Fender - American Professional Classic Mustang Bass Split Single RW Faded Sherwood Green Metallic + Housse

The Fender American Professional Classic Mustang Bass Faded Sherwood Green Metallic gives you a surprisingly dynamic playing experience, thanks to its short, 30-inch scale that makes for smoother playing, even during long rehearsals. The centre pickup, a simple 70s Coastline Mustang Bass overwound coil, is no extra: it sends out a clear, biting signal with enough body to stand up in a rock or indie mix without wincing. The Greasebucket control system lets you dose the highs without fattening up the bass. The result? A clean tone for those who need precision without sacrificing a good dose of vintage grit.

This model leaves nothing to be desired in terms of ergonomics. Its Modern C profile maple neck, screwed to the body with four anchoring points, will follow you nimbly from the bottom of the neck to the 19th fret. And the rosewood fingerboard? A real boulevard of comfort. Add to this the Medium Jumbo frets, vintage-style tuning machines and solid bridge binding, and you've got an instrument that suits your hand as well as your tempo.

The Faded Sherwood Green Metallic finish isn't just a treat for the eyes. Combined with the nickel/chrome hardware, it evokes Fender's roots while projecting a subtly casual charm. Nothing too flashy, but just enough to get you noticed on stage (or at the neighbour's at 3am, your choice).
The black/white/black pickguard further enhances the overall elegance, and little details like the synthetic bone saddle, vintage-style binding and Fender 5250XL strings add a hand-crafted consistency that will delight purists. In short: a compact, smart bass with aplomb. Still not sure? Just pick it up and it'll take care of the rest.
