- Hey, everyone, this is Nathan Navarro for Fender.
Today we're taking a look
at the brand new Fender Player Mustang PJ Bass.
The Mustang Bass
is one of Fender's most enduring bass designs,
with its original release in 1964.
Its slick visual style is one of my personal favorites,
and you can see and hear the Mustang Bass
with artists ranging from My Chemical Romance
to the Rolling Stones.
For 2020, Fender's adding a boost of power and flexibility
to the traditional short scale design
with added P Bass and J Bass pickups
for a well-rounded massive bass tone.
For this demo, the bass is plugged
directly into a Rumble Stage 800,
and I have a Beta 52A and SM57 blend capturing the sound.
For the play in, I was using both pickups.
Let's take a listen to the J pickup now
for a more present and punchy tone.

The Mustang PJ Bass has a 30-inch scale length,
C-shaped maple neck, and 9.5 inch radius
for a smooth playing feel.
The fingerboard is pau ferro, and has 19 medium jumbo frets.
It has vintage style tuning machines
and the color on this model is Aged Natural.
It's also available in Fire Mist Gold, and Sienna Sunburst.
We have a four-saddle bridge,
master volume and tone controls, three-way pickup,
bridge, bridge and neck, neck,
one J Bass single-coil pickup,
and one P Bass split single-coil middle pickup.
Let's hear the P pickup.
Where the J Bass is punchy,
the P is going to give you that deep boom.
(upbeat music)
And there it is, the Fender Player Mustang PJ Bass.
It's versatile, it's thunderous,
don't let the size fool you.
It can cover any number of styles
from classic to contemporary.
It feels great, and looks stunning.

For the play out, I'm going to use
the Rumble's built-in looper.
Have a good one.
