I don't own one...but thanks for thinking of me.

Cool...thanks.

[quote=tombowlus;6850241]Here are some F Bass shots from NAMM, in case y'all are interested.



I've been reading through the posts and checking out the forum for a while. I had the trans blue BN6 that's shown above snagged for me at the NAMM show and it is incredible! It's by far the best sounding bass I've ever played! I'll have to take some pics of it... I must say I was skeptical at first but after hearing so many people speak highly of this bass, I had to make the leap...and I'm very happy with it!

[DonovanBankhead]

Hey Jerome (Alphaman)! Glad to see you on here! I hooked Alphaman up with that bass. Let's get this man a number!

Love to... Jerome, are you able to post a photo of your BN6 for us? Technically, that's the requirement for this and the other club forums: that its owner post a photo.

"No photo, no bass," as they say.

If you can't though, I have no problem being lienient and extending the grandfathering rules we did to others as we organized up the club.

The BN6 is the best fretted 6-string bass I have ever played.

When it comes to 5s and 4s, there are a lot of reasons to like a lot of different basses, but when it comes to 6 string fretted basses, only 1 makes sense: the Fbass BN6. The 34.5" scale length makes the B string awesome without turning the C string tinny, the way the bass sounds, looks, plays... I just recently sold off my 2 six-string basses 'cause as much as I love 'em, I don't play them anymore and finally realized I wouldn't be going back to them. The BN6 just makes everything else look half thought out.

[thndrstk6]

What were your other two 6ers you sold off?

[Tom7]

A fretted and a fretless lined Yamaha Patitucci signature basses.

[Laughing] Wow, I'm losing it! I meant JerryJ!

How can a guy named "Tom" forget the name of a guy named "Jerry?"

Yeah whenever I've heard those basses I've always thought they sounded
really glassy, plasticy, or thin. There didn't seem to be and sharp or
defined tones to those basses. I've never played one though, I've just
heard them.

Andy just nails it on Donna Lee. And he's getting great tone on that bass he's playing, too. Not too shabby at all.

Thank you for the links. I am now officially a fan of Andy's.

Nice. Looks like a satin finish on her?

[DonovanBankhead]

Yup. Satin finish with black enhanced grain. That thing was a beauty, and played like butta!

OK, here's some of my crafty photo work of my BN6...

Thanks Donovan for hooking me up with this one! She does play like butta!

[Tom7]

Today's roster update welcomes Alphaman to the club. Just check out the satin (not to be confused with satan) finish on that beguiling, blue BN6. And how the grain works over the pickup colors... nice!

Thanks for the extra photos, Alphaman; they make enjoying your new bass more fun for us all.
