Since its debut in 1964, the Mustang Bass has been a timeless classic in Fender's lineup, beloved by bassists from The Rolling Stones to My Chemical Romance. This updated short - scale Mustang Bass PJ combines the iconic P Bass and J Bass pickups with the traditional Mustang design. It offers a versatile, thunderous bass tone, a smooth playing experience, and a sleek look. Powered by a reliable pair of pickups, it can meet any sonic need. The punchy split single - coil P Bass middle pickup pairs perfectly with the growling Jazz Bass bridge pickup, bringing out the best of both worlds. With master volume and tone controls and a three - way pickup switch, you can access all available sounds. The 30 - inch scale is more comfortable for smaller hands, reduces string tension, and gives a looser playing feel. It also adds a fat, 'blooming' quality to low notes and sweetens high notes. The 9.5 - inch - radius Pau Ferro fingerboard with 19 medium jumbo frets and the 'C' - shaped maple neck are great for all playing styles. This bass has a smaller body that fits those with smaller frames while keeping Fender's classic style. It's also lightweight, making it ideal for energetic stage performances. It comes with vintage - style Fender tuning machines, a vintage - style disc string tree, a four - bolt neck plate, and a standard four - saddle string - through - body bridge, all in gleaming chrome. This classic instrument, upgraded for modern bassists, offers a flexible sound, easy playability, and a cool style.

Using your Fender Limited Edition Player Mustang PJ Bass Guitar is a breeze. First, plug it into your amplifier using a standard instrument cable. Use the master volume control to adjust the overall sound level and the tone control to shape the sound to your liking. The three - way pickup switch lets you choose between different pickup combinations for various tones. When playing, the 30 - inch scale and 'C' - shaped neck make it easy to reach all the frets, especially if you have smaller hands. For maintenance, keep your bass clean by wiping it down with a soft, dry cloth after each use. This helps prevent dirt and sweat from building up on the body and fretboard. Check the tuning regularly using a tuner. If the strings start to sound dull or lose their tone, it's time to replace them. You can use Fender USA NPS strings with gauges.045 -.105. When not in use, store your bass in a suitable case to protect it from dust, humidity, and physical damage. Also, avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures as this can affect the wood and the electronics. With proper care, your Mustang PJ Bass Guitar will provide you with great sounds for years to come.
