Paranormal Precision Bass Thinline SJ – Resonant Semi‑Hollow Performance

Paranormal Precision Bass Thinline SJ reimagines the iconic Precision bass as a resonant, semi‑hollow instrument that sings with depth and clarity. Built for players who crave vintage tone without the weight, the olive‑finished model offers a surprising blend of acoustic warmth and electric punch. The Paranormal Precision Bass Thinline SJ is the right choice for bassists seeking a versatile voice that adapts from studio tracking to stage grooves.

Standout Features

What truly sets this bass apart is its thinline semi‑hollow construction, which adds natural acoustic resonance while slashing overall mass. Coupled with the rare SJ configuration – a ‘51 Precision single‑coil neck pickup paired with a Jazz‑style bridge pickup – the instrument delivers a tonal spectrum from warm thump to bright articulation, all managed through a smooth three‑way blade switch.

The body’s semi‑hollow design not only reduces weight but also enhances sustain, making every note ring with clarity.

• The body uses Nyatoh, a lightweight wood that supports resonant tones.
• Finish: Gloss Polyurethane — durable shine that protects the olive hue.
• Scale Length: 864 mm — standard 34" length for familiar string tension.

Neck & Fingerboard – Comfortable Playability

• Neck Shape: "C" Shape — ergonomic feel across the fretboard.
• Fingerboard Material: Indian Laurel — smooth surface for fluid note bends.
