Thought I would jump on the bandwagon here and post some pictures of two of my basses. I have been meaning to post these and more but, well, I'm lazy and didn't want to dig up where I hid the pictures. I have lots of pictures of me playing the basses but these are the only eye candy shots I...

So, I have a question for everyone out here in Fbass land. What bass specific strap (or non bass specific strap) are you using to gig with? I have been having a lot of problems with my shoulder and George and I have tried just about everything under the sun. I have no idea why I haven't asked...

Thanks very much for the great feedback guys. There are some great tips there and I think some of the tone suggestions are right on with what I was thinking but wasn't sure. The lighting thing drives me nuts as well but I'm just the bass player, lol. A friend of the the lead singers is a...

So guys. I'm hoping I can get some Fbass player's ears on my problem here. One of the bands I play with is a classic rock cover band. Fun stuff to play for the most part with the only downside being I have to wear really tight boxers to hit some of the harmony vocals they make me sing...

They have been working on cabs there for quite awhile but just started selling them. Right now you can't get them from anywhere but George down in the Fbass factory. I was there the other day and he has 2x10's and 2x12's in stock and a whole bunch of different Techamps to run into them. Still...

Its a 5/32" or 4mm (depending if you are wallowing in a metric land or not) hex wrench/allen key. Tom

I love my M9 Carbine. Been using it for about 10 months now and about the only thing that has been comparable to my ear is the Tecamp Black Jag 900. The Tecamp is amazing but I love my Carbine too much to make the switch. Anyways here are my settings for my 3 basses. Number 1 Bass: Fbass...

That is a killer picture of my BN5. Why can I never get pictures like that on my own? Link Removed

So, I'm happy to report that my latest bass is done and from my perspective I'm really really happy with the way it turned out :). Some of you may recall I was getting the black VF5 done with black and black and black, lol. The one thing I added to it was I had Alain Caron and George sign the...

I'm going with a solid black finish, black/white/black pickguard, black hardware and I'm going to get the pickup cover powder coated black so that its not the one piece of chrome on there throwing things off :). All the knobs will be black as well. I usually use the LaBella black nylon tape...

So I'm really starting to get excited about my new baby that's on the way. Here is a picture of her/him/it. Starting to look like a bass and everything now :). Tom

Just found this blast from my past while checking the contents of an old hard drive. This is my first Fbass :) Tom

Those replica's are going to be amazing. I had a chance to noodle on the original and it made me feel funny in ways i can't talk about in mixed company. I'm incredibly envious of you. Tom

Unfortunately i can't take credit for much other than trying to keep my bass playing from stepping on the bow jockeys.. lol. Actually i have to say i'm impressed that i don't look like i'm having a seizure when i have to sing those high harmonies. :) Tom

So this is a pretty horrible video but its the first recording i've gotten back with my new bass so i thought i would post a link. Its for a show that the CBC here in Canada is having auditions for. I have done a few recording gigs with this bass since i got it last month but this is the first...
