Looks like a new series, no info on the web. Im thinking about buying a budget bass to bang around. Being blue is a big plus. It has pawlonia body (??) and ceramic pickups designed by Alan Entwistle.

What you guys think about a Trace Elliot Elf + epifunky 1x12 (150w) or 1x15 (200w)? Both have tweeter

Another option would be a trace Elliot elf + epifunky 1x12 or 1x15 cab

Hello fellow Brazilians! Ampeg ba115 seems to be a good option. I like what I heard on YouTube. Also good the know about the reality of class d amps here. I usually play with a j with rounds or a p with flats, depending on the set list. I’ve been favoring the j lately. Guy that said the rumble...

Just found a nemesis by Eden nc200 from the the 90’s. Cheaper than the ones I’m considering. 200w, 2x10 combo Doing a research on this one…

Last weekend I played a gig that had a rumble 200. Really liked the tone, but here it costs almost 2x the rumble 100 or the peavey. Not a lot of info about the peavey online. As a former guitar player, I’m finding a lot harder to have an opinion about bass gear on YouTube. Maybe I’ll wait for...

Thanks for the input! You think the rumble 100 would be enough for my needs? How about the tone?

Hello! I’ve been playing bass for 5 years after playing guitar most of my life. I have a small amp that I use at home, but for rehearsals and gigs I use whatever is available. I play in a jazz (fusion? Don’t know exactly what we are) trio (guitar, bass and drums) and volume is usually kept under...

Is it an easy job? I usually setup my basses, but never done something like this.

Ok, got the bass and spent the last 2 hours tinkering and playing. Luthier finished evaluating the neck. Needs fret leveling, but has 2 frets that are really low (probably a fret sprout that got leveled instead of hammered in place). Maybe will need a full refret soon. Truss rod is maxed and...

Yeah, Fernandes are great. I used to have a Fernandes strat from 78 that I foolishly sold a few years back. It was in pristine condition, played like a dream. Sold it to fund a fender am std strat that I never bonded with. I even contacted the buyer offering to buy it back, but he said no. When...

Thanks, it is indeed a nice bass Doing more research I’ve found vintage fender bass bodies are thinner than modern production. Maybe that’s why this one is also thinner. And good to know about the tuners. Looks like they don’t sell it individually. So, if anyone has a spare and is willing to sell…

Just received an old beat up Fernandes today. Upon arrival it had a lot of fret buzz, so I left it with a luthier I trust to evaluate the neck. Neck is fine, just a few high frets. Truss rod works fine, bass is in playable condition. Also very light (didn’t weight it, but certainly lighter than...

Hey guys Looking to buy this bass. It’s a 78 Fernandes. I’ve had a strat from the same year and that’s the instrument I regret the most for selling. I’ll have to buy it without trying. The body is probably ash (or sen) and it has some black spots all over it. Anyone has an opinion on what could...

Man, this is amazing. Nothing like a bit of study to sort things out. Maybe one day I’ll get there.
