Traditionally built Bass with high playing comfort
For the construction of the Player Mustang BassFender uses classic tonewoods in the form of an alder body and a bolt-on maple neck. The short 30" scale length (762 mm) not only provides a buttery smooth playing feel due to the reduced string tension, but also the surprisingly sonorous sound of the four-stringer. The slim C-neck profile with a narrow 38 mm nut width also lies comfortably in the hand, so that every groove succeeds with ease on the 19-fret maple fingerboard.
Split-coil and single-coil pickups with straightforward 3-way switching provide a rich tonal spectrum.
Flexible PJ pickup setup
At the bass amp, the Player Mustang Bass uses the popular PJ setup of a vintage-style split-coil in the middle position and a vintage-style single-coil at the bridge for a versatile sound spectrum that ranges from a strong power sound with thrusting bass and low mids to an assertive tone with wiry presence. A straightforward, passive 3-way circuit with toggle switch, volume knob and treble control allows full control over the sound of the electric bass guitar.
Four open-gear tuners provide stable and accurate tuning at the headstock of the Mustang Bass.
Indestructible Vintage-Style Hardware
Last but not least, the Player Mustang Bass PJ MN Sienna Sunburst from Fender comes up with especially reliable Hardware in the popular Vintage-Style. The classic 4-saddle bridge with four individually adjustable tail pieces promises optimal intonation and comfortable string position, while the headstock bass machine heads with open gears ensure precise and solid tuning.
