Details

For sale is an Fbass BN5 fretted bass. It has a swamp ash body, with maple neck and fingerboard, and a sunburst finish. While this bass has collector appeal because of its serial number, this is a player’s bass and has some scuffs, a couple minor finish chips at the neck pocket, and ordinary signs of use, but overall, it is in good shape. The frets are in good shape. It is serial number 010100, which if I have my Fbass terminology correct, means it is the first bass, of the first month, of the year 2000, making it the first Fbass of the millennium. Bathroom scale says weight is 9.5 pounds. Sale includes the original Fbass gig bag.

This has been my main bass for some 16 years. I love it, but I’m not playing nearly as much these days as I used to, and it’s time for someone else to get some love out of it. Price is $2,500 including shipping to the CONUS. Will accept Paypal and will ship to Paypal address only. Bass is in Maryland, just outside of DC. I prefer a local sale if possible, for which I will consider a discount if you can pay cash and can pick up the bass in person. Please start a conversation if you have serious interest or questions. I’m not really looking for trades at this time. Thanks.

Some interest expressed, but bass is still available. Controls are V/V/T with push pull pots for active/passive and humbucker/single coil. Has Fbass three band preamp, the most musical onboard preamp I've heard.

Would love to get a firm deal in place today. Otherwise, it'll go to the shop, and they will jack up the price. Might consider a trade for a NYC Sadowsky modern 5, but I prefer older ones.

Oh, a 2000 build. Nice......this F would have a nitro finish.
Someone better jump on this quick while my bank accounts empty!

Oh, and for those who have been asking, I'm assuming the pickups are the custom made F Bass ones from Seymour Duncan. Preamp is the F Bass three band, boost only, with knob lift for active/passive operation.
