Club Fbass (Part 4)

[thndrstk6]

I was checking out Rudy's Music site and found this 2001 BN5. I love the finish. Not the
biggest fan of the reverse headstock though.

Is that one of the run that Jimmy Coppolo had made for his shop a few years back?

They really blow me of my socks!
Love that Koa BN5 also, your Mockups are amazing!!!

See Steve, I told you the upcharge for the Koa top would be worth it!

Thanks thndrstk6 for helping me prove my point. ;-)

LOL no problem. I'm really looking forward to seeing that thing in real
life. You should make one of your videos for it when you get it.

Oh I like the 2+3 on Fbasses too. The standard Fbass 5 string comes
2+3. I just don't like the reversed headstock as much.

Now I'm scratching my head (and checking my bank book)..

Might be worth a look... the specs are pretty similar, and the top is sick! Also, it's got a one piece body... gotta love that.

I bought my AC6 from these guys, and my Sadowsky premp, and had a good experience.

I like that bass, but I think I might like this one even more:

http://www.bassexchange.com/catalog/...oducts_id=2458

I'd definitely recommend these guys to anyone, but I should also add that Donovan has been my go to guy for Fbasses since. The other guys are good, but no one beats Donovan... starting with his Youtube videos and ending -- well, never ending. He's the best I know of.

Yeah. Those photos were posted here earlier and George came on and identified the bass for us all.

[DonovanBankhead]

Thanks for the very kind words, Tom7! I'm not sure I deserve them, but I will take them anyway.

Just did a quick vid with the Satin Natural VF5 that I have... The previous sound clips were kind of... crappy. Well, this one isn't that much better (consider the source). And for some reason today I had some weird latency issue with video/audio. But the bass sounded good!

[Laughing] Thanks, I was going crazy looking for them!

This roster update welcomes Jeffrey and his classic BN5 to our band of merry men. Hmm, how come we don't have any merry women in this club?

Anyway, welcome!

Yes, actually, you do deserve them. I probably wouldn't own a VF5 today if you hadn't made those videos for me / us. I can't think of a single vendor who does more to make people aware of how great Fbasses are, and I am SURE that other bass sellers are benefiting from the interest stirred by your videos. You are very good for Fbasses and our Fbass community.

BTW, like the new video of the "naked" VF5. Nice playing.

I really liked that clip. The BN4 sounds great, of course, but how old is that drummer? 8?

Cool clip, keep 'em comin'!

[sloasdaylight]

dear god I love this thread.

If anyone has a 6 string fretless they want to offload, PM ME!

I think the drummer is a little person.
