Fernandes 1990s PB-type Electric Bass Guitar - Bass Guitar Repair, Restoration, Modifications | Mark

I recently completed another guitar repair and restoration project. This particular project was on a 1990s Fernandes Precision (PB) type electric bass guitar. It took me a very long time to complete this particular repair and restoration project primarily because just about all of the guitar's hardware and electronics were not any good and needed replacements. It took me quite awhile to find all of the replacement parts. However, this bass guitar is now completely repaired and restored with some modifications. In fact, I believe this bass is possibly sounds and plays better than when it was brand new. I plan on keeping it for my personal use for the time being at least until I find a better PB-type of bass guitar with a passive pickup. Besides, it is the only Fernandes guitar that I currently own.

Here is a full description of this particular bass:Fernandes 1990s PB-type Electric Bass Guitar * Fernandes is a Japan-based music company * 1990s (date stamp on neck heel is DEC 21 1996) * Made in China (sticker removed) * Black gloss finish (some minor scratches and dents) * White single-ply pickguard (aged) * Chrome bridge (replacement) * Chrome tuning pegs (replacements) * Chrome control knobs (replacements) * Chrome strap buttons * Bolt on neck joint * Truss rod works (adjusted) * 1-3/8 inch nut width * 34 inch scale length (same as Fender basses) * Slim neck shape/profile (not thick) * 20 medium jumbo frets (leveled, crowned, polished) * P-style split-coil passive pickup (new) * 1 volume control (250k ohm pot replacement) * 1 tone control (250k ohm pot replacement) * 1 output jack (replacement)

Look at the photos in the gallery below of the condition of this particular bass guitar when I first rescued it. I originally found it marked as junk at a local secondhand store (recycle shop) here in Okinawa, Japan.
