Fernandes Gradual Bass Rare Model 2009
Fernandes Gradual
Active circuit equipped, retail price ¥66,000 (tax included)

Fernandes, which reigned as the king of the 1980s-90s.
ZO-3, X Japan, GLAY, BUCK-TICK, JUDY AND MARRY, Tomoyasu Hotei, Janne Da Arc, etc...

The company's bankruptcy in 2024 sent shockwaves, as these legendary artists who symbolized the early Heisei era all loved and used them on stage.

This is a mid-class model from 2009.
It's an active bass with an alder body and an original preamp called TC-9800.
Although it was a time when the market shifted to high-end, metal-oriented brands like ESP and Ibanez, I believe Fernandes produced much better instruments in the ¥50,000-¥100,000 class than Grassroots or Bacchus Univers.

It is very easy to play, and while simple, it is a beautiful model with curved lines and a subtle pearl white shimmer.

While it's typical of the era that it wasn't noise-cut, the alder, also used by Fender, provides a strong mid-range presence and smooth low-end, making it a masterpiece that fully utilizes its thick tone!

Scratches: 2-3 minor dents that are not noticeable (body end, back, near the truss rod cover)
The rest of the condition is excellent, and subjectively, I would consider it in beautiful condition.
