Ready to wow the competition





The Vintera II Series celebrates the guitars and basses that put Fender on the map. Not to mention, if you’re all about the ’70s, you’ll be all over the Vintera II ‘70s Competition Mustang. Not only does this bass pack undeniable style, but it performs like a champ. Fender achieved the exceptional performance of this Vintera II Mustang by outfitting it with tonewoods and hardware that can get the job done. An alder body sets the groundwork for grooves, while a maple neck and rosewood fingerboard take it a step further with an Early ’70s “C”-shape neck and a 7.25-inch fingerboard radius. You’ll find your speed in no time whether you vie for rock, blues, surf, pop, or something experimental. Its 20 vintage-tall frets set you up for expressive bends and vibratos. Other features like vintage-style open-back tuning machines, a 4-Saddle Mustang Bass Strings-through-body bridge, and a wicked-cool finish make this bass a formidable companion on any stage.





A ’70s split single-coil brings the growl





Fender packed the Vintera II ’70s Mustang with a vintage-style ’70s split single-coil pickup to deliver tones straight out of music’s favorite decade. Don’t be fooled by the Mustang’s smaller size: though it’s smaller than a P Bass, this Mustang has a penchant for punching up the room with powerful tone that’s growling and dynamic. Fender also ensured these pickups ring with iconic tone that’s warm, woody, and ready for any musical situation. With undeniable ’70s style and inspiring sound, the Fender Vintera II ’70s Mustang Bass is destined to usurp its spot as your new favorite.
