I see that the price of the NM has risen to £674. Fender strike again!! Quote
AndyTravis Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 One's just arrived at my shop. Cannot fault it for the price; feels ace, looks amazing, and sounds great (if not a bit modern which is at odds with the feel, but it's his spec so I'm not saying its 'wrong' as such.) If you like Fenders, this is one to try, can't believe it for the asking price. Quote
Minty Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Very cool bass, especially for that price! The neck is kinda confusing me a bit though...it looks to be a similar relic'd Nitro finish to the Road Worn series but the specs say Urethane. Quote
KiOgon Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 [quote name='One Drop' timestamp='1353413556' post='1874679'] Hey, if the Foo shits, wear it. [/quote] great line nice one Quote
JapanAxe Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 [quote name='Damonjames' timestamp='1352481383' post='1863701'] The Nate sig is a p bass with some body contour mods and a p bass neck and nut width but with a "slim c" neck profile. [/quote] I used to be a 'slim c', but with the onset of middle-age spread, I am heading rapidly towards 'fat c' Quote
NoirBass Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 I had a quick bash on one today and was greatly impressed. Whilst it was heavier than my P, it felt solid and resonant. The tone was pure 70's Precision. Well worth a look I'd say. Quote
Fuzzbass2000 Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Anyone know who's got one in stock within striking distance of Wimbledon? Quote
bigsmokebass Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 just popped a £100 deposit on this to reserve it for the £650 pricing when it comes in + discount has anyone got one yet? BSB Quote

Fuzzbass2000 Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 A couple of weeks back but not recently. Quote
tedmanzie Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 i might be in there in the next couple of days, i'll take a look. Quote
dannybuoy Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1349123034' post='1822218'] Not mad on the colour, bridge or pickup choice! Cool idea to him a sig bass though [/quote] [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1357825483' post='1929005'] I want one. [/quote] Ah, the fickle nature of GAS! Quote
Musicman20 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 [quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1359632173' post='1957806'] Ah, the fickle nature of GAS! [/quote] HAHAH! The price point and upgrades seem good to me. Upgraded pups/bridge, and roadworn (ish)...but im guessing its not nitro finished? Quote
Lozz196 Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Blimey Nick, that was a stoke of luck, and, very decent of you to make that call. Quote
such Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Congrats! someone will have a surprisingly lightweight box delivered when they receive what's supposed to be their Nate Mendel bass Anyways - I read somewhere that the body of this bass is made of ash and finished with nitro. Is that the case? Quote
Graham Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 What's the neck like on this Nick? And do you know what pickups are in it? Quote
Musicman20 Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 It says laquer finish on the Fender site (I think). Quote
such Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 yeah, it says “lacquer”, which is a wide term... Quote
Graham Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 [quote name='Old Horse Murphy' timestamp='1359817990' post='1960724'] It's a very slim, quite shallow P Bass neck Graham. Very comfortable, but doesn't feel like a Jazz neck. It's more somewhere inbetween. The pickups are SD Quarterpounders but don't sound overly aggressive to me which suits me fine [/quote] Cheers, I'm really liking the sound of this, will have to look out for one try. Quote
AndyTravis Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 We had one of these for 3/4 days in my shop, and I was we'll impressed; great stuff from Fender. Think one is on my list of 'will probably end up with one' had my 77 in for a restring when it arrived, and the ageing (rather than relic or Roadworn) is really subtle. Loved the neck too. The lad who bought it did so purely on the merits of the bass rather than the NM connection, I assume many of these basses will sell on the spec rather than the association. Quote
