Squier Paranormal Precision Bass Thinline SJ Olive

Squier Paranormal Precision Bass Thinline SJ for Versatile Bass Sounds!

The Squier Paranormal Precision Bass Thinline SJ marries the classic concept of the early Precision bass with a resonant semi-hollow construction and an unusually flexible SJ pickup configuration. That gives you an electric bass that combines familiar vintage feel, reduced weight and a wide tonal palette in a distinctive instrument.

Semi-Hollow Body With Thinline Character

The thinline design gives the bass a lively acoustic response while delivering a comfortable playing feel for long sessions, rehearsals and gigs. The Nyatoh body provides a solid foundation with balanced resonance, while the semi-hollow construction adds extra airiness and natural ringing. The result is a direct, open and effortless-feeling bass that still retains the punchy character of an electric Precision bass.

SJ Pickup Setup for Punch, Warmth and Definition

The pickup pairing combines a Fender Designed Alnico '51 P Bass single-coil in the neck position with a Fender Designed Alnico Jazz Bass single-coil at the bridge. This SS configuration is selected via a 3-way switch and unlocks three clearly distinct tonal zones: warm and rounded at the neck, focused and growling at the bridge, and balanced and transparent in the middle position. That covers classic bass lines, precise grooves, articulate fingerstyle playing and defined pick tones with ease.

Comfortable Neck for a Familiar Playing Feel

The maple neck with a C profile sits comfortably in the hand and supports a natural fretting posture. The fretboard of Indian laurel offers a 9.5" radius, narrow-tall frets and pearloid dot inlays, making the bass equally suited to clean accompaniment and more agile runs. The 34" (864 mm) long scale provides tight string tension, clear response and a familiar bass feel across the entire fingerboard.

Vintage Hardware With Practical Functionality

The 4-saddle vintage-style bridge with barrel saddles supports stable string alignment and underlines the instrument's classic character. Vintage-style open-gear tuners deliver precise tuning and an authentic look. Master Volume and Master Tone keep the controls intentionally straightforward so you can dial your sound quickly to suit the song, the band mix or your technique. Together with the semi-hollow construction, this creates an inspiring electric bass for players who want classic Fender DNA with a distinctive, modern twist.
