The logo was "bleeded" by the paint.. the irregular contour and spots "eaten" up the shape of the F logo. Does any Fbass owners experienced this as well? | You REALLY need to be talking to George about this, not posting in a web forum.
IMHO.  |

| | | This is a pic of my new Fbass Studio custom. Can I join the club (again)?  
Closeup of Fbass vintage bridge. This was George's idea and his own design, thick gauge steel and amazing tone!  
47mm nut w/ wide string spacing: 
Of course visitors to Fbass get this:   
I have been dreaming about owning an Fbass for over a decade and always loved the look of the Studio. After learning a little more about them and how they were different from the BN, I was determined to get one when I got the scratch together. Well, that day came and I am completely floored by the result. Every aspect of this bass has come out exactly as I had hoped, from the light ash body, the wide neck and string spacing (my request)and deep deep neck pocket, this thing sounds like the hammer of Thor, either plugged or unplugged!
Even the finish came out wonderful, and no picture can really do it justice. I asked for a root beer metallic finish and it was that plus a little more; it also has some pearl character to it, changing subtley in the light. Amazing. Anyway, I just took a quick shot of it and gave up.
I vouch for these basses 150%. If you are looking for a super J bass, try and get your hands on a Studio; it will leave you wanting NOTHING.

Manu | It didn't selll which was a bit of a relief actually. I think I'll keep it.
The reason I tried to sell it was because I could use the money and my more obscure high end basses weren't moving.

With the 20 fret fingerboard it gives me a perfect position for popping. Fingerstyle just tears it up in the mix. If Fender had made a killer 1970's Ash five string Jazz bass... |
