No, in fact, that's the reason I have Player Piano there.

Applejack already had a bass before any of the shorts. She didn't get it in A Case for the Bass. There's a great chance AJ had the bass and had practiced using the bass before Granny sold it. She did, howvever, transform said bass during the short.

Originally, there were no apple designs on the bass, but when AJ ponies up in the shop, the apple designs appear on her bass. During Player Piano, these apple markings are not on her bass, meaning she couldn't have ponied up yet. A Case for the Bass had to have happened after Player Piano for this reason: AJ hasn't ponied up with her bass yet in Player Piano.
