At 3.25 kg this is a manageable weight for long sessions, and the P\/J layout covers both the thick, focused split-coil voice and the brighter bridge single-coil tone. Honest playwear, a straight neck and correct Japanese hardware make this a practical player-grade instrument for left-handed bassists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease feel free to message with any questions before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSETUP \u0026amp; INSPECTION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCleaned, set up, and inspected by our luthier before shipping:\u003cbr\u003e- Neck relief and action adjusted\u003cbr\u003e- Frets and fingerboard cleaned\u003cbr\u003e- Intonation set\u003cbr\u003e- Tuners and electronics checked\u003cbr\u003eYour instrument arrives ready to play.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSHIPPING FROM JAPAN\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Shipped worldwide from Japan with full tracking and insurance\u003cbr\u003e- Carefully packed with protective wrapping, strings detuned to relieve neck tension in transit\u003cbr\u003e- Processed and shipped within 2-4 business days\u003cbr\u003ePlease message us with any questions before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reverty Used Guitars Japan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50088458584306,"sku":"FER_0905","price":46300.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/3113\/3426\/files\/01_c61c261e-81a3-4d73-83d7-fda302fac1da.jpg?v=1789437041","url":"https:\/\/revertyjapan.com\/products\/1980s-90s-fernandes-frb-45-revolver-bass-left-handed-pj-white-mij-japan-lefty","provider":"Reverty Used Guitars Japan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
