Burny (Fernandes) Jazz Bass Type - Script Logo - Likely 1970s - 3-Tone Sunburst - Vintage - Player Grade(25A016)
🎬 Video walkthrough available — see the last slide of the photo gallery.
A Burny by Fernandes Jazz Bass type with the script logo, believed to date from the 1970s (exact year unknown). Alder body, maple neck and maple fingerboard: punchy, woody 70s tone with plenty of attack. Priced as a player-grade / project vintage bass — please read the condition notes. CONDITION — graded honestly (Fair) - FRETS: approx. 40% remaining. It plays and intonates fine right now with the current setup, but the next fret job will need to be a REFRET rather than a level-and-crown. Some buyers convert these to fretless — this would be a great candidate. - Finish has sun fading, scratches and play wear consistent with a 50-year-old instrument. - Neck is straight (0.3 mm relief at the 7th fret) and the truss rod works freely in both directions with plenty of range. - Electronics fully tested, no issues. SPECS - Brand/Model: Burny (Fernandes) Jazz Bass type, script-logo era, 1970s - Finish: 3-Tone Sunburst - Body: Alder / Neck: Maple / Fingerboard: Maple - Pickups: S-S (Jazz Bass layout), 2 volume / 1 tone - Weight: 5.31 kg (11.7 lbs) SETUP & SHIPPING - Cleaned and set up: truss rod, action, intonation and pickup height adjusted.
