Bringing short-scale soul into the modern era, the American Professional Classic Mustang® Bass blends vintage styling with versatile, punchy tone and superb playability. Designed for players who want the classic feel of a 30″ scale bass with professional appointments, this model delivers both stage-ready sound and a timeless aesthetic.
Its Coastline™ ’70s Mustang® Bass split-coil pickup delivers tight, articulate lows and a warm midrange character that shines in any mix. The Modern “C” satin-finished maple neck with 9.5″ radius rosewood fingerboard ensures smooth playability, while 19 medium jumbo frets offer comfortable access across the entire fretboard.
From its 4-saddle string-through-body bridge to vintage-style “lollipop” tuners, every component is built for tuning stability and tonal consistency. The Mustang® Bass’ compact body shape and short scale length make it ideal for fast grooves, melodic runs, and extended sessions without fatigue.
