Fender American Deluxe Dimension Bass IV, Natural

Full Description

The Dimension bass's oil-rubbed Maple neck has an asymmetrical "C" profile, which is thicker on the bass side than the treble. This gives the instrument a supremely fast, comfortable feel, sure to satisfy most any player. The brightness of the Maple neck and fingerboard is complimented by the solid Ash body, producing a vibrant, colourful sound with strong attack and excellent sustain.

Five Way Pickup Switching

The bass features two bold Dimension humbucking pickups with an innovative 5-way pickup selector, offering a wide range of tones. In position 1, both bridge pickup coils are engaged. The next position engages the inner coils from each pickup. In position 3, all four coils are active across both pickups for maximum output. The fourth position engages only the outer coils from both pickups, and the final position engages just the neck pickup coils.

3 Band Active EQ

The bass is also equipped with a 3-band active EQ, with centre-detented Treble, Middle and Bass boost/cut controls. When combined with the versatile pickup switching options, the EQ allows you to sculpt your sound to suit your needs, providing everything from warm vintage tones to more aggressive modern sounds.
