bassix Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) Just wanting to test the waters to assess interest but I have a brand new Nate Mendel P available. This is a fender replacement for my last one which encountered an issue with the neck so has been shipped to the shop, setup and given to me. Comes with the deluxe gig bag and the Foo Fighter neck plate. Weighs in almost dead on 4kg so about 8.8lbs. These are sold for around £749 currently so £149 off seems fair given its never been played. Would be interested in precision-like trades, preferably on the lighter and slimmer necked side. As this is yet to be taken through its paces in the studio cannot guarantee I will sell at this point. Pictures to follow this evening. Edited August 4, 2015 by bassix
karlfer Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 These were a slimmer 40 mm nut width, between standard J and P, have they changed as not many P's have a slimmer nut? The one I had was a damn good bass!
njr911 Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Do these still have actual Badass bridges or a Fender version?
jezzaboy Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 [quote name='njr911' timestamp='1434625346' post='2801259'] Do these still have actual Badass bridges or a Fender version? [/quote] The new ones have a Fender bridge but it is similar to the Badass. Great basses, just got myself one.
bassix Posted June 18, 2015 Author Posted June 18, 2015 This one has the fender bridge, visually is pretty similar. No jazz basses I'm afraid, it's taken 10 years but I've realised I only need a precision!

MB1 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 MB1. Please Note... Any trades/offers/Bartering etc Need to be done by PM and not posted on the sellers ad as they will be removed. Thanks Martin.
bassix Posted June 20, 2015 Author Posted June 20, 2015 Took this through its paces at practice on Thursday and feels like a good 'un. The balance is spot on with a nice aggressive tone coming from the SPB3's. I have another practice with my other band tomorrow where a final decision will be made on its future. In the meantime, keep the offers coming, I'm particularly partial to a Yamaha BB series..
bassix Posted June 21, 2015 Author Posted June 21, 2015 Another successful practice with the new bass, I'd like to try something new though so lets have a little price drop to £575.
AndyTravis Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) My Nate Mendel has seen many changes, the one factor which hasn't changed is how it feels. They are, and at this price particularly, superb versions of precision basses. Edited June 24, 2015 by AndyTravis
bassix Posted June 25, 2015 Author Posted June 25, 2015 Couldn't put it any better myself, a slim necked precision for not much cash.
bassix Posted June 29, 2015 Author Posted June 29, 2015 A couple of nice offers on the table at the moment but ideally after the cash to go towards something else on here. Final offers please ladies and gentlemen.
Hank Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 I keep thinking about trying one of these as I've been playing guitar more recently and I'm now starting to find the neck on my usa p a bit too thick but a jazz is still too narrow. Have a bump while I keep thinking.
bassix Posted July 20, 2015 Author Posted July 20, 2015 Okay, final price drop to £500. I know this is getting cheap as this is around what shops are offering me for the bass in P/X. Still interested in trades, modern US maple necked precisions of the fender variety especially but also other similar styled/toned beasts considered with money your way.
bassix Posted July 24, 2015 Author Posted July 24, 2015 I'm at home this weekend for the first time in weeks so I'll give this free delivery in the UK to celebrate. If nothing happens this weekend then it will probably be traded with a shop but would rather keep it in the Basschat sphere if possible.
bassix Posted August 1, 2015 Author Posted August 1, 2015 Trade has fallen through on this so up we go! Happy to consider trades for Stingrays, precisions, preferably with maple necks.
njr911 Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 I still fancy a NM but my wife would kill me seeing as I bought a US P 2 months ago
bassix Posted August 3, 2015 Author Posted August 3, 2015 Haha, I guess I'm quite lucky, Mrs Bassix is very supportive of my bass conquests!
