Club F-Bass (Part 6)

[DonovanBankhead]

Hey Friends,

I did a quick video for my buddy Chris Loe - he special ordered a BN6 that came out BEAUTIFULLY!

Let me warn you - my playing is especially sub-par. I only had about 30 minutes of battery left on my laptop and my family was asleep. So I just made up something quickly so that he could see/hear it....

Good Gosh, I can't wait to get my hands on this perfect Fbass piece of art from George!

It was all I could do to hold myself back from driving the 20-20 hours to Donovan's house last night to pick it up!

Sounded good to me, Donovan...

ESPECIALLY...

That chordal piece you did at the end. I liked that a lot!

Great looking and sounding bass for sure. Congratulations, Chris. I love my BN6, but sometimes I look at yours (and Yinhock's) and sometimes wish I'd have got mine blue as well. Sometimes. I'm pretty happy with my burst!

Laughing! I bet.

When Donovan made that video of my fretted AC6, I was nuts. I must have watched it a dozen times.

Aww, thanks Tom7! I really wasn't fishing for a compliment - that video was hastily put together, and all I hear when I listen to it is the flaws.



Okay, so what's heading to Springfield, has 5 strings, two stacked, single coil/hum-canceling, magnetic pickups, a one-piece body, slab neck AND A 34" SCALE?

DANG! Noyce.

[jogi68]

But I've never seen a single push pull pot with a 4 pole switch...

You mean like this:



MEC (who provide pots, pickups and electronics for Warwick and others) have almost any kind of potentiometer you could think of. It´s what I used modifying my VF-5, as the push/pull doesn´t pull out as much as other pots do - enough to assure you whether it´s in or out, though. Looks really sleek to me.

The only downside is that they are a bit hard to solder.

+1. I was thinking the same thing when this was posted. I believe Mitch's BN5 is 34 inches as well.

[Tom7]

Here's something for y'all to oggle awhile:



And here's a version for us 6 string players:

I can't see why not, as long as you pay the 24 fret user fee, you should be allowed in.

Of course!

Today's roster update bumps our streak of new members with all caps user names to two in a row, and welcomes BIGGUY78 to the club.

Nice bass. Marcus would be proud.

Chuckle. We should have thought of that sooner.
