[QUOTE = "Zooberwerx, post: 24744981, miembro: 28695"] Tengo dos y le mando el repuesto a Carlos ... ¿¡¿cómo puedes librarte?!? Tenía módulos Audere Classic instalados en mis APB-5. Tenga en cuenta que las pastillas "J" también están activas y requieren 9 voltios si son originales. Solo necesita enganchar una caja de envío internacional de la oficina de correos de EE. UU.
Carlos: si tiene algún problema, comuníquese con el miembro de TB "walterw" ... él hizo todo el trabajo y puede ayudar a identificar las conexiones adecuadas.

Gracias amigo por toda su ayuda. Voy a intentar repararlo primero. Aquí en El Salvador es difícil conseguir circuitos Audere

Just replaced the stock Gotoh tuners on my Fernandes 6-string with Gotoh 350 Res-o-lites. Highly recommended.
Thanks. I have Hipshot Ultralights on my Warmoth Deluxe Jazz 5. I’ve really wanted to try the Gotoh Res-o-lites for some time. I’m really impressed. Also, everything lined up perfectly with no surprises. I weighed the stock tuners. They were 60 grams each. Not bad but the 350s are light as a feather and smooth. This may just be me patting myself on the back, but I would swear my bass now sounds better too.
The buttons are about 1/3 thicker and, if you look closely, you can see the mold marks on the outer margin. I like mine, especially the scalloped shape.

That's why you're not supposed to tear-off the el cheapo paper sticker...cuts the value in half. It's a keeper!
@feschyn : kinda looks like your's.
Riis
yes, I agree, but bought it without its sticker.
this is my bass many year ago, but I´m not that guy
Great video. Vocalist is playing in a giant mud puddle and I can't understand a word. Great bass...I have two of the APB5's. These were MIJ and the newer Fernandes offerings don't come close IMO.
Riis
Not a clue. IIRC, the designation had something to do with the target market (Japan) and there may be a difference in the hardware (...I have two very different bridge configurations). The preamp harness should be the same.
Certainly worthy of further investigation.

I can't believe how very little info there is on Fernandes stuff. I just bought an FRB-95 and was looking to educate myself on it. Does anyone here own an FRB-95? First off, the serial # starts with 05, MIJ, and I wondered if that indicates the date of production (2000 or 2005)? The available catalogues go skip from 2003 to 2007, so I can't see if the FRB-95 was still being produced in 2005, or whether it was the newer Gravity 5 from Korea. What year did manufacturing move from Japan to Korea? I was also curious (not that any of this really matters) what plant mine was built at. The best I could deduce from what I've found is that Fernandes had early production at Kawai, then moved to Tokai, and then back to Kawai before leaving Japan for Korea (don't know what year?). My guess is my Bass was made at the end of the Japan run, and then maybe mine was made by Kawai? If anyone has any insight I'd love to hear them. Thanks...
One for sale in local shop looks identical to yours not as good condition.. looks good though.
Don,t know much about these. Whats with the one pot is it volume or tone? what i have seen on you-tube its seems versatile with good sounds. What can you tell me? are the MIJ models stamped on the neck plate? Whats the difference between the MIJ and MIK ? Really want to know what I'm looking at. Thanks.
I "believe" as I don't have catalog access , 1984 MIJ , alder wood , 40.8mm or 1.6" nut ? , C-profile neck , Limited Edition series (this series were sold as cost effective model at the time) Strange as the quality was high !!! You can also join the Fernandes-Burny Facebook group - hit up admin Jon - he usually has all the catalogs -enjoy the bass PS this is not "The Revival" modelHi guys
Just scored this 1984 Fernandes limited edition p bass copy. Can any one share info on this model?
Thanx
