Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

The Fender Designed Wide-Range Bass Humbucking pickups are an excellent choice for any bassist looking to upgrade their sound. These electronics have a unique design that delivers warm, smooth tones with plenty of clarity and definition. Thanks to their humbucking design, unwanted noise and interference is reduced, providing a clean and clear sound both on stage and in the studio. Additionally, these pickups offer a high output, so they're perfect for players who want to push their amps a little harder and achieve a more aggressive tone.
In addition to the Wide-Range pickups, the Paranormal also features a master volume, master tone, and 3-way pickup switching controls. These provide a lot of flexibility and allow for an abundance of tonal options. The master volume control allows you to adjust the overall level of your bass, whilst the tone control can help you fine-tune your sound, from bright and biting to warm and woody. And with the 3-way pickup switching, you can choose between different configurations, so you can find the perfect tone for any playing situation. These pickups are an excellent choice for any bass player looking to expand their tonal options.
The poplar body used on this unique bass offers numerous benefits to musicians looking for a high-quality instrument. Its lightweight nature makes it easy to handle and ideal for musicians who play for extended periods. This reduces shoulder fatigue and allows for long gigs or recording sessions without discomfort. Its tonal qualities are equally as perfect. Poplar offers warm and resonant sounds that complement the bass's low-end frequencies. This sound provides much needed depth and character to the overall tone.
Each and every detail is meticulously crafted for the ultimate performance. Its maple C profile provides a comfortable grip for easy movement, whilst its smooth laurel fingerboard promotes precise and smooth string movement, offering greater control over your playing. What's more, the 9.5" radius allows for a flatter string action, ensuring that tuning adjustments remain minimal. On top of the fingerboard sit twenty-one narrow tall frets, which makes executing both basic and intricate finger movements easy and precise, offering greater flexibility and creativity within your playing.
Fender's offset shape design has been a distinct characteristic for many of guitars for decades, and it continues to be an attractive feature for musicians today. This shape provides comfortable playability, as it is easier to hold and play during both seated and standing performances. Additionally, the offset design allows for effortless access to the highest frets, making it an excellent choice for musicians that engage in soloing and playing elaborate riffs. But alongside all of its playing benefits, the offset also adds to the iconic aesthetic, providing appeal for musicians and collectors alike.
The Squier Paranormal Series is a line of electric guitars aimed at budget-conscious players who don't want to compromise on quality or style. This collection draws inspiration from some of Fender's more obscure designs from the '50s and '60s. Each model offers a unique set of features and specifications, but all of them benefit from Squier's reputation for producing affordable yet high-quality instruments. With their vintage-inspired looks and modern playability, the Squier Paranormal Series is an excellent choice for players looking to stand out from the crowd without breaking the bank.
