The story

A Japanese 1978 Fernandes FPB-60YS from the early Stone Logo period, serial 82803. The Yellow Sunburst finish and model code match the period catalogue, which lists the FPB-60YS at ¥60,000. It specifies a sen body and one-piece maple neck and fingerboard.

The bass has a 34-inch scale, 38 mm nut, 20 frets and an L-21 split-coil pickup. Its original-looking Japanese 250k pots and .047 μF capacitor are documented. It weighs 3.8 kg; age-related wear remains visible. The frets were usable, and the instrument was cleaned, inspected and set up before it went to Rimini.
