Throughout a long career that started with hardcore punk and flourished first with Sunny Day Real Estate and then the Foo Fighters, there has really only been one main instrument for melodic yet hard-hitting bassist Nate Mendel—his 1971 Precision Bass. Fender now brings you the Nate Mendel P Bass, modeled after his beloved, battle-hardened instrument and sharing its subtly distinctive features, including the special body contours, extra-slim neck, lightly worn finish, powerful Seymour Duncan pickup and more.

For over 40 years we have stood proudly behind Fender. As an official Authorised Fender Dealer we have sold literally thousands upon thousands of Fender guitars and amplifiers dating back to the first Pink Paisley Telecaster in Australia. As an authorised Fender Service Centre, we take great care when it comes to repairing, servicing and setting up Fender guitars and amps. We are one of the leading advocates for the Fender Custom Shop range in Australia and we love being able to take customers on the journey of designing and receiving their custom-built dream guitar; the look in their eye when that beautiful instrument arrives is still one of the reasons we love what we do. We also pride ourselves on the incredibly close and personal relationship we have with Fender Music Australia (and the Fender Music Instrument Corp.) that extends to not only regular specialised training and updates for our devoted staff but also to personal invites for VIP tours of the Fender factories (in the US) and invites to see some of the greatest guitarists of all time including Bonnie Rait, Mick Thompson and Jim Root, to name just a few. Fender for life.
Here at Musos Corner, the things that matter to Musos, matter to us.
First, we stacked our store with a massive range of brands to suit every budget, then we filled our store with working Musos who are experts; guys and girls who are passionate about putting the right gear in your hands. We are proud of our independent Newcastle store since 1967, we love our gear, and we love getting you the right gear for your needs!
We like to think that's why we're the people's music store..... Find out more...
