I know that Nate mendel of The Foo Fighters plays a Fender Precision Bass from 1971, or some copy of that bass anyway.The neck of that 71´bass was thinner than the normal/standard p-bass.
Does anyone know what kind of bass (new ones) who comes closest to that 71´bass!

Thanks

Fender is coming out with a Nate signature Bass sometime in January and will be built to the same specs. They have already taken apart his P for specs and pics.

From what I've read Nate plays Lakland basses nowadays.

As for his upcoming signature Fender P-Bass, I believe it's essentially a modded Candy Red American Special with a SD BassLines SPB-3 split-coil humbucking pickup and a HMV bridge.

The Nate Mendel signature bass was supposed to come out in January. Does anyone know if/why it is delayed? Is it still going to be released?
