Fender - American Professional Classic Mustang Bass Split Single MN Faded Dakota Red + Housse

If you've ever laid your hands on a Mustang Bass, this Fender American Professional Classic Faded Dakota Red is likely to bring back some vivid sonic memories. Its alder body, maple fingerboard and 762mm scale all contribute to instinctive playability, designed for round, responsive grooves. The shape of the Modern C neck makes it easy to get to grips with. It's got the right balance of attack and comfort to appeal to both beginners and those who have nothing left to prove. This model cultivates nostalgia while keeping its feet firmly planted in the present.

The centrally-mounted split-coil overwound 70s Coastline pickup injects this bass with a vintage grain spiked with a hint of natural saturation. Coupled with the Greasebucket circuit, it helps sculpt a warm sound without sinking into harmonic sludge. This clever system avoids excessive bass when you reduce the treble, without sacrificing the precision of your bass line.
A fixed bridge with through strings, steel bridges and vintage chrome fittings take care of the rest, so that every note remains taut but always responsive. In short, this bass is all about usefulness, without taking itself too seriously.

From the studio to the stage, via hushed afternoons in your living room, the Fender American Professional Classic Mustang Bass adapts to your needs without wincing. Its compact size means it won't tire of travelling with you, and the included gig bag preserves its contours without sacrificing mobility.
The 19 medium jumbo frets offer just the right amount of comfort without getting lost in the frills. And with its retro look, it's sure to catch the eye... or at least make your drummer smile.
