Fender Nate Mendel P Bass

I had this Bass recommended while looking for a P-Bass. I was told it was a quality bass for a very competitive price. I was not let down!

Although it's a Mexico-made Fender, which usually suggest "Budget"-Fenders, this one certainly packs a punch. Competes with numerous more expensive Fender American-made P-Basses.

- The Seymour Duncan Pickups cut nicely through the mix. Although they're slightly higher output, they still deliver a good fat and warm P-Bass sound.
- The neck is good! Fret-work seems high quality. It did require a setup after delivery though.
- The finish is stellar if you're into relic finishes. Much of the dents are tastefully added and not overdone. The nitrocellulose lacquer really sells the illusion of it being a vintage instrument. To truly experience it, you'll need to see it in real life, the pictures hardly justifies it.

The only negative thing about this bass, is it's bundled gig-bag. If you plan on gigging, make sure you get a quality gig-bag.
