Review of Fender Mustang Bass Guitar

People who prefer a little smaller bass guitar like the Fender Mustang bass, with its 30 inch scale length. It has a split pick up that gives it a cool, vintage look. The body is made of alder, with a maple neck. The fingerboard is made of rosewood, with nickel silver frets and dot inlays. It has 19 frets. Controls on the body include one for volume and one for tone. The strings run through the body, and each saddle is individually adjustable.

The Fender Mustang bass is reported to have a very low action making it extremely easy to play. In fact, some purchasers actually choose to raise the action a bit.

Some of the original Mustangs are still around, of course, but they carry a collector's price tag. Still, you might have the option of getting one of these fine old basses in blue instead of just white or red. The headstock on the original basses from 1964 were small, but the ones that came out in '65 and '66 had a new larger headstock. By 1970, there were a wide variety of color options with the Fender Mustang bass.
