| Product Name: | Fender Limited Edition Mustang Bass PJ Electric Guitar, Surf Pearl |
| Product Description: | Versatile Sound, Classic Style Since its original release in 1964, the Mustang Bass has been one of Fender's most enduring bass designs, finding its way into the hands of bassists ranging from The Rolling Stones to My Chemical Romance. This updated version of the short-scale underground hero adds the power of our venerable P Bass and J Bass pickups to the traditional Mustang design for flexible, thunderous bass tone with smooth playing feel and slick visual style. 30" scale length; "C"-shaped maple neck One P Bass split single-coil middle pickup, one J Bass single-coil bridge pickup 9.5"-radius Pau Ferro fingerboard with 19 medium jumbo frets Four-saddle bridge; four-bolt neck plate; vintage-style tuning machines Master Volume and Tone controls; three-way pickup switch Short Scale This Mustang Bass features Fender's classic short scale length (30") for pronounced playing comfort for students and beginners, smaller players and anyone who enjoys the easily reachable range of a short-scale bass. "PJ" Pickup Configuration Bassists will appreciate the tonal versatility of the "PJ" pickup configuration, with a seismic split single-coil Precision Bass middle pickup and growling Jazz Bass bridge pickup. Modern "C" - Shaped Neck This instrument features a modern neck designed for comfort and performance, with a contemporary "C"-shaped profile (the shape of the neck in cross section), 9.5" fingerboard radius and medium jumbo frets. Three-Way Pickup Switch This Mustang Bass features a three-way toggle pickup switch, giving you either the bridge or neck pickup alone or both. Four-Saddle Hardtail Bridge This model features a hardtail four-saddle bridge for solid tuning stability, precise intonation and increased sustain. Engraved Neck Plate This Mustang Bass features a special neck plate engraved with a Fender "F" logo - a classic design element for Fender instruments. |

Seems to be very highly rated for the Sweetwater model. I was looking at $300 Squire vintage modified PJ-equipped P-bass. This MIM (I assume) Mustang Fender SE at just $100 more is intriguing. Shorter 30" scale compared to the P-bass...
I did end up changing out the pickups with a Seymour Duncan quarter pound set, and for my personal taste, was a huge improvement over the stock pickups. That being said, the stock pickups sound pretty good as is, and are definitely usable especially at this price point.

I had a passive squier VM SS jag for a while. I liked it best with about 80/20 to 70/30 P to J after I did a magnet mod to boost the J. If I had have kept it I might have put in a switch to cut out the J as well. I personally much preferred the neck profile on the squier bronco I had rebuilt and sold (stupid me). Of course neither bass compares very well against my gretsch junior jet as a whole package.
Okay reviews seem to indicate that the switch is a weak point. An electronics job wouldn't hurt this, and IF someone liked the neck profile and playability it would tend to be a keeper bass.
