While the short-scale scale of the bass guitar built with classic tonewoods contributes significantly to the buttery-soft playability and characterful sound development, the PJ pickup setup ensures a wide range of sounds. Typical Vintage-StyleHardware in the form of a 4-saddle bridge and open tuners completes the Player Mustang Bass from Fender.

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 Pau Ferro 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 PF Firemist Gold from Fender comes with especially reliable Hardware in the popular Vintage-Style. The classic 4-saddle bridge with four individually adjustable tailpieces promises optimal intonation and comfortable string position, while the headstock bass machine heads with open gears ensure precise and solid tuning.
