Throughout a long career that started with hardcore punk and flourished first with Sunny Day Real Estate and then the Foo Fighters, there has really only been one main instrument for melodic yet hard hitting bassist Nate Mendel his 1971 Precision Bass. Fender now brings you the Nate Mendel P Bass, modeled after his beloved, battle hardened instrument. The Nate Mendel P Bass shares the same subtly idiosyncratic and distinctive features as the original, with special body contours, extra slim neck and nut width, a lightly worn Candy Apple Red finish with a black pick guard, a powerful Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound split single coil pickup, Badass II bridge for rock solid sustain and stability, and Mendel's signature on the headstock. It also comes with a spare neck plate engraved with a special hybrid Foo Fighters/Fender logo and a deluxe gig bag. Tour bus and platinum records not included.
