Pre-Owned 2021 Fender American Performer Mustang Bass – Aubergine (75th Anniversary)
Boutique Short-Scale Punch with American Craftsmanship
Crafted in Corona, California, the American Performer Mustang Bass takes Fender’s iconic 30-inch short-scale design and elevates it into a modern, stage-ready workhorse. Finished in the deep and lustrous Aubergine gloss—a striking metallic plum/dark-violet paired with an aged white pearloid pickguard—this 2021 model features the official 75th Anniversary commemorative neck plate, adding a touch of Fender history to a killer instrument.
Yosemite Pickups & Greasebucket Tone Circuit
Unlike traditional single-pickup Mustangs, the American Performer expands your sonic range by pairing a punchy Yosemite Split-Coil Mustang middle pickup with a growling Yosemite Single-Coil Jazz Bass bridge pickup. Engineered specifically for the Performer series with flat-staggered pole pieces and shellac coating, these pickups yield higher output while controlling feedback.
To fine-tune your sound, Fender loaded this model with their proprietary Greasebucket™ Tone Circuit. This unique feature allows you to roll off the high frequencies without adding muddy low-end or losing output gain, keeping your basslines defined and punchy in any mix.
Key Features
-
30″ Short-Scale Agility: The shorter scale length reduces string tension for an effortlessly fast feel, making wide finger stretches, fast fills, and bends a breeze.
-
75th Anniversary Commemorative Neck Plate: Built during Fender’s 2021 milestone year in Corona, CA.
-
Modern “C” Maple Neck with Satin Finish: Smooth satin urethane finish on the back prevents hand dragging during long gigs.
-
Rosewood Fingerboard & Medium-Jumbo Frets: A classic 9.5″ radius fingerboard with 19 medium-jumbo frets provides familiar, comfortable playing ergonomics.
-
Vintage-Style Tapered Shaft Tuners: Features lightweight paddle-key tuners with tapered shafts that force string windings downward for increased nut pressure, enhanced sustain, and rock-solid tuning stability.
Condition Note
This instrument is pre-owned and in excellent condition. The metallic Aubergine finish looks stunning in the light and the sound is amazing! Comes complete with a padded gig bag!
