Fernandes Overstock Sale

[Obese Chess]

Just a heads up for those of you who like these guitars (I have two of their basses from the 90's and they're probably my go-to four-strings), they're having a MASSIVE overstock sale right now.

Some of their entry-level stuff is in the sub-$200 range, which is about $150-$300 off.

Some of the higher-end stuff is in the $700 range, which is about $400-$600 off. (The Tremor 5 Deluxe, for examples, retails for about $1150, MSRP is $1700, currently going for $699).

"Once in a lifetime" apparently means "once a year" to Fernandes -- they ran exactly this same sale last year, at more or less exactly these prices, and I'd lay odds that they'll run it again next year. I snagged a Tremor 5X last year, which is a real bargain at $199, and has me GASing a little for that Tremor Deluxe.

what is the string spacing like on their 5?

Pretty sure it is 18mm centers, but there looks like there is room on the neck to modify with a 19mm bridge.

I have two of what would become the Gravity from the 90's and they're the best basses I own and among the best I've played at any price range.

How's the B on the Tremor? Looking at the Gravity or Tremor 5X.

I've been pleasantly surprised with the Fernandes JG-65 that I picked up recently. The sustainer is fun to mess around with and since it's not terribly expensive, I don't mind if it gets knocked around a bit.
