The neck of the Fernandes RB 80 is crafted from high-quality maple, providing strength and stability, while the rosewood fingerboard offers a smooth playing experience. The combination of these materials not only enhances playability but also contributes to the bass's rich sustain and warm tone.

Perfect Japanese copy

Fernandes RB-80 it's Japanese early eighties copy of Rickenbacker 4001. Probably this is one of the best 4001 copies on market and has the same with Rick specificacion. Beautiful neck(through body) with triangle inlays, twin truss rods, and same system with two output jacks for stereo sound. I bought black(Jetglo) Fernandes RB-80 in good condition for 500$ and spent extra 80$ for installing of new frets. Guitar was in all original conditions and had some scratches.
