 P Bass single-coil with a Fender-Designed alnico Jazz Bass single-coil, this bass moves easily from warm vintage thump to sharper, more focused bite.

Features

The thinline body construction gives this Paranormal bass a different feel from a standard solid-body instrument. It responds with added resonance and a more airy character, while the familiar Precision Bass-style body shape keeps the instrument grounded in one of the most important bass designs ever made.

The SJ pickup configuration gives players a practical and distinctive range of tones. The ’51-style P Bass single-coil brings deep, round fundamental character, while the Jazz Bass-style bridge pickup adds definition, growl and tighter articulation. A 3-way blade switch keeps tone selection fast and simple, letting you move between warm neck sounds, blended textures and bridge-position focus.

The comfortable “C”-shaped maple neck, 9.5 inch radius laurel fretboard and narrow tall frets make the bass easy to play across the neck. A 34 inch scale length keeps the response familiar for traditional electric bass players, while the 4-saddle vintage-style bridge with barrel saddles and vintage-style tuning machines provide dependable tuning, intonation and classic feel.
