Squier Paranormal Precision Bass Thinline SJ Electric Bass

Semi-hollow Precision Bass design with unique single-coil pickup pairing and reduced weight

Overview

The Squier Paranormal Precision Bass Thinline SJ Electric Bass reimagines the original Precision Bass platform as a resonant semi-hollow instrument with a distinctive two-pickup voice. Its thinline construction adds natural acoustic resonance while helping reduce weight, making it a comfortable choice for long rehearsals, writing sessions and live sets. With a Fender-Designed alnico ’51 P Bass single-coil pickup paired with a Jazz Bass single-coil, this Paranormal model offers everything from deep, rounded thump to tighter bridge-position growl.

Features

The semi-hollow thinline body construction gives this bass a more open and resonant feel than a typical solid-body design. It keeps the familiar character of a Precision Bass-style shape while adding extra acoustic liveliness and a more comfortable playing experience for bassists who want something lighter and more responsive.

The SJ pickup configuration is what gives this bass its unique voice. The ’51-style P Bass single-coil delivers warm, fundamental low-end character, while the Jazz Bass-style single-coil brings more focus, bite and articulation. A 3-way blade switch lets you move between the pickups quickly, covering vintage-style thump, sharper bridge definition and a blended tone with added texture.

Player-friendly details make the bass easy to settle into. The “C”-shaped maple neck, satin-feeling design approach, 9.5 inch radius maple fretboard and narrow tall frets provide a comfortable modern feel, while the 4-saddle vintage-style bridge with slotted barrel saddles supports solid intonation and classic bass response. Vintage-style open-gear tuning machines complete the instrument with smooth, reliable tuning control.
