zomnius Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 (edited) Hey friends, Really superb rare Fernandes FAB 180 (Series I Point bass ) Fantastic state, super woods (zebrano maple etc), case, power supply (rare!!!) inc case Very very good sounding bass. I have a new build, so this baby has to go.

Love to play it even without amping this, when the kids r asleep. It has pretty new rotosounds on it and a set of new batteries. Yes it also is stereo. You need a stereo plug. But I have a special cable for it between bass and power supply. Very nice vintage (31 years old) bass!!!! superb state. Edited October 18, 2014 by zomnius

ash Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) Yep another Akkerman fan here so him at Kendal Brewery Arts great gig, great players. He was hiding behind his amp having a fag and blaming the ciggy smoke on the valves cooking - great character I spoke to him afterwards and he even signed my Focus CD. Edited October 19, 2014 by ash
