Squier Paranormal Rascal Bass HH - metallic black

The SQUIER Paranormal Rascal Bass HH (0370456510) rewrites the playbook of electric bass design with a greatest-hits-list of features from several eccentric 1960s-era Fender® bass models. Combining the offset body shape of the Fender Bass VI model, the unique headstock shape from the Fender Coronado Bass, the string-through-body bridge from the Mustang® Bass, and punchy dual Fender-Designed Wide Range humbucking bass pickups (HH) with 3-way switching, this model amounts to something truly greater than the sum of its parts. Other player-friendly details of this model include a short and easy-to-play 30" scale length, a slim and comfortable "C"-shape neck profile, and a gloss neck finish for a slick yet confident feel.

Body is made of Poplar, considered as a nice alternative for Alder, with close balanced tonal characteristics.
The lighter feel, subtler grain and cheaper cost of Poplar is perfect for affordable instruments. Netherless it is used to built some high quality guitars and basses.

Fingerboard is made of Laurel. It's a spectacular and often overlooked guitar tonewood. It has the look and feel to that of East Indian Rosewood, offering rich overtones and brilliant highs that produce lively and dynamic performances. It's sound is often compared to that of Brazilian Rosewood.
