AMERICAN PERFORMER MUSTANG® BASS
Designed originally as a student bass, the Mustang Bass quickly took on a life of its own, inspiring innovators and new players alike with its short scale length and heavy tone. Born in Corona, California, the American Performer Mustang Bass continues that tradition with a modern feel, updated materials and exceptional tone thanks to a special split-coil Yosemite™ pickup.
- Yosemite™ single-coil Jazz Bass® bridge and split-coil Mustang Bass middle pickups
- Greasebucket™ tone system
- Tapered-shaft tuning machines
MUSTANG BASS YOSEMITE PICKUPS
Designed as a set with each calibrated for its respective position, Mustang Bass Yosemite pickups are the first specially-created alnico pickups offered at this price point. The neck pickup is a special split-coil design using original '70s Fender drawings with original magnet structure for authentic tone, while the bridge pickup uses Formvar-coated wire for classic Jazz Bass® tones and open, expressive highs.
ALL-NEW YOSEMITE™ PICKUPS
Our all-new Yosemite pickups work hard to deliver the sound you need for the performance you want. Custom-voiced for each instrument in the series, these unique alnico pickups offer tones as dynamic and expressive as the musician playing them.
GREASEBUCKET™ TONE CIRCUIT
One of several key features designed to add tonal variety with a quick flick of the wrist, this agile tone system lets you cut treble without losing gain or muddying your sound.
SATIN FINISHES
The American Performer Series features updated finishes, including satin versions of classics like Sonic Blue and Surf Green, and new colors Penny and Aubergine.
