  1. Tonci was superb. Sent me a quick email about my Nate Mendel bass and even helped me sort out the postage. He even offered to give me more towards postage after we'd agreed on a price as it had turned out to be more expensive (I refunded him as he was being too nice [size=4] ). Bass arrived and he let me know straight away. All I can say is he's such a nice guy and I hope to deal with him again someday. [/size] [size=4]Tonci, thanks for being a pleasure to deal with. Enjoy your new bass.[/size] [size=4]Thanks, Grant.[/size]
  2. I think it is indeed Agave Blue. I checked fender.com on wayback machine and that was the only blue available on the MIM standard series in 2002. Thanks, I try to show as many pics as possible. I do the same when I put stuff on Ebay too. I tend to find it lets people see exactly what they're buying. Plus if it were me I'd feel more at ease seeing as much as I could on what I was looking to buy, especially when I can't see it in person. Good to know people notice the effort

  4. Sold to the gentleman above [size=4] [/size]
  5. Hi tom1946. I got my trusty Stew Mac gauge out and it comes in at a fraction over 2mm at the 12th fret on the bass side. Not sure of you can tell from the picture. Hope this helps. [IMG]http://i444.photobucket.com/albums/qq170/ferengo/Instruments/Fender%202012%20Precision%20Bass%20Nate%20Mendel/2014-09-01192638_zpsc2fbf6c7.jpg[/IMG] Thanks, G.
  6. I know what you mean. I looked at the previous prices they've gone for on here and some have met £550! Considering Fender have stopped putting the Badass bridges on their models I'm wondering if the models that have them will go up in value in the future? Only time will tell I guess.
  7. Hi tom1946. Not sure but once I'm home from work I'll get it checked and post the result up. Also if anyone needs the weight then it's 9lbs on my bathroom scales. Thanks, G.
  8. Monday bump. Also thanks for the nice comments and all PM's have been replied to. Still for sale.
  9. [quote name='Byo' timestamp='1409098463' post='2536372'] Amazing pics mate. Thanks. I have a photo studio at work I can use so it helps. These P-Bass are really cool... Slim neck, Candy Apple Red colour, Badass and a Quarter Pounder p/up. What's not to like? Btw, how would you compare it to the Mark Hoppus sig. bass? Same p/up but I'm guessing different sound due to the body wood. GLWTS! [/quote] Yeah they are killer basses. Like I said I prefer my Hoppus bass, also my P-Bass special is Candy Apple Red with a Badass bridge. So I have the slim neck badass combo covered, plus my special has been through a few gigs with me. I find the Nate Mendel resonates more. Both have Ash bodies or at least the newer Hoppus basses do. There is a difference in tone, I think the Nate has more treble on tap and hits different frequencies than the Hoppus does but you can roll the tone down to tame it if you need to. The string through on the Hoppus means you get the mass from the body on the Hoppus, so a Badass isn't needed for that though I do like the feel and look of a badass. I'd say they are similar in some ways. Both play great but feel VERY different. The Nate is easier to play. The Hoppus is a beast in the weight department 11+ pounds!!! The Nate is very light. If I didn't already have my P-bass special I'd be keeping this. Forgot to say I'm based in Dundee.
  10. Thanks Mark II, I try my best [size=4] [/size]

  12. I've got an appointment to have a mould made this Sat. Decided with ACS. Plus if you go through Boots hearing you can get a discount.
  13. That's good to know. I hadn't thought about them maybe only doing it so little.
  14. A couple of years ago I bought 10 sets of D'addario guitar strings on Ebay. When they arrived they looked good but upon opening a pack they were clearly fake. I did the whole check the serial number thing which brought up another totally different pack (although all 10 sets had the same serial number). I followed their online form etc... for reporting it. I got an email back apologising and asking for any information. I provided a link to the Ebay page, Paypal transaction and Ebay case ref. Another email came back saying thanks, confirming my address and that they would send out a little thank you for helping. What arrived was a 10 pack of D'addarios to replace the fake ones I'd got. Also I'm aware D'addario patrol Ebay as I changed my guage and sold some packs online. One custom who bought a pack was one of the people I dealt with at D'addario in the past. So this company does look out for their customers in more ways than one. Glad you had a good experience with them too. Top company in my book.
  15. From what I saw a lot of bigger Boots stores do the moulding. You just buy the plugs, get a voucher, make an appointment at the closest store, then they send them off the ACS to be made into custom plugs for you.
