Up for sale is a near-mint, upgraded 2025 Fender American Professional Classic Mustang Bass in classic 3-Color Sunburst. The build quality is incredible and the tone is fantastic, but I’m just not bonding with it. It has absolutely zero cosmetic flaws, scratches, or dings—it is in pristine, showroom condition.Save yourself the retail markup, taxes, and the immediate cost of a professional setup and premium strings!Specs & Upgrades:
- Finish: 3-Color Sunburst
- Year / Origin: 2025, Corona, CA Factory (Serial: US25105027)
- Professional Setup: Freshly set up with low, comfortable action by the expert luthiers at The Luthier Shop. Intonation is spot-on and it plays effortlessly.
- Premium Strings: Upgraded to a brand-new set of La Bella "Stang" Flatwounds. These are specifically designed, sized, and tensioned for the through-body stringing of Mustang basses to give it that classic, punchy, old-school Motown thump. (Original Fender factory roundwounds are included).
- Aesthetic Upgrade: Swapped out the plain stock black pickguard for a beautiful vintage-style tortoise guard. (Original black factory pickguard is also included in the case).
- Case: Includes the official heavy-duty Fender Deluxe Gig Bag. (Note: Fender does not manufacture a custom molded hardshell case for this specific modern contour, so this deluxe bag is the premium factory standard).
A Note on the Electronics:
The tone knob functions perfectly. Please note that this premium American model utilizes Fender's specialized Greasebucket™ Tone Circuit. Unlike a traditional P-bass that heavily cuts highs and adds muddy low-end when rolled back, the Greasebucket circuit smoothly rolls off high-end sparkle WITHOUT adding mud or losing overall volume. It is designed by Fender to be a subtle, transparent tone shaper.Shipping & Local Pickup Logistics:
- Shipping: Available to ship within the continental US at the buyer's expense. It will be securely packed in a proper instrument shipping box, fully insured, and shipped with tracking via Reverb Safe Shipping. Please contact me for an exact shipping quote to your zip code.
- Local Pickup: Free local pickup is highly welcomed in St. Charles, Illinois (Fox Valley / Western Chicagoland area). I am more than happy to drive a reasonable distance to meet up at a safe, public location (such as Geneva, Batavia, Aurora, or nearby suburbs) to facilitate a handoff.
