5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent on every level. Get a pro setup and short scale strings
Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2021
It's not the only bass I've played but it is the first one I've owned. I am used to playing electric guitar and am not a big guy so I thought the size of this would work well and it's been perfect. It sounds great and the smaller size makes it easy to play. It's just a ton of fun to just pick up and start playing. The ability to switch between p-bass, j-bass, or combo gives a lot of tonal flexibility. My only advice would be to get a pro setup, though I think that's true for any new guitar. Mine only needed slight adjustments and a little sanding of fret edges. Also get specific short scale strings. The factory strings come with what looks like long scale strings that have been cut down. The strings aren't that great and they make the tension really "floppy." I put a set of GHS bright flats on and it plays like a dream and the string tension is great.

Quite a lot of good things to say about this bass. Short scale makes it easier to play, sounds great. Finish is perfect. It will be the one I probably play the most. It’s to bad that I gave it Four stars, to bad that one can’t give it Four and one half. I did so because of the sharp fret ends from the manufacture. It’s not fret sprout it sharp ends that will have to be addressed. But it’s not all of them it looks like someone was in a hurry. I can do them myself so it’s not like I have to pay someone to do it. I do have to say again that everything else is perfect. Packing kept it safe while being shipped. Came when promised. I know I will enjoy playing it.

Everything came flawless and as described. I’ve been playing bass for around 20 years and having this Mustang now is so fun. The smaller scale fretboard is the first selling point for me. Then pretty much every part on this bass is killer! Comes with the build tags still on the guitar showing who built, tuned & tested the guitar straight from Fender. Lovein all of this bass!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Great bass, but….

Great bass, however, I can’t turn the tone knob up or else I get a really bad buzz. Hopefully I can take apart the components and it’s just a grounding issue.

Good addition. Have some physical issues so this short scale really helps when I can't get the big boy out. Has good sound ans is a bit easier to play. I like that both P&J pickups are there sor me to "fiddle" with.
