Vintage 1990's Fernandes FRB-45M Medium Scale Bass Gotoh Tuners Made in Japan

Up for sale is a Fernandes FRB-45M medium scale bass from the 1990s, in very good working condition.

The FRB-45M is a compact and lightweight medium scale bass designed for excellent playability and comfort.

A medium scale bass features a 32-inch (812.8mm) scale length, which is approximately 5cm shorter than the standard 34-inch long scale bass (such as Jazz Bass or Precision Bass types).
This shorter scale provides reduced string tension and a more comfortable playing feel.

Key Features:
Medium Scale (32” / 812.8mm)
Compact and lightweight body
Slim, easy-to-play neck
Nut width: approx. 40mm
Equipped with high-quality Gotoh tuners

The Gotoh tuners provide excellent tuning stability and reliability.

Playability & Design:
While medium scale basses are often recommended for players with smaller hands or those seeking a lighter instrument,
they are also an excellent choice for players who want enhanced playability and technical control.

The FRB-45M features a smaller body size and reduced weight, making it ideal for long playing sessions.

Its body shape is inspired by the popular Spector-style design that became widely recognized in the mid-1980s,
offering both ergonomic comfort and a modern look.

This bass is a great option for players looking for something more comfortable than a traditional long scale bass,
without sacrificing tone and versatility.

Please check the video for detailed condition.
Please understand I would like disassemble the neck and body for safety shipping.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
