About the Fender Mustang Bass

The Fender Mustang Bass has been in Fender's lineup since 1966 — over 60 years of continuous production, which speaks to how well it has been received. Fender has been building instruments in the United States since 1946. You may also see this listed as "Mustang PJ Bass" — they refer to the same instrument.

Buying Guide

• 1Check the truss rod adjustment — bass necks take more tension than guitar necks and are more prone to developing bows.
• 2Test the electronics with the bass plugged into an amp. Active basses should have a fresh battery for testing.
• 3Inspect the nut slots — bass strings can wear deep grooves that cause buzzing on the first few frets.
