Nate Mendel Fender Signature

I saw this bass the other day and thought Fender gave me a Sig model.

every roadworn fender I've played has been a great bass, better than comparable stock MIM fenders. I wonder if they are being more selective about the wood.......

There is something about those bloody Roadworns that just grabs me every time I try one, it has to be the wood selection and maybe the way the necks are built.

Whatever it is I'm positive it's more than my imagination, and I've never really wanted to like them either. I was pleased at first to hear so many other experienced players agree with me, I thought I was going nuts.
