Fender Player Mustang Bass [PJ] in Firemist Gold with a Maple neck and Pau Ferro fretboard. This Mustang PJ Bass version is fitted with the highly versatile combination of a P Bass split single-coil middle pickup and J Bass single-coil bridge pickup. The 30” scale makes it a bit less of a stretch to play.
Since its original release in 1964, the Mustang Bass has been one of Fender’s most enduring bass designs, finding its way into the hands of bassists ranging from The Rolling Stones to My Chemical Romance. This updated version of the short-scale underground hero adds the power of our venerable P Bass® and J Bass® pickups to the traditional Mustang design for flexible, thunderous bass tone with smooth playing feel and slick visual style.
