Signature Bass of the Anthrax bassist
The Charvel Frank Bello Signature Pro-Mod So-Cal PJ IV MN Gloss Black is the signature bass of the Anthrax woofer and convinces not only with brute sounds and excellent playing characteristics for crisp thrash riffs but also with an elegant style. While a mirrored Mirror Pickguard accentuates the deep black high-gloss finish, the classically styled poplar body and the screwed maple "speed neck" promise first-class handling. On the bass amp, the EMG Frank Bello Signature PJ set also makes a splash and delivers rumbling, yet perfectly defined Bass sounds. Indestructible Hardware in the form of a HiMass Bridge and tuning stable Open-Gear tuners complete the Frank Bello Signature Pro-Mod So-Cal Bass PJ from Charvel.
The Charvel Frank Bello Signature Pro-Mod So-Cal Bass PJ IV MN Gloss is a top-class rock and metal bass with a skillful combination of classic style and modern handling.
Thanks to the rounded neck base, the screwed maple "Speed Neck" of the Frank Bello Bass can be played up to the high registers without any problems.
Classic style, agile handling
A modern Bass for rock and metal, the Frank Bello Signature So-Cal combines traditional bass design with excellent playing characteristics. While the classic Precision Bass body made of poplar fits comfortably on the body due to the belly carve, the rounded neck heel allows unobstructed access to the high registers of the bolt-on maple neck. The slim "Speed Neck" profile with just 38 mm nut width and compound fingerboard radius also lets any tricky riff come out of the fingers with ease.
Active EMG Frank Bello Signature PJ pickups with EMG X Preamp promise powerful bass sounds with enormous headroom.
EMG Frank Bello Signature Pickups
The electrical sound transformation of the Frank Bello SignatureBass naturally takes over the active EMG Signature pickup set of the New Yorker bass legend. The classic PJ setup with an EMG LJAX single coil at the bridge and an EMG PCSX Split coil in the mid position promises marrow-shaking bass tones that range from lush low-end thrust to wiry assertiveness. The special Preamp of the EMG X pickups promises a particularly high headroom for dynamic and expressive Bass playing. The pickups of the electric Signature bass guitar are also controlled straightforwardly via their own volume controls.
The headstock of the Charvel Frank Bello Signature Bass bears four tuning-stable open-gear tuners and the logo of the bass legend from New York.
Indestructible hardware equipment
Last but not least, high-quality hardware equipment with unlimited road suitability completes the Frank Bello Signature Pro-Mod So-Cal Bass PJ IV MN Gloss Black. On the body, the extremely solidly built Charvel HiMass Bridge not only supports the lively sound character of the electric bass but also guarantees exact adjustment of intonation and string action with four tailpieces. Besides Frank Bello's personal logo, the traditionally designed headstock bears open-gear tuners that promise precise tuning with unshakable stability.
