Full Description

Traditional Alder Body

The American Mustang Jazz Bass is crafted from a classic alder body, injecting your overall tone with excellent resonance and balanced for extra clarity when playing at high volumes. Fender have used alder as their tonewood of choice since the 50s as its balanced response and definition is ideal for rock and blues.

 

Maple Neck & Rosewood Fingerboard

The addition of a maple neck provides the American Mustang Bass with a beautifully bright characteristic, tightening up the overall tonality and deliver plenty of cut, while its ‘’C’’ profile provides a comfortably smooth performance. The neck is coupled with a rosewood fingerboard to enhance the bass with warm, soft tones, and ‘fur up’ the maples harsh edges for a sizzling high end and an open midrange attack. The rosewood’s naturally oily surface allows any stray overtones to be absorbed into the pours, offering this guitar with a natural fundamental tone, while the maple delivers a powerfully sharp punch when the strings are hit hard.

 

Resonant Synthetic Bone Nut

Featuring a carefully fitted synthetic bone nut, the Fender delivers an increased resonance and bright tonality. When compared to traditional plastic and Tusq materials used to construct guitar nuts, synthetic bone improves the vibration transfer between the string and tuning machines without dampening the tone.

 

The Mustang Bass

The Mustang bass was created as a companion for the range of Fender Mustang guitars, and was the last original bass designed by Leo Fender before his departure. The Mustang has become a hallmarked shape in underground music and culture, featuring in bands from the Rolling Stones to My Chemical Romance. Since its launch in 1964, this unique bass has become a classic choice for performing musicians worldwide thanks to its short scale length accommodating players with small hands.

 

Crafted with Care

Fender have been crafting the very best guitars in the business for over 70 years. They've always been at the forefront of developing instruments that continually raise the bar of quality for the music industry. With the Telecaster, they made the first successful solid body electric guitar. In the Strat, they invented distinctive sound that would drive rock 'n' roll to its status as one of the most well-loved music genres in existence. Their Precision and Jazz basses brought more power to bass playing than ever.

 

A company rooted in sonic revolution, Fender have returned to their Californian roots with the American Performer series. This is a stunning collection of instruments, each of which is designed in their Corona factory in the USA to provide vintage feel and sound, combined with superb, modern performance. These really are one-of-a-kind, and continue Fender's long tradition of changing the game in terms of guitar manufacture. Get yourself an American Performer for unique quality to last a lifetime.
