zomnius Posted October 18, 2014 Share 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.

ash Posted October 19, 2014 Share 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.

zomnius Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 and sold to a kind Basschat member. So this beautiful fat responsive bass, ideal for doublethumping, jazz and strumming is sold. awaiting for the usual. O yes, i put it next to m alembic series 1 the other day and it stands out very good to it indeed. Even the q filters pay off. The finish of the alembic is a bit better. But the fernandes is a superb bass made to exact specs i must say. cheerz gents, Zom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
