Vintage Vibe, Modern Punch

Meet the Fender American Professional Classic Mustang Bass, a short-scale powerhouse that blends golden-era cool with modern-day muscle. Finished in a stunning Faded Dakota Red, this bass doesn't just look the part; it's built from the ground up for serious players. The classic combination of an Alder body and a Maple neck delivers that balanced, punchy tone that has defined countless records. It's got the resonance and clarity Fender is famous for, with a beefy midrange and a robust low-end that sits perfectly in any mix.

Coastline Pickups & Tone Circuit

Under the hood is where the magic really happens. Fender loaded this Mustang with a vintage-inspired Coastline® '70s Mustang Bass split-coil pickup. This pickup is slightly overwound, designed to deliver enhanced warmth, incredible focus, and all the punch you can handle. But it doesn't stop there. The Master Greasebucket™ Tone Circuit lets you roll off highs without adding mud or losing low-end definition, giving you immense tonal control right at your fingertips. It's a game-changer for sculpting your sound on the fly.

Effortless Playability

From the moment you pick it up, this bass just feels right. The 30" short scale length makes for comfortable fretting and a slinky feel, perfect for fast runs or long sessions. The Modern "C" neck profile is a player-favorite, offering a smooth, ergonomic feel that fits naturally in your hand. Paired with a 9.5" radius Maple fingerboard and Medium Jumbo frets, you get a buttery-smooth playing surface that's built for speed and comfort.

- In business since 1976! Moore Music has been a premier brick-and-mortar guitar shop in Evansville, Indiana since shortly after opening in 1976. Founder, Pat Moore, instilled in his business the concept of old-school service that we build upon today. When the current owner, Brett Mulzer, took the store online as Moore Guitars in 2013, we quickly developed a reputation for honesty and integrity in all our interactions with our customers. That’s a prime reason why we’re the fastest-growing online guitar shop.

- Old School Customer Service: Nothing is more important than helping a customer even if we don’t make a sale. We believe that if we’re honest with you, and treat you right, you’ll be back. Call us, or chat with us online. We love talking about guitars, and we want to help you find your perfect instrument. Even if it’s not from us.... but we think it will be!

- Our sales staff are all musicians! What’s more important than communication? We speak your language. Whether you’re a beginner or a professional player, we’ve been in your shoes. A lot of aspects of the guitar are intangible, and a non-player just can’t understand. It’s a guitar thing. But we can talk about tone and feel in the same language you use. We know what it means to love an instrument, and we want to help you find your new love.

You should have NO disappointments when you see this guitar and hold it for its first strum! Please call the staff at Moore Guitars if you would like to have a personal “on the phone” description of this guitar. Thank you for looking at our listing!
