A Whole New Dimension

The Dimension bass is new territory for Fender, who crafted the original body shape out of ash for a bass on the lighter side with plenty of resonance. Asymmetry is a theme throughout, with the body's slight tilt giving it a fairly vintage look.

The Dimension's asymmetrical neck heel makes way for players who like to reach all the way up the neck, and the body contour makes a comfortable groove for standing bassists. A five-bolt neck plate also makes the most of being off-center, providing a more stable neck joint.

Neck Sculpted for Comfort

While playing an asymmetrical neck may sound like a arduous chore, the maple neck of the Fender Dimension breaks symmetry rules with a compound-radius rosewood fretboard. This design flattens out the fretboard toward the higher end for easy lead playing, while maintaining a more rounded profile at the lower half -- just where you'd want it when playing rhythm. The neck's overall profile is a "C" shape, popular with modern players who want to reach across as much of the neck as possible.

Explore the Sonic Frontier

Though outfitted with a single pickup in the bridge pickup, the Dimension makes the most of its read more electronics to offer a huge range of sounds. That pickup -- a Fender Dimension humbucker -- gives off punchy, authoritative tone that comes alive when overdriven.

The pickup runs into an 18-volt onboard preamp offering a three band EQ with bass, mid, and treble bass/cut and master volume.

Features:

- Ash body in Dimension body style
- Asymmetrical "C" shape maple neck
- Rosewood or compound radius fretboard
- Dimension humbucking pickup
- Master volume, treble/bass/mid cut/boost controls
- 18-volt preamp with active three-band EQ

Fender American Deluxe Dimension IV

The Fender American Deluxe Dimension IV Bass is a phenomenal instrument, with an ash body in the Dimension shape and featuring a comfortable asymmetrical neck heel. Its maple neck is crafted with a great-feeling asymmetrical 'C'-shaped profile, Posiflex graphite neck support rods, a convenient heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel, smooth hand-rubbed oil finish and five-bolt neck plate. The compound-radius (9.5"-14") maple or rosewood fingerboard has 21 medium jumbo frets and a bone nut, while the headstock has a gloss finish and Stealth 'A' string retainer.
