Show the bass, get a number!

I almost bought the Atlas instead of my LEB Jazz, and still might. It's still available down at the mom and pop!!

Couldnt tell you about the Tremor or Gravity, but I would say you need to just go in, and plug 'em both in and see what strikes you.

If you search you will no doubt find a ton of threads about those two fine instruments.

I'll play.

My Fernandes is the five-string version of the OP's jazz (I believe that model is called the Retrospect), right down to the color. It had the same pickguard on it until I got a custom silver mirror job done (which is sweet, but doesn't photograph great). It's also heavily modded--new bridge (hipshot) and electronics (audere) and a fretless conversion. It was my only bass for 7 years, and I've played hundreds of shows on it. A real workhorse.

I had some people ask me about this bass in another thread. Well here she is. An older Fernades trans-grren acrylic. Has awesome inlays, EMG active pickups. It's not as heavy as most acrylic basses. This one just under 11 lbs.

From what little I can find out about it, this was made in the Fernandes Custom Shop in Japan. It's a one of a kind from what I'm told. Not another one like it out there (please let me know if my sources are incorrect). It was custom ordered from a Fernades dealer in Tokyo.

Craftsmanship is second to none. Neck pocket and all joints are TIGHT. All routes and holes are very precise. 3-piece maple neck, awesome fretwork, rolled edges on board, etc.

It's built like a boutique. Great time and care was taken when creating this baby. The factory case is custom molded to the shape of the body.

Behold!

Whoa, that's a Fernandes! And here I just assumed (in that other thread you mentioned) that it's a BC Rich.

Seriously nice bass. How's it sound?
