Squier Paranormal Precision Bass Thinline SJ Maple Vintage White

The Squier Paranormal Precision Bass Thinline SJ in Vintage White takes the foundational design of the original Fender bass and reimagines it as a lightweight, resonant semi-hollow instrument with an unconventional pickup configuration and unmistakable vintage style. Its thinline Nyatoh body retains the classic '51 Precision Bass silhouette while adding semi-hollow construction for enhanced acoustic resonance and reduced weight. The result is a bass that feels lively in the hands and offers a distinctive response compared with a traditional solidbody Precision Bass. The standout feature is its unique SJ pickup configuration. A Fender-Designed Alnico single-coil pickup delivers the deep, thumping character associated with early Precision Bass designs, while the Jazz Bass-style bridge position brings focused attack and growling definition. A 3-way blade selector makes it easy to move between the two voices or combine them, providing a broad palette that ranges from warm vintage bass tones to articulate, cutting sounds that sit confidently in a mix. A maple neck with a comfortable "C" profile and 34" scale provides familiar long-scale playability. The maple fingerboard features a versatile 9.5" radius, 20 narrow-tall frets, and contrasting black dot inlays, while a 1.685" Micarta nut maintains the substantial feel associated with early Precision Bass necks. Vintage-inspired hardware completes the package, including a 4-saddle bridge with barrel saddles, vintage-style tuning machines, skirted amp knobs, and chrome hardware. Finished in Vintage White with a 3-ply Parchment pickguard and maple fingerboard, the Paranormal Precision Bass Thinline SJ is a distinctive combination of early Fender aesthetics, semi-hollow resonance, and expanded tonal versatility.
