Details

Up for sale is my Fbass BN5. I love everything about this bass, except the taper of the strings near the nut. I just prefer wider spacing at the nut, so even though it pains me I must move it. The tone and playability of this bass is awesome.

Bass is from Ontario builder George Furlanetto, bass is finished in the optional Auburn Burst with matching headstock and heal. Ash body. 22 fret-34.5" scale maple neck with an upgraded Macassar Ebony fingerboard. Two hum-cancelling pickups run through a defeatable (boost only) 3-band EQ. black hardware and F-Bass gigbag.

Bass is in a very good used condition (8.75/10). There's some small player wear near the end of the bass where the gloss finish is just a bit duller. Also there is a small impression on the back of the neck around the 9th fret. It is small and you can barely feel it but it is there so I am mentioning it. It bothers me not. I have included pictures of both areas as well as others showing the rest of the bass which is really clean.

Price is $2150 shipped to CON US. F bass gig bag included.

As far as trades go. Really on interested in 35" scale, 5 string jazzer like Mike Lulls or Lakland Skyline (JO or DJs). Looking for less than 9.5 lbs on trades. Maybe the right Roscoe SKB (no LGs). Also may consider Aguilar Sl112 cabs or TH500 amp. Run em by me. Plus or minus cash depending on the bass. I will be out for vacation and can ship by Thursday otherwise it will have to wait until I return.

Man-o-man what a really sweet looking bass!

I've had a love affair with the one that is posted as my avatar for quite some time. And I have BN6 that will be buried with me. There is just something so right with George's basses. Beside being so darn sexy with all the curves.

Good luck with the sale. Someone is going to love that bass.

I have a Roscoe SKB 3005 with Nordstrand fat singles I could trade.

It's dark red lacewood with birdseye finger board.

I have three Roscoes and this one doesn't get played much.

Full (before the Nordstrand upgrade

If you think you are interested I'll try to make a decent youtube hd video.

How's it going Radmin? It's a small world you know. You bought my Roscoe fretless a couple of years ago. I actually got that bass from Saluki. This was one of two Roscoes I got from Cory. Anyway, this looks like a really nice BN5. Whoever lands this will be happy and they couldn't get it from a better guy!

It is a small world indeed! That fretless is still minty fresh.
