Rayman Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 [i]Spectacular[/i] basses these. I had a cheaper forerunner of this bass, an APB-5, and it was pure magic. This one must be sublime.

7_days Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Do you know string spacing ? (I shouldn't ask !)
PauBass Posted October 14, 2012 Author Posted October 14, 2012 [quote name='7_days' timestamp='1350217022' post='1835822'] Nice one, really lovely. [/quote] It really is a lovely bass, thanks. [quote name='7_days' timestamp='1350217268' post='1835823'] Do you know string spacing ? (I shouldn't ask !) [/quote] String spacing, I believe is 17mm, strings are a tiny little bit closer than one my jazz bass
7_days Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Good news. I'm searching for my first 5 strings and have a preference for smaller spaces. Two more questions, just for information for now... Would you send it in France ? And, where was this beauty built ?

mattbass6 Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 I would love to mate but I'm not going to insult you for such an amazing bass. I would be way off the mark I'm afraid but thank you so much
mattbass6 Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 Sorry to bother you again mate, I'm just curious at to 1) where these were built and 2) the string spacing on these as well. If I had the cash, this would be mine now. The only bass on BC I keep coming back to look at. Good luck and I really hope someone buys this soon for you and for me
PauBass Posted November 13, 2012 Author Posted November 13, 2012 I have just measured it up and the string spacing is 17.5 mm, strings are a bit closer than on my Fender Jazz bass 4
jeelro Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 Hi, Sorry for this question but I need to know the weight of your Fernandes Gravity bass before buying one ! In France some people that have it told me it's less than 4kg, but @ fernandes they give 6kg... If you can weight it and tell me, it would be nice ! Or even send me a photo of that, it would be perfect ! See you, Julian
