Known as a true renaissance man of the modern music scene, Justin Meldal-Johnsen's bass credits include Beck, Nine Inch Nails and more.

JMJ is a shining example of today's breed of multi-genre musician/producers, ever pushing boundaries and inspiring others. From studio to stage, Justin's treasured '66 Mustang Bass is his tool of choice. We teamed up with him to create a signature 4-string modeled after his vintage Daphne Blue instrument - the Justin Meldal-Johnsen Road Worn Mustang Bass. Powered by a custom-spec split-coil pickup, the JMJ Road Worn Mustang bass is perfect for laying down punchy basslines with plenty of Fender mojo. The 30" scale gives it a tight, focused tone while the modern 9.5"-radius fingerboard with rolled edges offers a familiar feel that will make any bassist feel right at home.Designed for comfort and speed, this bass also has stage-ready style. From the nicks and picks scratches on the body to the worn-in feel of the neck to the aged hardware, this bass shows the marks of an instrument that has earned its stripes out on the road. Check out the unique tone and amazing feel of the Justin Meldal-Johnsen Road Worn Mustang Bass.
Highlights:

30"-SCALE NECK WITH 9.5” FINGERBOARD RADIUS
This classic short scale makes it easier to comfortably reach the lower frets while maintaining Fender's punchy bass sound. The 9.5”-radius fingerboard offers enough arc to provide a natural fret-hand feel.

CUSTOM-SPEC MUSTANG BASS PICKUP
A major part of the sound, look and appeal of this bass is its custom-spec single-coil Mustang Bass pickup, voiced as closely to his vintage original as possible.

ROAD WORN FINISH
This instrument features a Road Worn finish, granting it a cool, aged look and feel—like it has more than a few playing miles on it.

VINTAGE-STYLE HARDWARE
Channel the early days of Fender thanks to a vintage-style bass bridge with single-groove saddles for a classic look with plenty of stability and sustain.

AGED PEARL PICKGUARD
The Aged Pearl pickguard is an authentic '60s-era appointment; it adds a retro-cool vibe to this bass.

HIPSHOT "LOLLIPOP" TUNERS
An original-era element, designed for easy grip and turning power, "Lollipop" tuning machines get their name from the large, round button.
