Hello Bruno
Haven't visited the forum for a couple of months, just browsing around and read your post.
See my post on page 3, dated 31 March 2008, I have a Limited Edition series P Bass pictured here, along with my Limited Edition Strat. I believe this series were the first replicas that Fernandes produced, before the Revival series came out. They are of higher quality build than the Revivals. In my opinion the sound/playability of these instruments is equal if not better than the instruments they imitate.
My P Bass is used regularly and is totally original/unmodified. The woods used are authentic - alder body, maple neck, veneer rosewood fingerboard.
As a working instrument, I would not swap it for a Fender. If I was out to make a big!! profit then I would.
Hope this provides the information you need.
Regards.
Baz.
