Sterling on hold. FBass still avail. Finally have pictures to send from my phone. Will try to get uploaded in near future. Tough as I am on the road this week. Added info based on questions... both basses are 9.6lbs each on the bathroom scale.

It GREATLY pains me to do this but building a new home and 4 growing mouths to feed mean non-essentials have to go. 2011 F-Bass VF-5. Sunburst with madagascar rosewood board. Excellent+ shape. Some very slight belt indentations on back. F-Bass gig bag. F-Bass strap. Dunlop strap locks...

I run 2 x 112's and haven't looked back. Does everything I need and is a lightweight rig to cart around... Small gigs, 1 x 112 is more than enough. 2 are always more fun though :) [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Anyone know what size hex (allen) tool is needed to adjust bridge saddle on a hipshot b equipped BN? Cheers!

Anyone hear if the MB Fusion 800's are shipping yet. Chomping at the bit here to get one!!

No sir. If I recall correctly, Vic's had a different bridge. I did exchange PM's with him when he was selling.. I wasn't ready then and this past week the stars aligned so to speak.

Welcoming another very fine F-Bass gal into the house this week! VF5 with madagascar rosewood to go along with my beloved NPF BN5 with birdseye board. My wife says ok, now you are done right? Thinking to myself as I quickly change the subject... maybe it's time to start trying the fretless...

I have run mine both vertical and horizontal. Rocks both ways. :hyper: As mentioned, after 25-30 hours it does open up noticeably after break in. Enjoy!

Anyone in the LA area? Here's a fretless BN5 for cheapie cheapie.. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Absolutely and I agree. It's like owning a high end sports car... those rides often stay indoors for the winter. Out of the 20 - 30 gigs booked for this summer, there are 5 - 6 where I don't want to bring the BN as they aren't the most illustrious venues. If I had limitless cash then no prob...

So here's the dilemma... I'm a 1.5 year F-Bass convert and will not ever part with my BN5. With 4 young kids, I had to sell all my other basses to get this one and I wouldn't change a thing. We all know the excellence of George's basses and it has significantly contributed to great...

Right on... I can see another addition to the family this summer then!

Thanks Tom! Did you have time to compare it to the current Fusion 500? Assume it sounds the same but with more juice?
