Hutton Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 (edited) I have for sale a months old all original Fender 'Nate Mendel' Precision Bass. I bought this bass new from GuitarGuitar in Glasgow in May of this year. There is plenty of information online and on youtube regarding these basses. They have been very favourably received as being one of the best to come out of the Mexican factory. The road worn look is just about right in my opinion. This is a great bass and will make someone very happy. The weight of the bass is 8lbs/3.6kgs. The bass will be supplied with the Fender Gig Bag which has not been used. I even have the Fender box that it came in! If a hardcase is preferred then I can supply one of the latest Fender Moulded cases (Red Handle Version) for £60 which is offered at a daft price if a potential customer is interested. The bass has been kept in the hardcase since new. All tags, manuals, and allen keys are included in the sale. The alternative 'FF' neck plate is also included. I am asking £650 plus shipping for the bass. This represents a substantial saving on the new price. Considering this bass is practically new and has never out of the house then a bargain awaits someone. I am not looking for any trades. Specification:- Body: Ash Finish: Nitrocellulose Lacquer Neck: Maple. Rosewood fingerboard (Radius 7.25"). Slim "C" profile (based on Nate Mendel's '71' precision). 34" Scale. 20 Medium Jumbo Frets. Synthetic Bone Nut (Width 1.615") Pickup: Seymour Duncan SPB-3 Quarter Pounder Bridge: Fender HiMass with Chrome-Plated Zinc Saddles Tuners: Fender 70s Vintage-Style stamped open gear. Pickguard: 3-ply black. The following photographs were taken in direct sunlight and in the shade to give an idea of colour variation. There is also a photo taken inside with the bass in the case and with flash. The colour is Candy Apple Red.

Quatschmacher Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Is this bass still currently in Glasgow? The Nate Mendel model I tried was at Glasgow Guitar Guitar a few years ago and it was amazing and I regret not buying it. (Paul who works there was a great person to deal with and talk Bass with.) I'm guessing that this isn't that one though as I'm sure they've sold a few since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't intend to buy a bass that day but when I played this bass it blew me away. The serial number shows it to be a 2015 instrument so I suppose it is possible it could be the bass you tried. I have a family wedding coming up which needs some major finance so some of my basses have to go. My loss will be somebody's gain.

The only problem is that I'm officiating.😇 My son is marrying a great girl from Rwanda. We met her family this year in Africa and they are coming over for the wedding next month. As for the 'Nate Mendel' - it is a cracking bass. I think you need it in your flock!👍 If I don't sell it then I won't mind at all. It'll just mean the wedding band won't get hired!😃 Edited September 15, 2017 by Hutton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
