My BN6 In Progress

here is a photo George sent last week. he's working on the neck this week- It's supposed to be tobacco burst- but spoke with Donovan and might try to switch the color to Green satin finish instead- I really like that color........
Oh yeah- and this bass will be light- close to 9Lbs!!!!

But, seriously, there is a used VF4 on the Fbass site, I think.

LOL! I feel the same way about my BN4. I don't think George has made that many 4-string basses. Any thoughts as to what % of Fbasses are 4-bangers?

My health is getting better and I've started playing again. I've got some friends coming over in the near future and I'll try to record something with my AC6-classic under it, a standard like Unforgettable or something so you can can hear in a mix what a really great acoustic bass it is.

There's more music in the nuance than the notes.

BN6

Well guys, there's a slight kink in my BN6 plans... I was set to order it last week but Mr. Practicality came by and said, "Hey, maybe it's best to wait til after the wedding to order the bass huh?" And I said, " Hmmm, sure Mr. P., that makes sense. I guess I will do that."

My wedding is in May, so the extra wait sucks but hopefully I'll still be on track to get it for my b-day in November.

Back to the thread...

Hey Yohann, totally understand but sorry to hear that. I was looking forward to scratching up the new finish before it was shipped ...


BTW, did you try to call me yesterday? I had a message totally scratchy and I think from Cal.

Jeez, Yohann, why order one? What could be better than this one hanging on the wall at you-know-where? Macassar ebony ...yum.
