Modern Updates with Classic Fender DNA

Unique in its class, the Player II Mustang Bass PJ offers the rare combination of a 30" (762 mm) scale, rolled fingerboard edges, and a Player Series PJ pickup arrangement. A Modern "C" neck profile and satin urethane finish contribute to a smooth, fast feel suitable for demanding gigs or extended sessions. Blending Precision and Jazz Bass tones, along with a solid alder body and robust hardware, ensures that this instrument fits seamlessly into both stage and studio environments.

Short Scale Comfort for Expressive Performance

A shorter scale length delivers a warmer attack and less string tension, ideal for players with smaller hands or those seeking a vintage feel. Portability is also enhanced, encouraging expressive bends and slides.

• Scale Length: 762 mm — enables agile fretting and a unique, punchy tone
• With a Fingerboard Radius of 241 mm, you can expect a comfortable curve for both chords and fast lines.
• Frets: 19 medium jumbo — supports dynamic techniques and a smooth playing surface

Versatile Pickup System for Any Genre

The PJ pickup setup combines the fullness of a split Precision Bass pickup with the articulation of a Jazz Bass single-coil. Use the 3-way toggle switch to select either pickup or blend them for a wide palette of classic and modern sounds. This layout provides the flexibility to transition from deep, vintage thump to clear, modern bite quickly.

• Pickups: Player Series Alnico V Split P-Bass + Alnico V Single-Coil J-Bass — switchable for tone shaping
• Controls: Master Volume, Master Tone — straightforward yet powerful sound control
• Switch between pickup voices easily using the 3-position toggle for instant access to a variety of tones.

Hardware Built for Reliable Performance

Hardware on this Mustang is selected for accuracy and durability. A 4-saddle bridge with single-groove steel "barrel" saddles ensures solid intonation, while open-gear tuners and a synthetic bone nut provide stable tuning even during intense play. Nickel/chrome hardware and a 3-ply parchment pickguard enhance both appearance and resilience.

• Bridge: 4-saddle vintage style — allows precise setup for each string
• Tuners: Open-gear vintage style — classic aesthetics paired with reliable tuning
• Players who prefer a fast neck feel for different hand sizes will appreciate the Nut Width: 38.1 mm.
