Bass Guitar Fernandes Retrospect 5X (3-Tone Sunburst)

Fernandes Retrospect 5X (3-Tone Sunburst)

Back with a vengeance, this Fernandes classic still stands the test of time. Pro quality and features, yet inexpensive, this Maple-neck, Alder-body and vintage-style-pickup low end machine is set to rip any stage. Retrospect series models are all about bringing vintage concepts back to life and infusing them with modern Fernandes styling and tone. Retrospect 5X might look like a vintage Jazz Bass to an uneducated eye, but experienced bassists know that there`s a lot more to this five-stringer. Solid and double-cut body does feature offset waist, flat top and bolt-on neck joint. It is made of alder, as well, but this is where the similarities stop and Fernandes magic kicks in. Passive pickups on the top are installed in the J/J (single/single) configuration and are followed by a three-piece controls unit (volume/volume/tone). Neck on this model is made of maple and it`s equipped with a modern and fast contour in the back. Rosewood fingerboard on the top features 22 jumbo frets with dot inlays.
