Help with a yard sale find.

[ErikD]

Hey all,

I picked up a 5 string today at a yard sale along with some other gear. I was hoping to get some help identifying exactly what it is. I only paid $50 for it, so I really cant loose. It was pretty beat up but nothing I can't fix. The knobs were half falling off, the truss rod needs some serious adjustment, and one of the potentiometers needs to be re-soldered. Again, all stuff I can handle np.

I was told it was a Fernandes Gravity, and after looking online, it appears to be a Gravity 5 Deluxe, however there are some significant differences from what I can find online. Below are hopefully all the pictures anyone would need to help identify exactly what it is. The pre is a tc-9500, it also has dual FGI active pickups.

I'm thinking it was an early model Gravity 5 Deluxe? I really have no idea and it could very well be a knock off or a Frankenstein build or something. As far as re-wiring the one potentiometer, does anyone have any insight or a schematic for the tc-9500? If not I guess I will resort to soldering the three leads (last pic) to the potentiometer in the same pattern as the other tone knob. Hoping someone can help, thanks in advance!

disconnect the battery before you solder anything

A bass for $50 is a score; this one moreso because it's the right color!

Buenas tardes, he comprado un bajo eléctrico Fernandes apb 5. El que está en la foto de perfil, y tiene malo el circuito eléctrico, le falta un potenciómetro. Seria tan amable de enviarme fotos del sistema eléctrico de su bajo?

Good afternoon, I bought a Fernandes apb 5 electric bass. The one in the profile photo, and the electrical circuit is bad, it is missing a potentiometer. Would you be so kind as to send me photos of the electrical system of your bass?
