Fernandes FPB-65 Power Bass 1970s Precision Bass (MIJ)

Fernandes FPB-65 Power Bass 1970s

A totally badass time capsule from the late 70s, this absolutely pristine Power Bass has all the 70s tone and vibe you could want from a P bass complete with original covers and a (possibly) original wooden thumb rest. The rock hard maple neck on this one is super duper comfy with the smaller Jazz style nut width, the tone is bright and spanky from the original split coil pickup and let's be honest, it just looks so good. 

In amazing condition for it's age, this bass has obviously been tucked away for a very long time, a true closet classic. The frets are low (we're talking fretless wonder), however this appears to be factory as there are no dents or signs of excessive playwear - low frets are characteristic of 70s instruments and make the feel very slinky. We've upgraded the jack socket to a USA Switchcraft and given the bass a full setup.
