Fernandes retrospect 5 string jazz bass

[narud]

another 5 string from the vaults. its a fernandes retrospect 5 that is basically a 5 string jazz with slightly different styling.
heres a clip running through all the classic fender sounds,
some marcus slap(both pickups dimed), some jaco(bridge solo'd), some rocco (neck pickup solo'd), and slave (both pickups dimed). strings are super, duper old so dont expect too much modern zing.

covers all the sounds on a budget.

225 shipped via usps first class mail.

this guy is actually 17.5 mm at the bridge. similar to a stingray 5. however, the neck at the heel is wider than a stingray 5 so you dont have to worry about pulling the g string off of the neck.

my digital bathroom scale only goes in half pound increments and its registering at 9 pounds. so its definitely under 9.5, but could be a little over 9.

Ooops. what was i thinking, me and 19mm string spacing don't get along.
17.5mm, no wonder it's so dang comfortable to play,Bump.

My main bass, after plenty of comparisons, is a defretted retrospect--it's a great bass (also quite a platform for modification). Good luck with the sale.
