General
Foo Fighters bass guitarist, Nate Mendel’s extensive career has left a huge mark on modern alternative rock music. As a tribute, Fender have made a signature model bass guitar based on Mendel's personal 1971 Precision Bass. The Fender Nate Mendel P-Bass offers you the same subtle characteristics and distinctive features as the original and iss made in Mexico, so it is reasonably priced.
Fender Nate Mendel Precision Bass: A True Workhorse
Nate's own bass has some major modifications as well as traces of having been on the road and Fender has replicated these exactly. The ash body features a nitrocellulose lacquer finish with the Fender Road Worn treatment for a tough, aged look while the bolt-on maple neck has a 20-fret rosewood fretboard and is just 42 millimetres wide near the nut. The Fender Hi-Mass bridge offers a solid sustain and stability.
Powerful Quarter Pound pickup
The Nate Mendel Precision Bass is armed with a Seymour Duncan SPB-3 Quarter Pound pickup. This split single-coil has extra large magnets for a wider frequency range, creating a fat, full, punchy sound with a massive presence in the mids and a maximum output ideal for powerful sound, yet versatile enough for lighter work. As with all most Precision models, you get a no-fuss-needed tone and volume control pot to dial in your sound.
