Squier Launches Paranormal Rascal Bass HH
Squier has announced five new models to their Paranormal Series, which they say boast “otherworldly looks and earth-shattering tones.” The new lineup includes one bass called the Rascal Bass HH that combines an offset Bass VI body, a Coronado Bass headstock, and a Mustang Bass string-through-body bridge.
The 30-inch scale bass stands out with a pair of Fender-Designed Wide Range humbucking pickups for a punchy tone with vintage color and nuance, the company adds.
The Squier Paranormal Rascal Bass HH comes in Sherwood Green and Metallic Black, each with a Laurel fingerboard. It’s ready to ship now for $449.99.

Fender sure is going crazy with all these new basses……not sure if it’s good or not so good. I bought a player series Jazz a couple years ago and love it. Added flatwounds, it’s tone is awesome
