The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
PJ pickup pairing provides tonal flexibility across genres; updated Player II hardware and electronics reduce maintenance headaches; 30-inch short scale reduces finger reach while maintaining projection; slab body design with modern contours balances ergonomics and aesthetics.
Short scale requires compatible strings and strap comfort varies by player physiology. Setup costs minimal with quality hardware included. Pairs naturally with standard bass rigs; no exotic accessories needed. Bridge and tuner quality reduce ongoing maintenance.
A legitimate Player-tier instrument that doesn't sacrifice tonal range or build quality for its compact dimensions. The Mustang Bass PJ proves short-scale basses can be serious studio and live tools, not novelties. Strong value at this price point.

Player II Mustang® Bass PJ

The Player II Mustang® Bass PJ radiates timeless Fender charm, but under the hood, it's primed for today's players. Everything about the neck is designed for fast and fluid playability, from the Modern “C”-profile with silky satin urethane finish on the back to the comfy 9.5”-radius slab rosewood or maple fingerboard with smooth rolled edges and 19 medium jumbo frets. A classic alder body is available in both timeless Fender finishes and never-before-seen colors unearthed from the archives. Player Series Alnico V Split-Coil P bass® and Single-Coil J bass® pickups offer sweet highs, growling mids and seismic lows that elevate any genre. The 3-way toggle switch lets you easily dial in everything this versatile pickup set has to offer, while an adjustable 4-saddle bridge, single-groove steel saddles and open-gear tuners ensure precise tuning stability for the flexibility to explore endless sonic possibilities.
Perfect for crafting your own sound, the Player II Mustang® Bass PJ has the looks, tone and feel that only a Fender delivers.
