Fender American Professional Classic Mustang Bass Maple Fingerboard Faded Dakota Red

The American Professional Classic Mustang Bass: compact power, vintage soul

Short Scale. Big Punch.

The American Professional Classic Mustang Bass is a modern tribute to one of Fender's most beloved offset designs. With its short 30 inch scale, punchy split-coil tone, and sleek Faded Dakota Red finish, this instrument delivers a playing experience that’s as fun as it is professional. Whether you're laying down groove-heavy lines or tracking tight studio parts, this Mustang Bass offers tone and comfort in a compact form.

A Neck Designed for Fast Playability

The satin-finished maple neck features a Modern "C" profile that feels instantly familiar. Paired with a 9.5 inch radius maple fingerboard and medium jumbo frets, it provides a smooth, responsive surface for both fingerstyle and pick players. The black dot inlays maintain a clean, vintage look while aiding navigation along the 19 frets.

Coastline '70s Pickup with Greasebucket Tone Control

Equipped with a Coastline '70s split-coil pickup in the middle position, this Mustang dishes out rich lows, punchy mids, and crisp articulation. The unique Greasebucket tone circuit allows you to roll off treble without introducing muddiness, giving you more usable tone shaping right from the instrument. Simple and effective, just how it should be.

Classic Aesthetic, Road-Ready Hardware

With an alder body and gloss urethane finish, the Mustang is as durable as it is stylish. The vintage-style hardware includes a 4-saddle string-through-body bridge for increased sustain and tuning stability. Classic "lollipop" tuners round out the retro look, while nickel/chrome hardware provides long-term reliability on the road.

Compact Versatility in a Professional Package

Ideal for players of all sizes or anyone looking for something nimble with full-throated tone, the American Professional Classic Mustang Bass is built to perform. From indie gigs to studio sessions, this bass proves that big things come in short scale packages.
