This Easy-to-play Bass Oozes Vintage Style and Tone
With its easy-playing 30" scale length and punchy growl, the Mustang Bass is a favorite in the hands of any vintage rock, surf, or soul fancier. The Fender Vintera '60s Mustang Bass marks a return to the look, feel, and sound of a vintage Fender in its first years of production. For period-correct tone and playability, the Vintera '60s Mustang Bass rocks a punchy-sounding Fender vintage-style '60s split single-coil pickup and a fast '60s C-profile maple neck topped with a smooth, richly grained 7.25"-radius pau ferro fingerboard. A 4-ply aged white pearloid pickguard and killer vintage-colored finish complete the authentic '60s vibe.

The style and sound of Fender's golden era
The Vintera Series celebrates the guitars and basses that put Fender on the map. If you've ever wanted a vintage Fender but were put off by price, the Vintera Series is for you. Fender created the Vintera '60s Mustang Bass for players who want an easy-playing instrument that delivers the style and sound of Fender's golden era. Equipped with the iconic features that defined the decade — including a period-correct neck profile and playing feel, along with revoiced pickups — this bass serves up the seismic tone that propelled the Mustang Bass to legendary status among generations of bassists.
'60s split pickup for authentic tone
For authentic tone, Fender revoiced the split-coil '60s Mustang Bass pickup to sound just like the original. Punchy and growling, it has the tone that made Fender the #1 choice of electric bassists worldwide. The mid-'60s C-shaped neck has a 7.25"-radius fingerboard with 19 vintage-style frets for an authentic playing feel. A vintage-style 4-saddle bridge with threaded saddles and vintage-style Lollipop tuners provide original-spec aesthetics as well as rock-solid performance and tuning stability. String it with flatwound strings for those silky-smooth Motown grooves, or go with rounds for more contemporary styles. Either way, your Vintera Mustang Bass from Sweetwater is destined to be your favorite bass.
