Nate mendel signature bass

[Musicman20]

Funny how when Krist plays bass on Should Have Known, it's dead obvious and crazy aggressive.

Huge picture, sorry! No idea how to make it smaller. There's the Chris Shiflett sig tele too, looks nice...

I rather like both of those

[Doddy]

The specs are now on the Fender site

Yeah.....so.....err....it's another P-Bass

[Dingus]

This thing is basically a Steve Harris Signature P Bass with a narrower nut width and overall slimmer neck dimensions. Looks like a good prospect to me. I like it.

[NJE]

NICE! I used to hate the idea of artificially relic'd instruments but I really have come around to the idea and this looks great. A nice vintage tint to the neck and I Iove the 70's Fender logo, just a cool bass.

At the end of the day, it is just another Fender Precision but its a nice colour and a good spec with the SD quarter punder and the badass. I presume its mexican made like the Road Worn stuff? if so I think they will be fantastic and a nicer neck profile for those that cant get on with the huge 50's precisions they currently make.

I would still like to see them do something a bit more radical though.....

Why sell a new thing when you can sell something you already have for the same amount of money and people keep coming back for more.

i like it. do we know cost yet?

[AndyTravis]

I'm thinking I may get one of these and drop a shell pickguard on it and a chrome cover.

Would look cool and remove it from the foos connection a little bit.

[Darkstrike]

Like that it makes P's with slim necks more accssible for people. Not a clue who that guy is though.

[jezzaboy]

Right, where`s me credit card. I like it. Lots!

[Musicman20]

Not mad on the colour, bridge or pickup choice!

Cool idea to him a sig bass though

[cocco]

Is it just a fender badged Duck Dunn?

So......you're not a fan then?

[bigsmokebass]

I like it but yet another Fender Mexican Artist model . . . . Whatever happened to letting the Japs continue thier beautiful guitars?
Ain't ever heard a bad word from the Marcus Millers, Geddy Lee's and Sting basses. . . Mexicans I can hold a lot against, unfortunately

On close inspection, I'm surprised to see Nate playing, maybe an American copy of his "signature" bass. . . I'll let you decide
(Pictures from Merchant City Music and from the official Fender website)

Take note of the headstock and signature.

I believe that he's been using Fender Custom Shop versions of his original Precision
for a while.
It's not uncommon for Artists to play custom versions of their signature instruments.

[Fuzzbass2000]

I'm digging that neck and the nitro thing. Need to see the colour up close and personal.... but seems like a decent package if it's close to the roadworn's in quality.

I think it`s mentioned on the clip he did for Fender about the P bass. The custom shop built one for him as he didn`t want to take the original on the road in case anything happened to it and it was a better bass than his original.

[jezzaboy]

It`s actually a decent price when you compare it to the Standard

Standard £445

Nat M £665

The NM has a baddass, SD pickup and Fender marked tuners, gig bag and nitro finish. All in all, well worth it.

If you like The Foos/Nate of course

Wow, £665?! That seems like cheap price!

On a more basic level I hate the music of the Foo Fighters. It has the safey safe production values of Christian rock, the dynamic range of paint drying and the actual emotion and meaning that only minted 40+ guys dressing 20 years too young for their age can attest to. It doesn't help that the only people I know who listen to the Foo Fighters couldn't pick out good music if it was hitting them on the head with a hammer. Want a vaguely punkish AOR playing in the background? Go with the Foos.

Now be fair, the first couple of albums were great...

[Flex]

Well I just put my deposit down on one... good price I say!!!!!

[stinson]

Looks just like my modded mid 70's p. Thats a great price for what looks like a really nice bass.
