General
If you're hopelessly in love with Precision bass styling, but can't do without that flexible Jazz bass tone, then Squier present the bass of your dreams: the Paranormal Jazz Bass 54. This adventure in a 4-stringed package comes loaded with the electronics of the J-bass introduced in 1960, framed by the classic body shaping of the P-bass from 1954. This super dold-school DNA isn't just reflected in the cut-down pickguard, but the vintage-style hardware and the fully tried-and-tested feel of the neck. And while it looks like Squier have miscounted and only provided two pots to play with, you actually have a pair of stacked, concentric pots, each of which offer volume and tone controls per pickup. The mounted Fender Designed Alnico single-coils, meanwhile, shape that rich and familiar Jazz tone.
