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.

I've never heard of this model either. Is it made by Fender?

Yeah!

Now that is a gem. I have never owned a resonator. Do you play slide guitar?

I have a Yamaha keyboard as well, but only know a few boogie woogie songs on
it. My mother played and she was very good, having been an accordion player in
her youth.

Wow! 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.

Joe
