Production ceased around the same time as the Mustang Bass. Rather than the split-coil design of the Mustang Bass, it featured a single-coil pickup, which was actually a six-pole Stratocaster guitar pickup under a solid plastic cover. The Musicmaster Bass variant was also introduced in the mid-1960s and was originally marketed as a student model.
In production almost continuously to 1981, the Mustang Bass was reissued by Fender Japan in 1998. (The yellowing of the lacquer on some early models has also resulted in "rare" colours like Surf Green, in reality a yellowed Competition Blue). and were later available in various plain finishes including black and sunburst. In 1969, both the Mustang guitar and bass were issued with 'Competition' finishes-i.e., red with three white stripes, a thick one between two thinner ones, Lake Placid Blue with lighter blue stripes, etc. Mustang Basses, like all Fender guitars, were finished in nitrocellulose lacquer up until 1968, thereafter in thick polyester finish. The standard finishes were red and white.
Like the early Precision and Jazz basses, the Mustang Bass was fitted with string mutes (although most players removed these). The Mustang Bass has a short 30" scale and a single split pickup (similar to the Precision Bass), one volume and one tone control, with strings-through-body routing. Introduced in 1966 as a companion to Fender's shorter-scaled, two-pickup Fender Mustang guitars, the Mustang Bass was the last original bass designed by Leo Fender before his departure from the company in 1965. Mustang basses came with the standard "Pull-bar" of the early Fender era, but many beginners moved theirs to the left side of the neck to become a thumbrest for finger playing. Relatively unique elements of the Mustang bass were the string-through body design, and the 7-bolt bridge. They featured a split coil pickup with plastic covering, as opposed to the Precision style pickup with exposed pole pieces. Mustang basses utilize, for economic reasons, the same body as the Fender MusicMaster, Bronco, and DuoSonic guitars. Two variants, the Musicmaster Bass and the Bronco Bass, have also been produced from time to time using the same body and neck shape.

I've had almost a year, I like the handle, ergonomics and sound. For lovers of vintage sounds, this coupling and enjoyable! I play plugged into a combo markbass cmd121, or, and there is a pure happiness in an amplifier 320 and its Acoustic Acoustic baffle 408. As stated above, we get a sound close to a PB but with the short scale neck and lightweight which makes it easier to play than its big sister. I mounted flat nets and I use a pop-rock project for which she seems to have been invented. The sound is very similar to a Precision Bass good roots. It is a lightweight and well balanced as well. The neck is perfect, right, fine, very enjoyable to play. Made in the USA in 1971, bridge and hardware "roots" Fender short scale neck, stratocaster type microphone (yes, really!), Volume and tone.
