‘70s Fender Competition Mustang Bass
The Vintera II ‘70s Competition Mustang Bass is a punchy unique short-scale bass that packs a punch to deliver some hefty tones. A new model to the Vintera range, the Vintera II Competition Mustang features a conventional, small, offset body for a comfortable and unique playing position. The Alder body helps to pack a punch, holding clear tonal resonance; perfectly balanced for a lively beefy sound. The vintage-voiced ’70s split coil pickups are designed to replicate the punchy, growling tone that the Mustang Bass become famous for in the late ‘70s and ‘80s. Although they might seem small, they are packed with deep lows, beefy midranges, and articulate highs giving you a wide sonic variety.
The 30-inch short scale neck is perfect for smaller hands, or for those who prefer to experiment with they’re playing style, allowing you to effortlessly move up and down the neck. The shorter scale also contributes to the overall tone of the Vintera II Mustang Bass’ fat, full-bodied tone. The comfortable early- ‘70s “C” neck profile provides an inviting feel and familiarity that many have come to know and love. The vintage styling and feel really makes this bass stand out, right down to the racing stripe, and we all know racing stripes make everything cooler; it might even give you the ability to play faster.
