Fernandes 'Revolver' FRB 70 Bass (IT Dec 86)

muzines.co.uk

The Fernandes FRB-70 Bass showcases excellent craftsmanship, featuring a sleek jet-black finish and a surprisingly comfortable, compact body. Its slim neck design may polarize players, but those who prefer narrower profiles will find it a dream to play. The active pickups deliver impressive versatility without excessive noise, making it a solid choice for both live and studio settings. However, the hardware is somewhat basic for its price point, which might leave some players wanting more sophistication. Overall, the FRB-70 is a well-made instrument that stands out for its sound and playability, though its price may feel steep compared to competitors.
