Are F-Basses rare?

I believe the Atlanta Bass Gallery has a nice used BN6 for sale...

Used BN6 is very hard to find...I think Gelb Music here in Redwood City still has a new one. I truely believe the maple board ash body combo is the ticket for the F bass sound. I've tried other board and it's just not the sound I want.

 

Shhhhh!

 

Sorry man... I had no idea.

I recently found out that I'm an ash + maple guy. After having spent good quality time with one of the most beautiful Sadowsky NYC's to date (chambered ash w/ebony board), I was totally drawn to the F's feel and sound. Can't beat it.

 

Heh, it's no big deal. Just joking around. I am trying to raise the money for it, but I don't expect it to last too much longer. :^/

 

I think 5 or 6 string are not rare, but 4 string is almost impossible to find.

Cheers

 

The problem that most people have with 4s is that the upcharges are too much for most to handle. Unfortunate, but true.

 

No sweat... I knew that. Best of luck getting it. This would be one I'd sell a kidney for if I didn't already have one.

 

HI

They are rare compared to alot of basses you might know about as far as numbers produced. He pretty much hand makes them.

So, uh, how well do sperm banks pay?

Used sixers are hard to find, indeed.

I concur. It absolutely killed the Zon 519 and Alembic Orion I tested along side it.

 

Umm.......no not rare!
In fact I happen to know where a nice BNF5 for sale is

 

I love my BN5.
I would get others F Bass now without problems....
A bit later, I need to save money!
