Man, this is going to suck. I just got this beautiful F Bass BN6 from AJ Brown and it is just smokin' - just beautiful to look at and plays better than ANY other 6 I have encountered. Just a work of art and sounds amazing.
I just had a set of Nordstrand Big Splits installed which were expensive but fantastic sounding pups. They take care of any lo gain output problems you may have heard about F basses. The bass is wired to Master Vol / Pan now. I spent a few hundreds on these mods. I still have the original F Bass pickups. Bass is in very good condition and includes a like new gig bag. Reason for selling is I still feel better on a five and to be frank, I need the funds, so let the wise comments commence but this one is as of right now up for sale for $2900. I am losing $ from what I bought it for couple of weeks ago AND put a few hundred in as well.
So, unfortunately, $2900 plus shipping makes it yours. No Paypal , please.

Hey Adrian,
Bummer that bass didn't work out...just a GORGEOUS bass!
Hope you're well, brother, and I hope you sell it quickly!

I imagine the addition of the Big Singles to this bass to be a wonderful improvement. This'll make someone VERY happy indeed.

If I was a die-hard 6 stringer, this'd be THE ONE!

correction - the Nordstrand pickups on this bass are Big Splits, not Big Singles- i cannot keep up with Carey's pickup names. All I know is they sound good!

Man alive, this is one gorgeous bass...easily one of the nicest 6's around.

Good luck with the sale brother!!

I'm deeply saddened that you have to let this go Adrian, yet I understand entirely. I wish I had the funds to buy it back, especially with the Nordy's in it now. Someone will get a phenomenal bass here.

sounds real good, though ... ;)

i just need a good, fat, punchy, inexpensive 5 to go with my Nordy. Leo, I should have never let that white Fender go... you shouldn't have either! :D er, i mean...:scowl:

Bump for a wonderful bass. I wish I could afford to just keep this around, it is an amazing bass.

Taking her on a couple of gigs tonight- if I manage to handle the 6 strings without killing myself, I will pull this off the market and keep it- it is that killer...

ahh, the bass kills! it's the bassist getting lost on 6 strings that is the problem.
Anyways...
I have gotten a number of pm's offering partial trades. There are a couple of things I am willing to entertain since I will have to buy another bass anyways- so trades I would consider are
1. F Bass bn5 plus $1400
2. Fender American Dlx 5 plus $2000
3. Lakland 55-02 plus $2000
4. Mike Lull MV5 plus $1400
Basses I am interested in would be Ash bodied and Maple board five strings. Thanks for looking again!
