Product Description

Nate Mendel is best known for his work as the bassist in the Foo Fighters. Fender have collaborated with Nate to release a signature model based on his personal 1971 Precision Bass! With a special body contour, a slim C neck profile, a Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound pickup, a high-mass bridge, and a light Road Worn nitro finish, this isn’t your average P-Bass.

Body and Neck

The Nate Mendel P-Bass has an ash body with a unique contour on the back that’s deeper than you’d find on a standard P-Bass. P-Bass necks are known to be quite thick but the Nate Mendel version opts for a slimmer “C” that won’t fill the hand as much allowing you to play faster and move up and down the neck with more ease. The neck has a rosewood fingerboard for a smooth and natural feel and features a vintage-correct 7.25” radius.

The body and neck are finished in nitrocellulose lacquer that lets the wood breathe more and will age more gracefully than a polyurethane finish would. The bass has also been given a light Road Worn relic which has subtle marks and signs of age for a played-in look.

Electronics and Hardware

Nate Mendel has opted to put a Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound Precision Bass pickup in his signature model. The Quarter Pound has that classic full, thick, and warm sound that you’d expect from a P-Bass pickup but with a higher output for a tone more suited to rock. 

The Nate Mendel P-Bass also features a Fender HiMass bridge, 70s-style open-gear tuners, and comes with an extra neck plate that’s engraved with a hybrid of the Fender and Foo Fighters’ logos.

In a word awesome, i knew from my research this was a good instrument and for anyone worried about the mexican build, dont be. Everything from the ligthweight ash body, quality componants and the feel of the neck is just brilliant at this price, and the one thing i did not realise was that it has a nitro finish, ahh man, it looks and feels great, as they say this one is definately a keeper!
