Strife34 Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 Hey BassChat, My friend brought the bass you can see beneath for £50 from our local music shop, it has a stunning tone to it considering it only has P bass pickups. I'm not too sure what it is, its 3/4 scale and I've seen a Fernandes Bass that is VERY similar to this any experts that can help me figure what is it? Cheers for the help guys Quote
Bassassin Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 Looks way too "budget" to be a Fernandes - they have done some nice shortscales but this isn't ringing any bells for me. However you'll find a pretty comprehensive archive of Fernandes catalogues between 1973 & 2009 [url="http://www.fernandes.co.jp/others/catalog/list.html"]here[/url] - might be worth a look (if you've got a spare afternoon!) just to make sure. Jon. Quote
hillbilly deluxe Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) That looks to be a cheap 80's Encore short scale to me.I think that Tanglewood did one as well,called the elf,or something like that.I also doubt that it's a Fernandes. Edited February 24, 2011 by hillbilly deluxe Quote
robocorpse Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 They saw him coming, unfortunately. I think these were only about 69 quid RRP. Quote

P bass pickups can sound just as awesome/terrible as any other IMHO. Other than that I can't really add to what the others have said. Stick some new pickups in there when you get a chance and maybe turn it into a bit of a project bass. Quote
