Justin Meldal-Johnsen’s bass/production credits with Beck, Nine Inch Nails and other top acts allow him to afford any instrument, but he still loves the feel and tone his '60s-era short-scale Fender Mustang Bass. With its easy-playing 30” scale, 9.5” radius and 19-fret rosewood fingerboard—and custom Seymour Duncan split-coil pickup—the old Mustang Bass has the perfect sound and feel.
In addition to vibe, simplicity and power, the JMJ Mustang Bass features vintage-style hardware, flatwound strings, aged pearloid pickguard and Hipshot “lollipop” tuners. Master volume and tone controls, and road worn Daphne Blue finish complete the package. A deluxe Fender gig bag is included. This one weighs 7lbs 13oz.
