I've never heard of a Fernandes. Who makes it? How many pickups and what type? The reason I bought the Egnater is because it was the only tube amp I could find in the price range ($600). There was a Marshall solid state in that range, but you can't be the sound of a tube amp. The Marshall had a lot of effects built in which I made up for with pedals. These days pedals come pretty cheap in plastic housings. N> I also have a Frankenstrat.

You got a lot for your money. I bought my son a set around 12 years ago for around $350. It had only a snare, bass, one tom,a high hat and crash symbol. I played snare drum in high school so I enjoyed playing the set as well. I'm not sure what he did with the drums after he got older. N> If only I learned bass guitar, I could do a one man band recording N> lol. Yep. If you play guitar, bass is easy enough to play at a basic level. I see guys on YouTube that video each instrument;s part to a song, then put it together showing them playing each instrument. Thanks for sharing.
