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. Powered by a time-tested pair of pickups, the Mustang Bass PJ is packed with flexible tone that can match any sonic requirement. A punchy split single-coil P Bass middle pickup is joined by a growling Jazz Bass neck pickup in an unbeatable pairing that combines the best of both sonic worlds. Master volume and tone controls, along with a conventional three-way pickup switch get you to all available sounds. The 30 scale length reduces string tension, creating a looser playing feel that lends itself to nimble playing styles while adding a fat, blooming quality to the lower notes and sweetening the higher notes. Topped by a 9.5 -radius Pau Ferro fingerboard with 19 medium jumbo frets, the C -shaped maple neck is comfortable for all playing styles.
