Crafted with features like a GreaseBucket tone circuit for taming high-end without making your sound muddy and a combination of passive Alnico V Yosemite Jazz and split Mustang pickups, the Fender American Performer Mustang Bass delivers a quality US-made instrument at a solid price point. The calibrated, shellac-dipped pickups deliver a wide spread of tone from smooth thumps to outright growls while the Modern C-shape maple neck and 30" make for some of the smoothest playing around.
