Fender American Performer Limited-Edition Mustang Electric Bass Guitar Satin Honey Burst

Amazing sound. Super easy to play. I checked it out over 3 months at GC before I bought it. And everytime I tried it, it was in tune. Says something about the build quality. I don't know why it was a "Special Edition" and cost $100 less then the regular Mustang Performers. I think it's the best looking.

I wish I had this bass when I started playing bass guitar in high school. I started on a fender P bass, which I still own, but this short scale base would have made learning a little easier. I like the way it sounds and feels when I play it. I really love the satin wood grain finish. The fit and finish on the bass is very good. I'm very happy with my purchase.

I have been eyeing the Fender Mustang P/J Basses since they were announced at NAMM. I am a guitarist and even though I don't NEED a bass, I find it inspiring to have one around for writing and recording purposes. This thing plays like a dream and is so light and comfortable I can't put it down. I was not really shopping for a bass but when I saw the honey burst finish I was obsessed and had to have it. I've always loved the unfinished woodgrain look and the newer Fender matte finishes are just stunning and feel so good in your hands.

I have been playing bass for 35 years. I prefer short scale basses and that's what I play 90% of the time now. This American Performer LE has become of my top 5. I also have the rosewood model, they're both quality instruments and exactly what you'd expect from Fender USA. I love the added versatility of having a jazz pickup on a Mustang Bass.
