2021 Charvel Pro-Mod San Dimas Bass
- Thread starter P Cheen
- Start date
I like this bass guitar, which looks very unusual and modern. According to the components and technical characteristics, everything is also good. Up to this point, I was thinking about SIRE P7, but I fell in love with this one after I saw it.
Hello fellow bassplayers and bassplayerettes,
after I did a cover song with the brand new Charvel Pro-Mod San Dimas JJ V bass a few days ago, today I will give you a review of this most anticipated bass.
I will go through all EQ Setting with different styles and show you, why you should be really excited for this bass... ...and why some might be disappointed... I hope you like it!
Stay well and creative!

The weight really is good for a 5 string. It is well balanced due to the heavier high mass bridge and the lower weight of an roasted maple neck, but then again balanced out from the tuners. It really is a joy to play!
Hey! You are welcome!
I small detail I forgot to mention:
The Batterie compartment door is very wimsy, opening and closing I was very afraid breaking it off.
It's surely no deal breaker, but I wanted to mention that
If you have any further questions...just tell me
Greetings

San Dimas High School Football RULES!!!!
What a cool guitar, looks rich and modern, sounds great. Congratulations on your purchase. I myself think about the four-string version, choosing between two colors.
I already ordered the 4 string in Neon Green.
But it will come on mid to end April.
I think it'll sound just as great.
Did you like the five-string guitar so much that you decided to order a four-string guitar?
Have you ever owned / played Fender guitars? how does Charvel compare to them?
No...I ordered them both the same timeDid you like the five-string guitar so much that you decided to order a four-string guitar?

Because I knew, I would like them.
Yes, I own some Fender basses. How they are...it depends on the year. If you get a real vintage bass from decades ago...it could be pure gold. But the newly made american Fenders barely do the minimum to be not entirely bad compared. The pickups are mediocre, things like roasted maple are custom shop only, the PreAmps are average. And often the setup isn't that professional either.
There are some notable exceptions to this, which are really good basses, but on average brands like G&L, Charvel or even Sire steal the Thunder of Fender. Nowaday Fender are midclass basses for a high price.
Compared to the Charvel. The Charvel has the better bridge, the much better pickups, the better electronics and a better neck. Thus my expression "Fender on Steroids".
Thank you very much for your feedback and detailed description. Most likely in the near future I will make a pre-order of Charvel, it remains only to decide on its color.No...I ordered them both the same time

The Charvel Pro-Mod was definitely designed for the modern player while retaining characteristics of Fender, though specs and hardware aside their construction isn’t any better than Mexican-made Fenders. They’re probably built by the same hands that handle said MIM Fenders.
Just ordered the green one, should see it in three weeks. Now to find strings
