Fender - American Professional Classic Mustang Bass Split Single RW 3-Color Sunburst + Housse

Over the decades, the Mustang series has established itself as an essential reference for short-string fans. This Fender American Professional Classic Mustang Bass 3-Color Sunburst continues the tradition, while adding a few modern refinements. The Coastline 70s split-coil pickup in the centre position offers a warm, muscular grain inspired by vintage models, but with a dose of extra punch. This type of configuration will delight bassists looking for a responsive, round and balanced sound, without drowning out the lower end of the spectrum. From the very first notes, the responsiveness of the instrument becomes a true extension of the musical intention.

Ergonomics are not to be outdone. The Modern C neck on this Mustang Bass ensures an intuitive grip and immediate comfort, even after hours of playing. The 9.5-inch radius and Medium Jumbo frets make for fluid playing, whether you're into mellow walking bass or more snappy grooves. All the inspiration you need at the most unlikely moments.

Fender has clearly thought of those who don't want to choose between style and efficiency. The 3-Colour Sunburst finish, black/white/black 3-ply pickguard, Lollipop tuners and vintage strap fasteners give this American Professional Classic Mustang Bass a visual cachet halfway between garage rock and polished studio bass. The Greasebucket electronics allow you to play on the highs without dulling the lows, which quickly becomes addictive once you start sculpting your sound. You might even forget there's a volume knob, as the tone control does all the work.
