Description
The Fender American Professional Classic Mustang Bass in Faded Dakota Red brings the short-scale comfort, vintage vibe, and punchy tone that has made the Mustang Bass a favorite for decades. It's ideal for players who want a fast-playing, lightweight bass with tight, focused low end and classic looks. The Faded Dakota Red finish with a black pickguard gives it a bold, stage-ready presence.
This model features an alder body with a gloss urethane finish, a Modern "C" maple neck, and a maple fingerboard with 19 frets. The Coastline Mustang Bass pickup delivers a balanced tone with clear articulation and a solid low end, making it a versatile choice for multiple genres. The Master Greasebucket tone circuit lets you roll off highs without adding low-end boom, giving you more precise tonal control. A 4-saddle Mustang Bass bridge with strings-through-body construction enhances sustain and stability, while vintage-style "lollipop" tuners keep tuning reliable.
Its short scale and comfortable neck profile make it easy to play for extended sessions without fatigue. We've spent time with this bass, and it's a great blend of vintage tone and modern dependability that you can take straight to the stage or studio.
