Lovely Nate Mendel signature p bass, roadworn finish, pro set up, with Fender gig back. As original no mods. Great sounding bass E6186D2D-5374-41A5-BFED-9500EA83C091.thumb.jpeg.8b41fa214954c6a92bb5046f0a6ada4b.jpeg606A772C-29CD-4D6B-A613-56BD474AB83F.thumb.jpeg.e388e5c4507dc760f70ca9bdd3adc798.jpeg

Absolutely mega basses these. I’d guess 4.1kg and 40mm nut

The weight varies - I’ve had two, both were heavier and I moved them on as a result. One was 4.5 it had the Badass on it and the second 4.3kgs with the high mass although I’ve heard that there are ones under the 4kgs mark.

Yeah I’ve had lots of these, never had a mega heavy one. 3.9-4.1 ish of the ones I can remember. Good basses. Think the later necks had reinforcements in as early models had a few issues. Not all of them but some.

Great basses these. I'm lucky enough to own a '71 from which these are based. my mate has a Nante Mendel and they are identical in feel. They got the neck spot on.

The Nut width is 40mm, the weight according to bathroom scales guesstimate is around 4 kg cannot be more accurate at present but it is a light bass. I got it so that I did not have to bear the weight of my 78 pbass on 2 hr shows.I will get hold of some suitcase scales to take a more accurate measurement of weight

Metallic red and black. My fav. combo. Man, will be tough to resist this one.

How old is it?

Do you have some more photos that show the relic finish a bit better? Would be cool. Cheers.

I have no idea of age it came to me second hand, is there a way to determine age on these ?

Throw the serial number into the Fender serial number decoder. That should give you a year. 😁

On the back of the headstock, underneath the G string tuner is a serial number. You can see it in your first photo but it is too blurred to read.

The serial number looks something like this: "MX19003133". The first two digits following "MX" (which stands for "Made in Mexico") tell you the year the bass was made in. 

 

As mentioned, a few more photos, especially showing the finish better (some are more reliced, some less and I am more interested in the less reliced ones) would be helpful.

Thanks, unfortunately, one hour too late. Just bought another metallic red P bass here on BC. Hope someone will go for this beauty. GLWTS 👍

Any news on the serial number?

Must be better resolution on your machine than mine. 😆

 

More squinting and extrapolating a best guess tbh.

Cool - thanks. Looks like December 2015, with the Fender copy of the Badass. Is it just the photo or is there a shim in the neck pocket?
