This Player II Mustang Bass is a seriously fun instrument.

It's a great choice for rock, pop, and anything needing a bit of vintage vibe without being overly complex.

Frequently Asked Questions
It's fatter and warmer than a standard P-bass pickup due to the coil splitting, but retains a good amount of definition and punch.
The Modern C profile is generally comfortable, but the short scale might feel a bit snug for players with very large hands; a test play is recommended.
The standard 4-saddle bridge is adequate for most playing situations, but more advanced players may prefer an aftermarket upgrade for even greater tuning precision.
