Tuesday can't come fast enough. I don't know why I didn't think to pay extra to get it here faster.

Oh well. My next gig isn't until February 8-9th, so that'll give me some time to get acquainted with it before it gets used live.

The mixed knobs (silver and black) is a bit weird. Can't quite wrap my head around that. Not sure where it's just Ok, or if it would bother me. Not a big deal to switch to one style knob however.

HOT DAMN!! I love F's

I'd really like to get my hands on a natural VJ5 Fbass with black pickguard and rosewood FB. With my GAS... it's only a matter of time

Ostinato · #**389** 01-21-2008, 10:23 PM

Lawdy Lawd what a bevy of basses...

I really like the satin red/maple BN5

Not a single 4-string F at NAMM?

Tuesday is here. Did my new favorite looking F arrive at your house yet?

I've never played an f-bass but ever since I saw a picture of one years ago, I've thought they are the best looking basses on earth. Do they play and sound as nice as they look?

Yes, they have a decided more vintage Jazz-like tone (go figure!

). The feel is quite different, too, as they are 34" scale (as opposed to the standard 34.5" scale for most F Basses).

It's here!!!

I've been too busy playing it to get on TB.

So far, all I can say is "WOW!!!". Absolutely stunning in person.

I'll post more tomorrow, once I've had a chance to put it through its paces a little bit more.

Are they a new model? There's no pictures of them on the Fbass web site, just specs, assuming it's a VF-5? I'm surprised there hasn't been more chat about them, I know I wouldn't mind checking one out. The pretty ones are nice but they highlight my slovenliness.
