FBASS VF5, New & KILLING!!!
 
1 Attachment(s)
I'm selling my near mint condition FBass VF5 for a GREAT price! I bought the bass new from Bass Central about a month ago and fell in love with it. This is hands down the best Jazz style bass I've ever played. The sound is punchy & clear, the balance is perfect & it plays in tune better than any bass I have. I'm ONLY selling because, at 6'4", 230lbs with big hands, the standard 44mm nut spacing is a little tight for me. I spoke to George Furlanetto (great guy to deal with) about it and decided to buy another VF5 that he had in stock that had a wider nut. That second bass is the one I'm going to keep so I need to move this one fast to ease the strain on the budget :-).

Basic specs are:
Brown Burst
Nut Width : 44mm (1 3/4")
Width at Last Fret 76mm (3")
Fingerboard Radius 9" - 14"
Scale Length 34"
Number of Frets 21
String Spacing at Bridge 19mm (3/4")
Neck Wood 1 piece slab maple
Fingerboard Wood Slab maple
Body Wood Ash
Tuners Chrome Gotoh tuners with 20:1 ratio
Bridge Hipshot L Plate Steel
Bridge Pickup Placement- 70's
Pick Guard Black/White/Black
Knobs Chrome and Black Plastic
Pickups Two F Bass single coil vintage pickups
Strings DR "Marcus Miller Stainless
Weight : a little over 10lbs (on bathroom scale)

This bass is wired with master volume pan & I will include an extra volume pot if you prefer to go Vol/Vol. It also has a graphite nut & the factory bone nut will be included as well.

Condition is 9.9/10. Just a little swirling on the pickguard from a few weeks of light playing. LIST PRICE ON THIS BASS IS $3650. SELLING FOR $2675 SHIPPED TO CONUS! Bass will come with a new FBass/Contego gig case. I prefer money order or bank check but will also accept PayPal.
COME GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for looking.

No interest in trading for a bn5 mint condition?

tallbass 03-21-2013 12:33 PM

I'd love a BN5 but right now I need to sell only.

tallbass 03-25-2013 07:06 AM

This is a great bass. Somebody give it a good home!

Bump for an FBass Fan!!!

That's a great deal! If I wasn't trying to build a house and dealing with a few other financial drainage I would be counting nickels and dimes to buy this one. Would even consider selling my lakland 55-60 after comparing the two in person. Ha!

tallbass 05-03-2013 11:38 PM

Price Drop!!
$2400 OBO (Shipped!)

Phillip Jordan 05-05-2013 10:22 AM

This is crazy that this has been around this long. Might as well just trade for my BN5 to round off you collection. Best of both worlds.

tallbass 05-11-2013 08:23 AM
