Club F-Bass (Part IX)

In!

subbed, mine will be here by Christmas time!

Me too!

Wow, Vic, you were the first in the last thread too!

Okay, this isn't an Fbass, but man, is it a fun clip for every bass player.

Hi guys,

I m looking for an AC4.

Anyone sale one of it ?

:hyper:

Tom7, thanks for that clip.

hi there! i dunno if you'd be interested in this, but if i'm not mistaken, there's an AC4 "classic" available right now at the F Bass.com website.

hope you get what you're looking for :)

Thanks

But it's an AC Signature that I m looking for. ;)

love me some fbass!!!!

Laughing! Well, that makes two of us!

Sure. :smug:

I want in on this club. First thought that entered my head when I plugged this bass in:

"I've wasted years searching and trading when I should've just gotten a $$%^'n FBass in the first place!!!"

My NYC Sadowsky PJ5 is still my number one workhorse, but this is hands down the best 6 I've ever owned (Atelier/MTD (x4), Smith, Warwick, Modulus). The Scale length solves two problems for me: My left wrist not liking ANY 35" Scale design and my ears not liking how thin sounding 34" scale C strings sound, or 35" C strings for that matter. JUST right with this design.

Very excited over here!

More to Report
 

OK, a few more awesome observations from last night.

1) The highest notes on the C string are the best sounding I've ever heard. The sustain is remarkable, but the notes sound thick and full throughout the decay of the note. fantastic.

2) The rigidity of the neck design coupled with (I think) the 'just right' scale length of 34.5" equals a bass that can hold lower action than any I've tried. I normally like a medium setup to dig in more, but I was surprised at how I could still do this with the action set right at 3/32nd's measuring underneath the bottom of each string to the last fret, and not fretting the first fret either.

3) The 19mm spacing coupled with what feels to me a narrower nut than other 'wide-spaced' sixers I've owned is just perfect. I've gotten to where I really notice the difference between 18mm and 19mm after gigging the crap out of my Sadowsky PJ5. GOTTA have 19mm. Need that extra room for slapping, and to make sure that my left hand doesn't grab the g string when it means to grab the C string. The overall ergonomics of this bass just work.

Hello, my Fbass brothers. I think of buying AC6 or BNF6 in 2 or 3 months. Is anybody gonna sell? May I ask this question here? :)

I'm very excited for you! And excited to get your experience in Club Fbass conversations.

(Continued)

I could not agree more with you about George's 6-string basses. The 34.5" scale length is absolutely the sweet spot for me too... for hand and tone reasons as you aptly wrote.

I like a lot of 5s and 4s, but I've sold all my other 6s because I just wouldn't play them. Six string Fbasses are just the king of all sixers!

Today's roster update welcomes ElMon and his BN6 to the fellowship of the F.

Welcome aboard! :hyper:
