Fender Nate Mendel Precision Bass Candy Apple Red

Description

FENDER NATE MENDEL PRECISION BASS CANDY APPLE RED

Throughout a long career that started with hardcore punk and flourished first with Sunny Day Real Estate and then with the Foo Fighters, there has actually only ever been one main instrument for the melodic yet incisive bassist Nate Mendel: his 1971 Precision Bass®. Fender now offers the Nate Mendel P Bass, modeled after his beloved, battle-scarred instrument and sharing its decidedly peculiar characteristics, including special body contours, an ultra-slim neck, a lightly worn finish, a mighty Seymour Duncan® pickup, and more.

Ash body with special shaping with light Road Worn® finish treatments

Maple neck with slimmer C-profile and F-stamped neck plate

Rosewood fretboard with 7.25" radius and 20 medium jumbo frets

Seymour Duncan® Basslines SPB-3 Quarter Pound™ Precision Bass split single-coil pickup

Additional neck plate engraved with a special Foo Fighters/Fender hybrid logo
