This is a rare 70s vintage FERNANDES BO-50 Sunburst bass from the stone logo era, featuring a unique through-neck construction.
It's a rare PB-type through-neck design, offering long sustain and a rich, resonant sound.
The sen wood body provides a tight, focused sound.
The reason for the "defective" status is that, as shown in the photos, there is a crack extending from the headstock tip to approximately the 1st string tuning peg.
There are also multiple drilled holes and screw holes in the body.
