Like my old Celica,only one previous owner. Sounds great thru a practice amp. Gig on Saturday so will see!!!

pikeman Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 All I got was a pair of socks. Happy birthday and a lovely bass (but will it keep your feet warm?) Quote

mikhay77 Posted July 23, 2012 Author Posted July 23, 2012 Probably the rosewood fret board was a giveaway, Its a Fernandes Fab-180. Still a very rare bass and as good a player as my other high end basses. Quote
Kiwi Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Was this the one on Ebay that sold for US$1500 recently? Quote

[/quote] I saw that one,no,its a guy from Leeds I got it from,with all the bits with it. Its mint,just tried the bass and treble outputs out the power supply,total Clarke sound! Quote
Kiwi Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Thats great to hear, congratulations! I was looking for one for a long time...at least until I got the opportunity to buy an Alembic. Quote

[/quote] Lucky man,always wanted one,obviously after seeing Mr Clarke.Gigged the bass on Saturday,it really does cut thru. Really happy with it.Would love to have a comparison against the real thing but it does have Alembic qualities I think. Really piano highs and massive tone and sustain,really nice neck and not too heavy. All in all a great player. Quote
