FBass BN6F Fretless, Neck thru, w/18mm Spacing

[ElMon]

Ok, still looking for either reasonable offers (anything below $3300 bucks won't be answered) or trades plus cash my way. At this point I'd accept just about any trade provided the item you're offering can be easily re-sold to make up the cash difference.

Good Example:

You: "Hey brosef, I have a killer Ernie Ball Stingray 5 plus $2500!"
Me: "broski! that's awesome, let's do it"

Bad example:

You: "Hey brohime, I've got this killer 7 string fretless made by an obscure but talented builder from Uzbekistan. His stuff is just as good as a Fodera!"

Me: "I'm sure it's awesome, but I'd have an easier time selling a bassoon on this forum!"

Preferred trades plus cash list:

Sadowsky Metro
Stingray 5's
Fenders
Roscoe
Modulus
Aguilar


I should also note that if someone were crazy enough to want to dump an Alleva Coppolo 5 I'd be into either a straight trade or in adding some cash your way in case yours has some sort of Promethean Fantabulos Rosewood from an area of the Amazon that is not on any map and has been aged for 700 years by a vampire/wood supplier.

Promethean fantabulous rosewood? Did you get into your lady's literary stash?? Or is that code for Ritter?

Just a dig at my AC brethren, of who's club I"d one day join! I remember when it was called Brazilian Rosewood, and that was exotic sounding enough. Dalbergia Negra! Sounds like the fanciest Starbucks drink you've ever had!

I DO know that Uzbekistan exports a lot of gold and uranium.



And I'm sure her bass luthiers are outstanding!

Crackin me up sir! Be careful not to export your stomach contents outside of the US as you might violate that provision about transporting Brazilian RW outside of the US. CITES treaty or something. Be careful!

UPDATE:

WILL ship internationally provided buyer pays extra shipping charge.

Free bump, I am the owner of a BNF6 and I am surprised this has lasted here this long. I would consider selling a kidney (or both) before I let mine go, but if it is time to find a new home for it... good luck!

I could never afford a bass like that, but . . . bump for Bill Hicks.

If it wasn't for how the strap position affects my left hand this bass would NEVER leave! For those who don't know, while this bass is 34.5" scale length, the longer upper horn makes it sit almost like a short scale bass, and the nut is much closer to your body then even a 34" scale bass. No problem reaching the lower position.

With as many gigs as I don't have right now, I probably don't deserve 4 of these six wonderful strings, and by that I do of course mean that the B string stays clear and focused well above the 12th fret....if there was in fact a fret there you see.

[ElMon]

Seriously considering Evil Bay at this point.....

Anyone with a Stingray Classic 5 and a trashbag full of ones?

[ElMon]

ttt

[ElMon]

Back on the block. Ebay was terrible as usual. $100 to NOT sell a bass. Yay!

[Dieps17]

So many great basses, this is a beauty

[ElMon]

Thanks. It really does have elegant lines and is so smooth and shapely in person. George does beautiful work and if this was a 5 string I'd most likely NOT have ordered the custom Sadowsky Fretless I have coming in in a few months.

Bumpage.
