Wow....just wow....That is one of my favorite looking F's of all time....and a fretted AC to boot (said with Canadian accent). Incredible.
LOL, Im a born & bred Canadian, and I've never heard anybody say that infamous
"a boot"/ "boot" phrase we seem to be known for.


Im just saving up for a Lefty BN7 now. I love my Conklin 7 string, but to have an F-bass version of it would be surreal

Its going to be incredibly hard to part with my current BN5 though..

So George can do ANY finish pretty much? Ritter has some incredible finishes available, some of them I'd just kill for on my BN7. (specifically this finish)

If he could mimic this to almost any degree I'd be ecstatic.

If we are, he has firmly and easily left me far behind eating dust. His collection very easily eclipses mine... always has, and very likely always will.

Still, I have no complaints or whines. I never forget how amazingly lucky I am to have what I have, and I never forget there are guys out there with much less playing time under their belt that can easily roast my skillz on a $200 plywood bass.

Thanks, everyone for the well wishes. We are back and I'll be catching up in here again, so apologies in advance if I post consecutive responses to old posts. I'll try to keep it to a minimum.

Good for you for remembering to repost your Fbass photos with the new thread.

Come on guys, let's see 'em!

I really need to rephotograph my basses.

Here are 4 of my Fs:

I think others have asked this question too, but I think it remains a closely guarded trade secret.

And yes, I love that finish too as you can see from my BN5. :-)
