Description
The Fender Player II Mustang Bass PJ brings the iconic short-scale design into the modern era with powerful pickups and flexible tones. With its comfortable 30" scale length and smooth playing feel, this updated underground hero is perfect for bassists of all sizes seeking vintage Fender vibe with contemporary punch and versatility.
Dual Pickup Configuration Unlocks a World of Tone
At the heart of the Mustang Bass PJ lies a potent pickup combination derived from Fender's most revered bass designs. The punchy Player Series Alnico 5 split single-coil P Bass pickup in the middle position pairs beautifully with the growling Player Series Alnico 5 single-coil J Bass pickup in the neck position. This dual pickup configuration unlocks an incredibly wide range of tones from classic P Bass thump to snarling J Bass growl—and everywhere in between. The 3-way toggle pickup selector puts all these voices at your fingertips.
Compact Body and Short Scale for Effortless Playing
Thanks to its time-honored 30" short scale, the Mustang Bass PJ plays with an addictively loose and comfortable feel. The reduced string tension lets you effortlessly fret notes and execute intricate bass lines. The compact alder body is lightweight and contoured to rest perfectly against your body, ideal for high-energy gigs and marathon recording sessions. Despite its smaller size, the Mustang Bass PJ captures the classic Fender tone and visual styling that has inspired generations of bassists.
Vintage-Inspired Styling With Modern Refinements
While the Mustang Bass PJ stays true to its 1960s roots with vintage-style tuning machines, a disc string tree and that unmistakable offset body shape, it also benefits from modern upgrades. The 9.5" radius maple fingerboard with 19 medium-jumbo frets provides a familiar playing surface ideal for any technique. The C-shaped maple neck feels right at home, whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out on bass. Topped with a 3-ply parchment pickguard, this eye-catching instrument looks as great as it sounds.
