About Fender American Performer OB

Over the years, the American Performer Mustang Bass Guitar has become an iconic symbol of style and sound innovation. Crafted with precision in Corona, California, this short-scale bass guitar is a testament to Fender's commitment to high-quality musical instruments. The Artic White finish with a rosewood fingerboard not only adds a touch of modern elegance but also ensures a smooth playing experience for bassists of all levels.

The heart of this versatile instrument lies in its meticulously engineered pickups. The Yosemite split-coil Mustang Bass middle pickup, replicated from original 1970s Fender blueprints, offers a warm and rich tone that is both nostalgic and contemporary. Complementing it is the aggressive Yosemite single-coil Jazz Bass bridge pickup, which is designed to deliver a full-bodied growl that can command any stage or studio session.

These pickups are not just about raw power; they are fine-tuned for clarity and nuance. With flat-staggered pole pieces, they achieve a higher output, while the shellac coating on the coils ensures they breathe freely, reducing feedback and allowing for a wide spectrum of dynamic sounds. This makes the American Performer Mustang Bass Guitar a durable and high-quality choice for genres ranging from jazz to rock, funk to soul, and beyond.

The Greasebucket tone circuitry is another standout feature, offering players the unique ability to sculpt their high frequencies without muddying the low end, thus maintaining the integrity of the bass's natural sound. This level of control is invaluable for bassists who demand precision in their tone-shaping capabilities.

The "Modern C"-shaped neck of this stylish bass guitar is designed for comfort, catering to a variety of playing styles. The 9.5"-radius fingerboard, paired with 19 jumbo frets, allows for effortless string bending and smooth transitions across the fretboard, ensuring that every note is played with ease and confidence.

In summary, the American Performer Mustang Bass Guitar in Artic White with a rosewood fingerboard is a durable, high-quality instrument that embodies the spirit of Fender's craftsmanship. Its versatile and modern features make it a top choice for musicians who value a classic design with contemporary enhancements. Whether on stage or in the studio, this open-box Mustang Bass is set to inspire with its exceptional tone and playability.
