Club Fbass (Part 4)

[Tom7]

Wow, here is a clip of a guy playing a BN6 who is a lot more ambitious than I am!

Hat's off to you, Harry!

[DonovanBankhead]

Wow. Watching that makes me think I need to go practice!

[Dave Hill]

Interesting tone with that BN6.

[Georges Abitbol]

Hi there,
Let me introduce you a nice french Fbass player:

Seen a few times, but still nice song & great playing!
Enjoy!

Came across this Japanese's band, wanna see how a F sounded in a mix?

[DonovanBankhead]

That Japanese band was really good - dug the bass tone!

Oh yeah, and Will Karling is a monster! Anyone know his background and who he has played with?

You will recall a previous post where I announced that I had gone to the F Bass Factory in Hamilton, met George and selected the wood for my new BN5. Geroge said it would take 6 weeks to build, largely because I chose a gloss finish which needs to cure after painting for 2 weeks. True to his word, the bass was ready in 6 weeks - actually 5 weeks and 1 day.

If I've done this right, there should be an attachment showing a sunburst BN5.

[J. Crawford]

There it is and its a beauty! Wow!

Congrats!

That is SUPER nice! I love the burst with the maple board look. One of my faves!

Yeah, that guy doesn't suck much....

Hey - cool news for us F Bass fans! I mentioned a month or so ago that I'm working on an interview with a Las Vegas Cirque De Soleil bassist. That interview is complete and will be posted this week. And it should be that every month after that for the rest of the year there will be new interviews posted on my site. Including people like Alain Caron, Etienne Mbapp, Dominique Dipiazza, and many others!!! Woot!

So send your questions in.

Been playing it for the last 5 hours. Teriffic feel and sound. Here's another quick shot of it in front of my rig.

Fbass, GK, and Mesa/Boogie: three of my favorite companies!

I'll bet it kicks butt through your rig! Wait 'til you get it out on a gig! That is where mine really comes into it's own.


DKB: Can't wait to check out these interviews! What you are doing is very cool indeed!

Today's roster update welcomes bassment bn5 and his, well, BN5, to the club.

Hopefully you'll tell us more about the gloss finish.
